KVA bands get set at contract start and never reviewed. The supplier doesn't flag it. The broker doesn't flag it. You just keep paying for capacity you don't use — sometimes for years.The Broker's Guide
I Work in the Energy Industry. Here's What Brokers and Suppliers Are Both Doing to Your Business.
The Broker's Guide — the energy guide they didn't want you to have.
I'm not going to tell you who I work for. But I've spent years inside the commercial energy industry watching the same overcharges appear on business contracts month after month. Suppliers rely on you not knowing. Brokers rely on you not asking. This guide changes that.
The average business overpays £3,400 a year. This guide costs £29.
I charge £29 because free gets ignored. This won't.
Launch price — £29 until 30 June 2026. Price rises to £39 after that.
What I've Seen From The Inside
These are the things nobody in the industry will tell you.
02
Broker commission can be up to 3p per kWh, invisibly embedded in your unit rate. It won't appear anywhere on your bill. You were never supposed to know it was there.03
At renewal we lead with the unit rate because that's what customers check. The standing charge quietly doubles. Almost nobody notices until they've signed.04
'Fixed rate' contracts aren't always fixed. Most contain clauses that let suppliers increase your rate mid-term. Most customers never read them. Most never challenge them.05
You can claim back up to 6 years of overcharges. Suppliers know this. Brokers know this. They're both counting on you not knowing it — or leaving it too late.What You Get for £29

The Half-Hourly Meter Shift — What's Coming for Your Business
Ofgem and network operators are in the process of migrating Profile Class 3 and 4 business meters to mandatory half-hourly (HH) settlement. This rollout is happening through 2026 and 2027. If your business is currently on a standard meter, this is coming whether you want it or not — and most businesses have no idea what it means for their bill.
01
When your meter migrates to half-hourly settlement, KVA capacity charges apply for the first time. Your opening KVA band gets set at migration. If it is set too high — which it routinely is — you will overpay from day one.02
Half-hourly meters record your consumption in 30-minute intervals. You can be billed at different rates for different periods — peak, shoulder, and off-peak. Billing errors at the boundary between rate periods are common and almost never caught.03
The migration window is when suppliers and brokers reset your contract. Rates get renegotiated, terms get rewritten. Most businesses sign without reading. This is the single most important moment to have the right information.The guide covers exactly what to do before, during, and after your meter migration — including how to challenge your opening KVA band from day one.

The guide costs £29. The maths speaks for itself.
Questions
Someone who works in the commercial energy industry. I'd rather not say more than that. Everything in the guide comes from direct experience of how brokers and suppliers operate — not research, not theory. I've seen these charges applied and I've seen them successfully challenged.
Most people identify at least one overcharge within the first hour of reading.
Everything is written and ready. You fill in your name and account number. That's it.
Your supplier is hoping you never find this. Your broker is too.
