Your account number is 8 digits starting with ‘DY’. You can find your account number on your bills or on correspondence that we send you. Online you will find it in Your Energy Online.

Our advance saver tariff is designed to offer the lowest possible rate available to your business for gas and electricity, it helps us smooth the ups and downs of supplying businesses and compensates for periods of estimated usage. We take a payment on or around your contract start to the value of one month’s energy usage. This money will be held until you switch away and will not count towards your energy bill.
Every year we report our smart meter target with the industry. Dyce Energy has a smart meter target of:
0 for 2022
0 for 2023
0 for 2024
It’s not as easy as you would think, but we’ve tried to make it as simple as possible below. You can also see this on your bill.
Gas:
1. We take your previous meter reading away from your current read to give the units used. If you don’t provide a meter read, we will estimate your reading for you.
2. We multiply the number of units by 2.83 to get the m3 (not required if you have a Metric Meter).
3. We multiply this figure by the current Volume Correction Factor and the monthly average Calorific Value (both shown on your current bill).
4. We divide this figure by 3.6 to give the number of kWh you have used.
5. We then multiply your kWh used by the price per kWh shown in this bill to give your gas charge.
6. Finally we take the number of days within the bill period and multiply this by your standing charge to give your standing charge cost.
Your bill is your gas charge + standing charge + CCL + VAT (if applicable)
Electricity:
1. We take your previous meter reading away from your current read to give the units used. If you don’t provide a meter read, we will estimate your reading for you.
Your bill is your electricity charge + standing charge + CCL + VAT (if applicable)
Yes, it’s easy, just log into Your Energy Online and submit an enquiry or email us at enquire@dyce-energy.co.uk.
Remember to provide us with your name, supply address and your Dyce Account Number; then tell us the address you would like your correspondence and bills sending to. We will let you know when we have set this up for you.
We send your bill monthly to Your Energy Online, we also send you an email to notify you that your bill is ready.
Typically, your bill will be with you in the first week of each month between 1st – 6th of the month. The bill will cover the previous month’s energy usage. In some cases, it can include usage for part of the month prior depending on when you started your contract and when we received your opening read.
Payment terms are 10 days from the date of the invoice. You can expect to pay your bill on or around 10th – 16th every month.
Yes, although we’d prefer not to due to our partnership with the Woodland Trust and our company preference to work online and save the planet.
That said we know it’s not always possible to get access to the internet. We charge £2 for every posted bill. If you don’t tell us we will always email your bill, so please Contact Us and let us know or send an enquiry via Your Energy Online.
Remember to provide us with your name, supply address and your Dyce Account Number. We will let you know when we have set this up for you.
We like to keep things simple, so that you only pay for the energy that you use. Our preferred payment method is variable Direct Debit. With Direct Debit you don’t have to worry if your bill is paid each month, we’ll just collect it from your nominated bank account 10 days after you receive your bill.
It is possible that a meter exchange has taken place and the National Grid has not been updated with the new details. Please check if there is a yellow sticker on your meter, as this will have details of the exchange. Please Contact Us and we will be happy to check this for you.
If there is no yellow sticker and the meter has not been exchanged, we may have taken the supply incorrectly, so it is important that you contact us as soon as possible.
You can make estimated bills a thing of the past by giving us your meter reading before the last day of the month.
Visit our meter reading page to learn how to submit your monthly read via our app, online, by email or by phone.
Once we receive a meter reading from you, your account will be updated the following month and your bill should represent your true account balance. By submitting reads monthly, the majority of your energy bill will be based on actual usage. We may need to estimate the reaming 1-2 days, but this will be updated the next time you submit a reading.
This could be a problem with your ‘change of supply’ reading from the industry. Please send us your up to date meter reading and any other historic readings. A photo of your meter would help us in case we need to contact your previous supplier. A quick photo from your smart phone or tablet should be fine.
We will then contact your previous supplier and agree a new ‘change of supply reading’ based on your readings. As we rely on your previous supplier responding to us we cannot give exact timescales as to when this will be resolved; however, we will do our best to complete it as quickly as possible for you.
Email your correct reading and if possible a photo of the meter to meter-read@dyce-energy.co.uk.
We may not know that you are not using gas, which means we will be estimating your usage and sending you bills.
Please Contact Us with your current meter reading or visit Your Energy Online to submit your monthly reading via our app or online.
If the meter will not be consuming for a while it might be worth a chat as we have options for you. If you are not using gas for some time, then we will only bill you for the appropriate fixed charges (standing charges). Download our Non-Consuming Meter Form. Please return this to billing@dyce-energy.co.uk.
Fixed charges are passed on to you through us from the National Grid and will apply if you have a gas meter and have the facility to use gas. If you do not intend to use gas at your premises for the foreseeable future, please contact us to arrange a quote for removal of your meter and the termination of your supply. Once your meter is removed you will no longer be liable for any fixed charges.
Don’t worry, it’s normal for us to reconcile your bill when you submit a meter reading. We check that we have estimated you the correct amount of energy, we then check that we have collected the correct amount of VAT and we either add credits or debits to your account for over paid or under paid usage, or we simply cancel previous bills and re-issue the bill for that period based on your accurate usage.
If you don’t submit meter readings we won’t be able to carry out this exercise. It’s important that your account stays up to date, we don’t want to charge you for energy that you aren’t using.
You should receive a bill the month after your contract goes live with Dyce Energy and thereafter every month. However, in some cases we don’t receive an opening meter read from you and we have to wait for your transfer reading from your previous supplier. This can delay your first bill into the following month. It usually takes 15 days from your live date to receive your transfer reading, depending on when this falls we may not be able to bill you until the next following month.
If you haven’t received a bill 3 months after your start date or if you haven’t received a bill but you’ve had them previously from Dyce Energy, then there could be a problem so please Contact Us.
No problem, we try our best to have the slickest software and CRM systems but from time to time things go wrong. If it’s a wrong address, wrong spelling or a wrong MPRN for example just log into Your Energy Online and send us a quick enquiry. If you’re not already registered to Your Energy Online, then Contact Us and we’ll help you get set up.
As soon as we receive your query we’ll come back to you as quick as possible with an update.
The due date on your bill should state clearly when you need to settle your balance. Most of our BACS customers pay in advance of this date to clear the balance early and avoid us contacting you after the due date.
Our bank details are on your latest bill to enable you to set up payment. If you are having trouble making payment, please Contact Us.
We will be happy to review your payment plan with you based on your current circumstances and gas usage. Let’s talk! Please Contact Us today.
Don’t worry we will try to take the payment again a week later. If you do experience any problems with your Direct Debit, then please Contact Us as we would be happy to help.
We can update your details over the phone, or if you prefer you can Download our Direct Debit Mandate form and return it to us at enquire@dyce-energy.co.uk.
Please make sure that you supply us with your Dyce Energy Account Number, your supply site address and your contact information when sending your completed form.
Your Direct Debit will be collected on or around 10 days after your bill date. We add a due date on your invoice and, should this fall on a week day, that’s when the money will leave your account.
If you are paying via BACS and want to transfer to Direct Debit it’s a simple process. Either Contact Us or Download our Direct Debit Mandate Form online, complete and return to enquire@dyce-energy.co.uk.
Please make sure that you supply us with your Dyce Energy Account Number, your supply site address and your contact information when sending your completed form.
In the future if there is a change to the date, amount or frequency of your Direct Debit, Dyce Energy will always give you 3 working days’ notice in advance of your account being debited. In the event of an error, you are entitled to an immediate refund from your bank or building society. You have the right to cancel at any time and this guarantee is offered by all the banks and building societies that accept instructions to pay Direct Debits.
We hope you don’t leave, but if you choose to switch to another supplier, we will return your advance payment on or around the point that all your final invoices are settled.

