Energy, water and waste for farms and estates
Poultry and pig units run fans, heat and light day and night, dairies cool milk twice a day and grain stores peak at harvest, so one estate can have many meters on many contracts. We put every meter on one register and buy them together.
- Every meter on the holding, sheds to cottages
- New sheds, permits and solar checked against the contract
- Water for livestock and irrigation compared too
What we check
Every meter on the holding
Sheds, dryers, pumps, workshops and cottages, and which of them are business supplies and which are domestic.
Seasonal and continuous loads
We compare rates on your real pattern: continuous for livestock units, harvest peaks for arable.
Capacity and meter setup
Larger supplies such as poultry units and grain stores often carry capacity charges set for equipment that has since changed.
Climate Change Levy
Domestic use such as farm cottages on the same supply should not carry the levy. Some sectors can cut it further through a Climate Change Agreement, so it is worth checking whether yours is one.
Water
Livestock and irrigation use a lot of water. In England and Scotland a farm business can choose its water retailer.
Waste
Farm plastics, packaging and general waste, compared on the collections you actually need.
An estate or several holdings?
We list every meter across every holding, find each end date and move the contracts onto one date as they expire, so the estate can be bought as one portfolio. When you add sheds, take on a permit or install solar, we check the contract still fits.
How we are paid
At Business Savings Guru, we believe customers should understand how their energy broker is paid. Our commission is clearly disclosed on the energy contract you sign, so you know how BSG is remunerated before you commit. How broker fees work
Questions we are asked
We have six meters on different contracts. Can you put them together?
Do you work with farms that have solar panels?
