Business electricty

lostcount · 2018-01-09 18:17:25

Can someone please give me a pointer. I have recently purchased a shop with a flat above it. I am turning the shop into a coffee shop, and will live in the flat. They both have separate electricity meters. The flat a normal one and the shop is 3 phase. I am completely renovating the building so the shop will not be open…

Yes if you've bought a new business property then previous contract is no longer valid and you need to sort out new contracts.

Available capacity charges would imply the previous property had very high electricity use.

In the above case both supplies are set up separately so assuming the business property remains as a business property then there would be no need to change from business to domestic classification.

Indecision is the key to flexibility
