Business Power & Gas Background
A relatively new provider, BPG Energy (Business Power & Gas ) draws on the experience of its founders, who have a combined experience of 50 years.
BPG was apparently set up to cater to businesses who find dealing with energy providers complex and frustrating, so BPG promise to make managing their account simple and straightforward. They also claim to be able to provide far more affordable tariffs than the ‘Big Six’ suppliers.
BPG Energy Smart Meter
There’s some information about smart meters on the BPG site. Customers are invited to contact BPG’s customer services to find out if their business would benefit from a smart meter. If so, they can book a time and date for installation.
Smart meters are designed for the most accurate monthly billing, rather than reading the meter manually. The meter also records usage in real time, so the user knows how much energy they’re using at a glance. The government has imposed a deadline of 2020 for all energy providers to offer them to domestic and small business customers.
BPG Energy Meters
To submit a reading, customers can fill out a form on the BPG website. There’s also advice available on reading mechanical, digital and dial electricity meters.
There’s no mention of gas meter readings, which suggests BPG don’t provide dual fuel or gas tariffs.
Business energy customers who don’t use a smart meter or Automatic Meter Reading (AMR Meter) should get in the habit of submitting a reading every month, because it keeps the bill accurate.
BPG Energy Bills
Your bill will look a lot like the example shown on the BPG site, including a few definitions and an explanation of charges. Payment will generally be made through Direct Debit, either monthly or quarterly.
If you’re out of contract, or have just moved into a property powered by Business Power & Gas, you’ll pay Deemed Rates.
BPG Energy App
There’s no app available to customers and there doesn’t appear to be an online account either. Potential customers should ask about this when enquiring about prices.
Switching To BPG Energy
