What Information is Required to Receive Energy Supply Quotes?
When requesting energy supply quotes, it is essential to provide specific details to ensure accurate and tailored pricing. Below is a comprehensive guide to the information you need to prepare. Please note at present we cannot provide quotes for domestic energy supply.
Required Information
Type of Service: Specify whether you need quotes for electricity, gas, or both.
Service Address: Provide the full address of the property requiring energy supply, including the postcode.
MPAN and/or MPRN Numbers: These are unique identifiers for your electricity (MPAN) and gas (MPRN) supply points. They can typically be found on your energy bill or by contacting your current supplier.
Preferred Supply Start Date: Indicate the date you would like the energy supply to commence.
Preferred Contract Length: Specify the duration of the contract you are seeking (e.g., 12 months, 24 months).
Estimated Annual Usage: Provide an estimate of your annual energy consumption. This information can often be found on previous energy bills or obtained from your current supplier. If this information is not readily available, consider requesting it directly from the customer along with their MPAN/MPRN details.
Bank Account Details: Include the name of the account holder (as it appears on the account), the account number, and the sort code. These details are necessary for setting up payment arrangements.
Explanation of Terms
MPAN (Meter Point Administration Number): A unique 21-digit number used to identify electricity supply points in the UK.
MPRN (Meter Point Reference Number): A unique number used to identify gas supply points in the UK.- MPAN and MPRN are critical for energy supply management, as they enable accurate tracking of energy usage and facilitate efficient contract handling.
Additional Notes
Ensure all information provided is accurate to avoid delays in receiving quotes.
If you are unsure about your MPAN or MPRN numbers, contact your current energy supplier for assistance.
Providing estimated annual usage helps suppliers offer more precise quotes tailored to your energy needs.- Site supply MPANs, such as those for public street lighting or temporary power, are generally not eligible for standard quotes. Alternative options may need to be explored for these cases.
If portal access is unavailable, usage details can be obtained directly from the customer by requesting their unique identifiers (MPAN/MPRN) and recent consumption data.
By preparing this information in advance, you can streamline the process of obtaining energy supply quotes and ensure a smooth transition to your new energy contract.
