Moving into a new premise or upgrading your energy supply? You will definitely need a new gas and electricity connection. New premises, new plans and new business goals require the energy to power up! Let’s not forget the energy supply. It might sound hectic to sort out the business energy needs but getting in touch with a reliable energy supplier can make the process easy and stress-free.
What’s a “New Connection”?
A new connection is when your energy supplier links your property to the local energy network for the first time. Whether you have just switched a premise, taken over a commercial site, or are upgrading outdated meters, you will need to go through this process.
Your energy supplier handles it all. They can:
- Connect your property to the network
- Install new electricity or gas meters
- Upgrade your existing meters
And all new or upgraded electricity meters will be smart meters, if your site qualifies. That means easier readings, accurate billing, and more control over your energy use.
Smart meters send readings to your energy supplier directly and it not only saves you from estimated billings but also provides you with the understanding of your consumption patterns. It is beneficial for SMEs and commercial businesses as it can help you save on energy costs.

How Long Will It Take?
This depends on how complex the job is. A simple connection might be sorted quickly, but bigger or hard to reach sites may take longer. Your energy supplier will always give you a realistic timeframe and keep you updated throughout.
What Will It Cost?
Costs vary depending on how much work is involved. Once your energy supplier assesses your site and requirements, they will send you a detailed quote.
