HELP! New landlord supply needed - how can I choose where to get a meter / tariff?

My boss has just built 4 flats in one building and requires a new electric meter to be installed.
How can I do a price comparison for this building of new flats to know who to ask to install the meter?
The 4 flats will only have one electric meter which my boss (the landlord) will be paying....... Any help appreciated?

"Buy me, Lady", said the frock, "and I will make you into a BEAUTIFUL & WHOLE & COMPLETE human being".
"Do not be silly", said the Man, "for a frock alone cannot do that".
"True", said the Lady, "I will have the shoes and the bag as well".

4 flats, one meter. Sounds like a conversion on the cheap.No free lunch, and no free laptop

So, (conversely) potentially very bad news for the LL...No free lunch, and no free laptop0

Sorry - I guess what I'm asking is are there any 'best buys' for commercial tariffs? I can't do a comparison since they are a brand new block of 4 flats......
TIA

But good for the tenants as they don't need to worry about bills, switching, and can use as much as they need. (I used to live in a large mansion which was divided into 9 flats)
Actually, it's usually bad news.
Either the LL charges such an exhoribatant rent to cover any possible energy usage in the first place, or more usually the individual flats are supplied via individual private meters controlled by the LL.
Whilst the LL is not permitted to profit from this arrangement (but that doesn't mean many don't), the tenant has no choice of supplier or tariff, but ends up paying at least what is charged ... which is often quite expensive because (a) it is often a commercial agreement between supplier and LL and (b) the LL won't often care what the supplier charges as they just pass these costs onto their [STRIKE]prisioners[/STRIKE] tenants.0 -
Um, actually I'm asking because the landlord is paying for the electric himself and wants to keep the costs down as much as possible....."Buy me, Lady", said the frock, "and I will make you into a BEAUTIFUL & WHOLE & COMPLETE human being"."Do not be silly", said the Man, "for a frock alone cannot do that"."True", said the Lady, "I will have the shoes and the bag as well".:rotfl:0
