BusinessEnergyQuotes.com is a new UK-based business energy price comparison website, first launched in February 2020. Its parent company is the energy conglomerate Global Procurement Group (GPG).[1] GPG trades in the UK as Northern Gas and Power, an award-winning UK energy consultancy[2]. Its UK headquarters are on Gateshead Quays, in Tyne and Wear[3]. Other GPG offices are based in France, India, Malta and the USA.
History
In 2019, GPG began the development of Business Energy Quotes.[4] The algorithms and software technology that powers BusinessEnergyQuotes.com were developed by GPG’s Research & Development hub in Malta.[5] Business Energy Quotes is unique in that it utilises smart grid connectivity to provide accurate quotations by using true usage data as opposed to estimates.[6] GPG's Research & Development hub in Malta have also created other energy monitoring and targeting and energy management software.[7]
Service
BusinessEnergyQuotes.com is a free-to-use, no-obligation, pricing comparison service. Limited companies are able to search through energy suppliers’ quotes within ten seconds by entering two pieces of information: a business postcode and a contract-end-date. One of Business Energy Quotes' key features is the speed at which the service can operate. Business Energy Quotes does not require telephone communication and is conducted completely online. The entire process takes less than three minutes. The pricing platform has been created to make switching business energy providers a quick and simple process, as the current standard of switching business energy providers is time-consuming and can take between four to six weeks.[8]
Differentiation
As well as the speed of its online service, BusinessEnergyQuotes.com differentiates itself from many other price comparison engines through the use of smart grid connectivity, which enables it to measure precise energy consumption and instantly identify a business’ specific electricity meter, enhancing both the speed and reliability of the service and offers quoted.[9] It's also the only dedicated comparison engine for business energy prices. Moreover, BusinessEnergyQuotes.com is able to produce quotes for all types of business electricity, including Half-Hourly Data for large business energy meters.[10] BusinessEnergyQuotes.com also allows for "Green Only" quote searches which can help businesses find “100% Green Offers Only”[11] and reduce their carbon footprint. Another key distinction from many other business energy comparison sites is that there is no need for human interaction at all to secure the business energy tariff – the entire process can be completed fully online in under three minutes.[12]
Advertising
BusinessEnergyQuotes.com’s launch coincided with a national advertising campaign, partnering major media and entertainment corporations including Global and Sky, who promoted the website’s ability to save businesses hundreds of pounds against business energy renewal offers.[3]
