The Nationwide Caterers Association (NCASS) partners with EIC Partnership to provide tailored energy solutions, helping members make informed decisions and control energy costs effectively.

As energy markets evolve, 2025 presents new challenges and opportunities for hospitality businesses. A well-planned energy strategy can mean lower bills, fewer headaches, and more time to focus on customers.

Here’s how you can take charge of your energy this year:

1. Evaluate All Contract Options

Review all energy contract options before committing. Avoid brokers pushing for quick decisions and seek recommendations based on a detailed analysis of your needs.

2. Timing Is Everything

Signing at the right time can lead to big savings. Energy prices fluctuate—work with advisors who monitor market trends to lock in the best rates.

3. Prioritise Transparency and Honesty

The best advisors recommend contracts based on your business needs, even if it requires more effort on their part. Trust and transparency ensure better decision-making.

4. Monitor Prices Beyond Contracts

Energy management doesn’t stop with a signed contract. Stay informed about future price changes to act swiftly when renegotiating your deal.

5. Keep an Eye on Your Bills

Billing errors are common—always review invoices for accuracy. An expert review can identify discrepancies, leading to refunds and future cost reductions.

6. Act Quickly to Avoid Out-of-Contract Rates

If you’re moving into a new property or nearing the end of a contract, prioritise getting into a new agreement as soon as possible. 

Out-of-contract rates can be exorbitant, one NCASS member manged to reduce their energy bill by 63%, saving over £13,000 annually.

7. Seek Expert Help for Change of Tenancy (COT) Processes

Entering or leaving a property involves more than just handing over the keys. Ensure that the Change of Tenancy (COT) is processed correctly, avoiding costly errors and ensuring fair charges from day one.

8. Leverage Expertise for Long-Term Savings

Proactive energy management goes beyond quick fixes. Collaborate with experts who bring a deep understanding of the energy market and are committed to your success.

Ensure a Brighter, Stress-Free 2025 

Imagine a 2025 where energy costs don’t eat into your profits, where price spikes don’t keep you up at night, and where you have the confidence that your business is covered.

For NCASS members and hospitality businesses, a smarter energy strategy means more time for what you do best, creating incredible experiences for your customers. 

With the right approach and expert support, you can cut costs, simplify energy management, and focus on growing your business stress-free.

 

Start 2025 with clarity, confidence, and control over your energy.
