Plugging in to cheaper electricity: those business users who have chosen to switch suppliers have benefited hugely from the opening up of the 100KW market - a development which augurs well for the arrival of competition in the domestic market
Article Abstract:
The 12 Recs are in direct competition for the intermediate bank between 1MW and 100KW business. The lower 100KW limit is equivalent to an annual bill of around 12,000 pounds sterling. The only difference between contracts in this comodity bsiness, is price, and consumers have already seen reductions in their bills. London Electricity and Powerline, the subsidiary of Midland, have been actively marketing the sector, although Manweb is concentrating on defending its own regional business.

Article Abstract:
Some Peps are marketed as lifestyle plans with a specific purpose such as paying off a mortgage, paying for school fees or medical bills. However it may be better to define your own needs and choose your own plan rather than selecting a specific plan. Mortgage lenders are slow to emphasise the advantage of using a Pep to pay off a mortgage due to the complicated rules relating to Peps when they were first available.
