Are you currently managing a diverse portfolio of energy meters, each with varying suppliers and contract end dates? 🤔

At BP Consulting, we helped a major property management company streamline their energy management by bringing multiple gas and electric meters under one supplier, improving efficiency and control.

Here's what we did:

👉 Consolidated all meters under one supplier with aligned contract dates and competitive, consistent rates.
👉 Handled the full transition seamlessly, including terminations, VAT processing, and a mid-project contact change.
👉 Ensured long-term visibility through accurate billing, supplier portal setup, and clear portfolio reporting.

The outcome achieved was a unified contract, simplified long-term management, and clear visibility of their entire energy portfolio.

💥 Myth Buster: “Going Direct Is Cheaper”

Many businesses believe that cutting out the middleman and going straight to an energy supplier guarantees the lowest prices.

❌ In reality, that’s one of the biggest myths in the energy industry.

Here’s why:
🔹 Consultancies like BP Consulting negotiate with multiple suppliers on your behalf, using industry expertise to review pricing and drive more competitive rates.
🔹 Tariffs and contracts are complex. Without industry insight, businesses often end up on unsuitable rates or tied into uncompetitive terms.
🔹 Market timing matters. Energy consultants track market trends daily to secure contracts when prices dip — not just when renewal dates appear.

💬 Before you renew direct, ask yourself: Is it really cheaper — or just easier?

At BP Consulting, our independence and market expertise mean your business gets a tailored, strategic energy contract that saves both money and time. Call our team today on 0800 989 0141 for a non-obligatory chat about your energy options. 📞

MPAN, MPRN, MSN… what’s the difference and why is it so important? 💭

When it comes to submitting meter readings, it’s vital to know which number you’re using:

🔹 MPAN (Meter Point Administration Number) – Electricity supply point identifier.

🔹 MPRN (Meter Point Reference Number) – Gas supply point identifier.

🔹 MSN (Meter Serial Number) – The unique number on the physical meter itself.

Multiple meters can share the same MPAN or MPRN, but every MSN is unique to the individual device. That’s why using the right reference is key – it ensures your readings are logged correctly, avoiding billing errors and unnecessary headaches.

Double-checking before submitting saves time, money, and keeps your energy data accurate, especially for larger consumers with multiple meters. For more guidance you can utilise effectively, visit our blogs page https://bpconsulting.co.uk/blog/
