Energy suppliers are urged to reveal ‘hidden commissions’ on their energy bills

Following SSE’s price hike announcement, which is likely to be followed by similar bad news from the rest of the Big Six energy suppliers, industry experts are now asking for more transparency regarding the breakdown of energy costs, a media news report has revealed.

In fact, David Hunter, an Energy Expert at Schneider Electric, claims that “unknown levels of commissions” paid to energy brokers and price comparison sites could be contributing to a rise in energy bills.

For this reason, the expert, together with other voices in the industry, is challenging the energy industry to be transparent, especially at a time when rising bills are putting pressure on the cost of living.

Implementing an efficient Building Energy Management System is one of the most effective methods for companies, as well as home owners, to cut their overall energy bills.

Building Energy Management Systems are capable of delivering extensive monitoring and control options, compared to basic controls. They typically employ data from a variety of sources (boiler flow and return sensors, internal and external temperature sensors, occupancy sensors, humidity sensors, etc.), and enable the perfect optimization of a building’s boiler-based central heating system.