Most business energy meters are located inside the building, often they are in cupboards or have been boxed away for safety.
Your gas meter should look like the one below:
Your electric meter should look like the one below:
Visit our Meter Readings page to learn how to read your energy meter.
It’s good practice to read your energy meter once per month. We require an opening energy meter reading and a final reading should you decide to leave our supply. Visit our Meter Readings page for more information on how and when to read your meter.
From time to time we have our agents read your meter to ensure that your account is kept up to date. Our agents come with full Identification and a letter of authority. They have been DBS checked and have the appropriate skills and training to read your energy meter.
If you have any doubt, please do not let them into your building and Contact Us.
A Smart Meter or Automatic Meter Read meter is one which can communicate usage information to your energy supplier. This allows us to understand how much energy your meter is consuming without the need for a meter reading.
Some existing meters can be upgraded to AMR, but older meters may need replacing. It’s a good idea to upgrade your energy meter to save time submitting meter readings. However, there is a cost to installing, upgrading and running an AMR meter.
Dyce Energy will offer an AMR tariff soon, so keep in touch.
Yes. Meter removal comes at an additional cost to you. Whether it is a meter that isn’t consuming energy, or a meter that we have to remove due to non-payment of bills. The cost to remove energy meters is not fixed and you will need to Contact Us to get a price for removal.
Our energy connections team would love to help! For further information on how to install a new meter and receive a no obligation quotation, please see Contact Us.
Please Contact Us as soon as possible to discuss.

