Gas and Electricity Suppliers for Charities
Here at Neom Utilities, our mission is to ensure no one is overpaying for their gas and electricity.
We think it is particularly important to make sure that no charity or third-sector association pays too much for their Energy.
Many charities are treated like small businesses in their commercial dealings, and some may be unaware that they are eligible for discounts or special rates on their energy bills.
At Neom Utilities, we can help your charity find the best energy deals for your organisation and manage the switching process on your behalf to ensure you pay the right amount for the energy you use.
Reduce Your Charity’s Energy Bills
Many charity organisations are overpaying for the energy they use. It is estimated in the UK that 200,000 not-for-profit organisations are treated like small businesses rather than charities by their energy suppliers, and therefore pay full VAT for their energy when many are eligible to pay 5%.
By comparing Energy suppliers with Neom Utilities we can show you the cheapest tariffs available.
Some charitable and not-for-profit organisations, particularly churches, village halls and other community spaces, have limited administrative resources and may not realise that they are overpaying for the energy they use.
If it’s been a few years since you renegotiated your energy deal, you may have been moved to a rollover contract which can incur rates 80% higher than a negotiated deal.
With Neom Utilities, you can quickly compare the latest energy deals from suppliers including the big 6 and smaller independent energy providers.
When you switch with us, we will get in touch with you when your new contract ends to ensure you can remain on the right tariff and never overpay for your gas and electricity.

Energy-Saving Tips For Charities
The best way to start is to understand how much you spend on energy and who your energy supplier is.
Smart meters can get detailed information on your hourly or daily use. Otherwise, you can look at a recent bill.
You will most likely be on a single-rate meter if you run a charity between the hours of 8 am and 10 pm, Monday to Friday, as you will be on a standard flat rate for your electricity no matter what time of day it is. This means you will likely have a standard meter and not a smart meter. You can tell if you have a standard meter if the supply number on your bill starts with "03".
Once you understand how much you are currently paying, it is sometimes helpful to set a target for how much you want to save and identify areas where savings can be made.
Every non-profit is unique and may have complex energy needs, so you must understand what you have and what you are currently using to understand where efficiencies can be made.
Small Changes Can Make A Big Impact
If you run retail or catering spaces, most energy is used in lighting, heating and cooling.
Small changes can make a big impact on how much energy you use. For example, switching to energy-efficient lighting like LEDs, ensuring you have energy-efficient appliances and changing protocols.
This can include turning off electronic equipment and lighting at night, turning the heating down an hour before spaces close and ensuring properties are properly insulated.
In offices, electronic equipment like computers, printers and mobile devices use a lot of energy. Again, encouraging staff not to leave electronic devices on overnight and unplugging chargers and equipment when not in use can all make a big difference to your energy bills. These changes can also help to reduce the risk of electric fires.
By documenting the changes, there is an opportunity to demonstrate your green credentials and share with your supporters your commitment to efficiency and combatting climate change.
