PLAN-B NET ZERO ENERGY Provides Guidance on Reducing Business Electricity Costs
PLAN-B NET ZERO ENERGY offers advice to small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in Germany on lowering their electricity expenses. Key strategies involve reducing consumption, avoiding peak loads, and selecting a fixed-price tariff.
German energy firm PLAN-B NET ZERO ENERGY has issued guidance for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) on how to reduce their electricity costs. The company states that the most effective approach to lowering energy bills involves a combination of three strategies: reducing consumption, avoiding peak loads, and opting for a transparent, fixed-price electricity contract.
In Germany, business electricity prices are composed of procurement costs, grid fees, and taxes and levies. For larger commercial connections, grid fees can also include components dependent on peak load, meaning that the evenness of consumption, not just total usage, impacts costs. The advice highlights that establishing energy transparency through monitoring, modernizing to LED lighting, and utilizing efficient motors can yield significant savings.
PLAN-B NET ZERO ENERGY recommends a fixed-price tariff to protect businesses from short-term market fluctuations and enhance budget predictability. The company notes that many SMEs remain on their local network provider's standard supply, often paying more than businesses with actively negotiated supply contracts.
The firm offers ok-power-plus certified electricity tariffs, guaranteeing 100% renewable energy and fair contract terms without advance payments or minimum purchase quantities. This type of contract can also assist companies in meeting sustainability reporting requirements and reducing their Scope 2 emissions without additional expense compared to conventional tariffs.
