Moving premises can be chaotic – but energy shouldn’t be an afterthought. Here’s how to handle it the right way.
1. Before You Move In
• Check existing meter status and supplier
• Submit opening readings
• Sign a new contract to avoid high out-of-contract rates
2. Before You Move Out
• Submit closing reads with the supplier
• Notify them in writing of your departure date
• Provide forwarding address for the final bill
3. Contract Transfers
Energy contracts do not automatically move with the premises. Ensure the correct legal entity is associated with the meter.
4. Avoid Common Mistakes
• Don’t ignore deemed rates
• Don’t assume the landlord has managed the energy
• Always check meter numbers match your contract
