About us

We're outstanding in our field

Black Sheep Utilities is an independent business energy and water broker based in Brighton. We've been trading since 2010. We compare supplier prices for your business, arrange your contracts and look after you between renewals, so you don't have to deal with the suppliers yourself.

What we do for you

  • We compare prices and arrange your contracts. For your business electricity, gas and water.
  • We check your bills. Every customer gets bill validation: we check your bills against your contract rates and your recorded usage, and take up any errors with the supplier.
  • We look after you between renewals. Renewal reminders and timetables, multi-site accounts, and a dedicated retentions team for existing customers.
  • We start your renewal early. Normally up to 12 months before your contract ends, so you have the choice of a forward price and time to wait for a better one.
  • We deal with suppliers when things go wrong. If you're stuck with a supplier, we sort it out for you.
  • We work with schools and academy trusts, as well as businesses of every size.

How we work

  • You see our commission. We tell you what we're paid, in full and in writing, before you sign a contract.
  • We only ask for the access we need. Our Letter of Authority covers your data and quotes only. We never use a "level 2" letter that would let us sign or agree a contract for you.
  • We're members of the Energy Consultants Association (ECA).
  • You have somewhere to go if you're unhappy. We're members of an alternative dispute resolution scheme with the Energy Ombudsman. See our complaints process.
  • We help shape the rules. We sit on the TPI (third-party intermediary) working group and meet Ofgem regularly. Ofgem doesn't currently license energy brokers.
