Managing half-hourly energy: how EDF can help your business
Keeping on top of business energy can take time. Whether you operate from a single site or manage multiple sites – understanding your energy use, staying on top of accounts and planning for future costs can all become part of the day-to-day challenge.
If your business has half-hourly (HH) electricity metering, you already have access to detailed information about how and when you use energy. Combined with the right support and tools, this insight can help you make more informed decisions about your energy management.
At EDF, we aim to make managing your business energy as straightforward as possible, helping you access the information and support you need when you need it.
Keep your energy simple
Business energy can involve contract renewals, account management and keeping track of changing business requirements. As businesses grow or evolve, these tasks can become more complex.
Our energy specialists can help you understand the options available to your business and provide guidance on managing your energy. For businesses with multiple locations, we can also discuss ways to simplify portfolio management where appropriate, while allowing you to add new sites quickly and easily at any time.
Having a clearer view of your energy can help make planning ahead a little easier.
Support from people who get to know your business
Every business is different, and sometimes it helps to speak to someone who understands your circumstances.
Our dedicated customer service Pods bring together energy specialists who provide ongoing support when you need it. This continuity can make it easier to resolve queries and manage your accounts without having to start from the beginning each time you get in touch.
We also keep our pricing simple and transparent. Unlike contracts that can separate out additional metering, network and data-related costs, our prices include these charges within your unit rate and standing charge where applicable. This means you'll have a clearer view of your energy costs, making it easier to understand and manage your bills without needing to navigate complex industry charges.
Whether you need help understanding your account, guidance on your energy, or support reviewing your costs, our teams are here to help.
Manage your account online
Having easy access to your energy information can help save time and make day-to-day account management more convenient.
With MyAccount, customers can manage their business energy online. Depending on your account setup, this may include viewing bills, checking energy usage and managing account information in one place.
For businesses with more than one location, linked accounts can also provide greater visibility across sites, helping you keep track of your energy information more easily.
Make the most of your energy data
Half-hourly electricity metering records your electricity consumption every 30 minutes, providing a detailed picture of how your business uses energy throughout the day.
This information can help you better understand your operating patterns, identify periods of higher demand and investigate unexpected changes in consumption.
Where your metering and account arrangements support it, tools such as Energy Hub, available through MyAccount, can help you explore your usage data in more detail. These insights may help you identify opportunities to improve efficiency and better understand how energy is used across your business.
The more visibility you have into your energy use, the easier it can be to make informed decisions about your operations.
Support as your business grows
Business needs rarely stand still. Whether you're opening new sites, changing the way you operate or simply looking for a better understanding of your energy use, having the right support in place can make a difference.
At EDF, we provide access to customer support, digital account management tools and information to help you manage your business energy with confidence.
Whatever stage your business is at, we're here to help you stay connected to the information and support you need.
