Find my supplier for electricity and gas.
How is energy supplied:
In the UK, energy is distributed through a complex network of power lines and gas pipes. Electricity is generated at power stations and distributed to homes and businesses via the National Grid, while gas is extracted and then transported through pipelines.
Why do you need to know who supplies electricity and gas to you?
Understanding who supplies energy to your home or business is crucial for several reasons.
Accurate energy bills: Your energy bills reflect the charges for your energy consumption, and you need to understand them to manage your budget effectively. This knowledge helps you avoid unexpected expenses and plan your finances accordingly.
Price comparison: The UK energy market offers various suppliers with different pricing structures. Comparing energy prices before switching suppliers ensures you get the most competitive rates, potentially saving you money in the long run.
Customer service: Energy suppliers differ in the quality of customer service they provide. Having a responsive and helpful supplier is essential, especially when you encounter issues or need assistance with your energy supply.
