The problem

Energy costs are rising fast — and not for the reason you think.

Wholesale prices get all the attention. But a huge, rapidly growing share of every commercial electricity bill has nothing to do with your supplier at all — it's set by the operators of the grid itself, to fund network upgrades and the transition to net zero. Most businesses have never had this part of their bill reviewed. Most don't even know it exists as a separate charge.

The bill most businesses never see broken down

Two very different charges, bundled into one number.

~60% grid charges
Grid & Network Charges — roughly 60%

Set by the network operators, largely disconnected from your actual usage — and rising over 20% a year through 2030/31.

Energy (Commodity) — roughly 40%

Set by your supplier and contract — the part every business already negotiates.

Indicative split for a typical commercial site. Grid charges are frequently the larger of the two.

Switching suppliers won't fix this. Renegotiating your contract won't either. EMION can.

These charges are set nationally, by NESO and your regional network operator — not your energy supplier. That's exactly why they're so often missed: every switching site, comparison tool, and broker conversation focuses on the part of the bill that's easiest to shop around, while the faster-growing part goes completely unreviewed.

Built on real grid data, not guesswork

A modelling platform built specifically for this problem.

Our proprietary platform ingests your half-hourly consumption data and cross-references it against every applicable network tariff, band, and charge structure across the UK's Distribution Network Operators and National Energy System Operator — modelling every realistic permutation of your grid connection to identify exactly where, and by how much, you're overpaying. It's the kind of analysis that would take a specialist weeks to do by hand, if they even knew where to look.

Half-hourly data modelling

Granular consumption analysis, not estimates or averages.

Full national tariff coverage

Every DNO, every band, every charge type — modelled consistently.

Every permutation tested

We model every realistic reconfiguration to find the optimal setup.

Optimal capacity recommendation

Not just flagged as over-provisioned — the exact connection size to move to.

How it works

A free check. You only pay if we find savings.

01

We Check

We pull your granular usage data and run it through an initial capacity screening — confirming in minutes whether your site shows signs of overpaying on grid fees.

02

We Optimise

Our modelling platform analyses your half-hourly data against every applicable tariff — pinpointing exactly where you're overpaying.

03

We Handle It

If you're over-provisioned, we manage the entire capacity change directly with your network operator. If you've been incorrectly billed, we handle the recovery claim too.

£
04

You Save

You pay a share of the savings we deliver. Nothing upfront. Nothing if we don't find savings.

For certain commercial users, realistic savings can run into hundreds of thousands of pounds a year.

Worth a 10-minute conversation to find out if this applies to you.
