What types of business energy plans are available?

Business energy plans come in a range of options depending on your usage and location. These include fixed-rate plans, variable-rate plans, demand-based pricing, and time-of-use tariffs. At Zembl, we work with a panel of leading energy retailers to help businesses compare and switch to plans tailored to their specific needs, whether you're a small shop or a multi-site operation.

How can I evaluate the efficiency of my current energy plan?

Start by comparing your current rates, usage patterns, and contract terms against what's available in the market. Zembl makes this easy with a free business energy comparison. We assess your energy bill and identify whether you're on a competitive rate or overpaying, then switch you to a more cost-effective plan, if one's available.

What are the most common energy-saving practices for businesses?

Popular energy-saving strategies for businesses include switching to LED lighting, optimising heating and cooling systems, installing timers and motion sensors, and upgrading to energy-efficient equipment. Zembl can also refer eligible businesses to expert partners for energy audits, solar assessments, and energy efficiency upgrades.

How does my business size impact energy plan options?

Your energy usage and business size directly affect the plans available to you. Smaller businesses may benefit from market retail offers, while larger businesses with high consumption can access custom-negotiated commercial energy contracts. Zembl works with businesses of all sizes to find the best-fit plan based on their energy needs.

Are there specific energy providers for small vs large businesses?

Some energy retailers specialise in servicing either small or large businesses, offering tailored pricing models, billing structures, and contract terms. Zembl partners with a diverse panel of providers to ensure we can match your business with a retailer that suits your size, industry, and energy profile.

What incentives are available for businesses to switch to renewable energy?

Incentives for switching to renewable energy vary by state and may include rebates, grants, or feed-in tariffs for solar installations. Zembl can help you explore these opportunities and connect you with providers offering green energy plans or solar solutions to help reduce both your environmental footprint and operating costs.

How can I track my business's energy consumption more effectively?

Monitoring your business's energy usage is key to identifying waste and improving efficiency. Smart meters, energy monitoring systems, and online usage portals can help. Zembl can also connect you with energy intelligence partners who offer real-time tracking and reporting tools for larger businesses.

What steps should I take if I want to switch energy providers?

Switching energy providers is simple with Zembl. Just send us a recent energy bill and we'll compare available plans from our panel of trusted retailers. If we find a better deal, we'll handle the switching process for you, no interruption to your supply, no paperwork, and no stress.

What are the long-term benefits of investing in energy-efficient technologies?

Investing in energy-efficient technologies can lead to lower energy bills, reduced environmental impact, and improved sustainability credentials. Over time, these upgrades often pay for themselves through savings and can give your business a competitive edge. Zembl can support you in exploring efficiency solutions that deliver real ROI.
