Why multi-site businesses are choosing one supplier - and why you should too!

By Chelsea - Small Business Marketing team | Posted February 11, 2026

Running a business with multiple sites is an achievement in itself, but managing energy contracts across different locations? That’s often where the complexity creeps in. Different suppliers, different bills and far too much admin.

The good news is that choosing one supplier for your energy supply can transform the way you manage your business, so let’s break down how more multi‑site businesses are powering their growth and why EDF stands out.

What is a multi-site business?

A multi‑site small business is a business that operates from more than one physical location, this could mean anything from two shops to a handful of offices. Small businesses usually fall within an annual energy use of up to 499,000 kWh for electricity and up to 2,777,000 kWh for gas.

Why have one supplier for your multi-site business?

Predictable costs

When all your business sites are with one supplier, budgeting becomes far easier. Consistent pricing and aligned contract terms give you clearer visibility and more confident cost forecasting, allowing you to focus on your business growth.

One point of contact

No more juggling multiple suppliers or repeating conversations over and over, saving you time. With one supplier, you get one relationship with a specialist who truly understands your business needs.

Simplified renewals

Choosing the right tariff at your renewal is an important step. When all your sites sit with one supplier, you benefit from specialists existing understanding of your business needs, meaning you save time and cash when renewing your tariff.
