This document discusses how energy broking works to reduce costs for consumers and suppliers. It explains that gas and electricity are commodities traded on markets and that suppliers purchase energy wholesale and sell it for a profit to consumers. An energy broker monitors these markets to secure energy contracts when prices are lowest, reducing supplier costs. As brokers bring in customers, suppliers face lower marketing and customer service expenses. The document claims that through broking, analyzing tariffs, and saving time, brokers can obtain better energy prices for consumers from suppliers while the broker's fees are paid by suppliers based on the energy contract.

How energy purchasing works

3. How is energy priced?
(4.2p and 11.5p respectively). Transport

charge the supplier for and is something
we have no control over. Wholesale cost
is the cost of energy itself and admin,
along with things such as marketing
costs, risk, billing, customer service etc.
These are the main components of your
energy price.