Most businesses pay 20% VAT on their invoices. However, this can change based in the amount of energy used in the building. The de-minims ruling from the Government means that we reduce the amount of VAT charged if you use less than 4,397kWh of gas in a month or less than 145kWh per day. For electricity we reduce the amount of VAT charged if you use less than 1,000kWh of electric in a month or less than 33kWh per day
The reduced rate VAT is 5% and this will show on your bill based on your usage.
If you are a charity, or if part of your building is used for domestic use, then you can apply for a reduced rate VAT also. You must check that you are eligible via the Government websites and if you can confirm then simply Download our VAT Declaration Form, complete and return.
The VAT rate for charities and domestic areas of your building is 5%.
Most businesses pay the standard government rate for CCL. This changes annually, and we will update our systems in accordance with Government changes. For example, if your bill shows a CCL rate of 0.203p per kWh, this will be because this is the current Government charge.
Like VAT however this can change based on the amount of energy used in the building. The de-minims ruling from the Government means that we reduce the amount of CCL charged if you use less than 4,397kWh of gas in a month or less than 145kWh per day or for electricity we reduce the amount less than 1,000kWh of electric in a month or less than 33kWh per day
The de-minimis reduced rate CCL is 0 and this will show on your bill based on your usage.
If you are a charity, or if part of your building is used for domestic use, then you can apply for a reduced rate CCL. You must check that you are eligible via the Government websites and if you can confirm then simply Download our VAT Declaration Form, complete and return.
The CCL rate for charities and domestic areas of your building is 0.
Large energy users may also qualify for the Governments Climate Change Agreement (CCA), which is a voluntary agreement made by UK industry and the Environment Agency to reduce energy use and carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions. In return, businesses can receive a discount on the Climate Change Levy tax.
CCA’s are typically for energy intensive industries. We therefore suggestion that you visit www.gov.uk and check your eligibility. You’ll also find the reduced rate CCL levels on their website.
First, we recommend that you visit the Government website www.gov.uk and check your eligibility. If you hold a CCA agreement, then we would be happy to talk to you about how we can reduce your CCL rate. Contact Us today.
The advance payment is a non-energy charge and fully refundable at the end of your contract, so it is always charged at 20%
This will not affect your VAT on energy usage, which will be charged at the appropriate rate.

Please Contact Us with a copy of:
a new tenancy agreement or
a solicitor’s documents
The landlords contact details (if applicable)
We will also require:
An opening meter reading from your meter
the date you moved into the property

If you are leaving a property and will no longer be responsible for the energy supply to the building, we require 28 days’ notice before you move out of the building supplied by Dyce Energy.
We will process your request with 28 days once we received from you our Change of Tenancy Form completed with written proof of the new owner or tenant taking over the site in the form of:
If your landlord is picking up responsibility for the energy contract in the building, then we will need them to contact us and confirm in writing they are happy to take ownership of the energy supply to the building.
If you fail to supply us with the above documents, we will continue to bill you and you will be responsible for all charges, even if you move out of the building.
It is important that on the day of leaving the property you provide us with:
If you are moving to a new premise we would love to pick up where we left off. Get a Quote now for your new location or Contact Us to today to get a price.
We aim to update our records within one week of your 28th day notice period. Once the change of tenancy is completed you will receive your final bill on our next monthly bill run. If you leave your contact details with us we will always contact you if we have any problems.
We do not generally accept sublets, as we can only bill the person legally responsible for a property. However, we can accept a sublet if you hold a long-term lease from the freeholder. By long-term lease we mean one that is for 25 years or more.
We would require a copy of the leasehold agreement. If there is no long-term leasehold agreement we would require you to provide written permission from the freeholder confirming you have permission to sublet the property.

Sometimes there may be a ‘cross-over’ period between letters being issued and payments being received.
If you call our Credit Control team on 01709 357315 we will be happy to check that your payment has reached us and has been allocated to your account.
There could be several reasons why the transfer didn’t happen. Usually we have applied but the transfer has been rejected by your current supplier. Whilst we hope to resolve all objections before the expected go live date, sometimes it’s not possible. In all cases we advise you to contact your current supplier to investigate why the meter is not transferring to Dyce Energy.
Once you have resolved the issue with your current supplier we can re-apply for a transfer which may take up to 14 days.
You may have agreed your contract verbally over the telephone or in writing with us or via one of our Partners. If you wish to request a copy of your contract or if you have any questions, then we will be more than happy to look in to this for you. Contact us.
If you wanted your contract to start with Dyce Energy as soon as possible then it will take at least 14 calendar days to transfer your gas supply from your current supplier. In some cases, this may take longer. Delays can be due to your current supplier raising an objection.
If your contract has a specified start date in the future, we will aim to get your energy supply transferred to us on that date.
We offer fixed contracts for gas and electricity on 12, 24 or 36 months terms. Subject to qualifying criteria we offer smart meters and green energy. We also offer an Advance Saver tariff, which is our most cost effective tariff.
You are required to give us 30 days’ notice prior to your contract end date. You can find your contract end date on a copy of your bill.
We will write to you at least 60 days prior to your contract end date, the letter reminds you of the date you need to send your termination notice by.
It also tells you that if for whatever reason you decide not to submit a termination notice to us, we will enter you onto our standard variable contract rates.
Whilst these may not be the most competitive rates in the market they are flexible as you can leave at any time with 30 days’ notice.
If you get in touch then we would be happy to arrange a new fixed term tariff, which could save you money on our standard variable rates.
You can terminate your contract at any time, but you will not be allowed to leave your fixed term contract until your contract end date. If you are on a standard variable tariff, then we require 30 days’ notice.
Of course! Typically, we wouldn’t offer a renewal price until 6 months prior to your current contract end but get in touch and let’s see if we can get you a competitive fixed term tariff for your business.
This is the date that your fixed term tariff comes to an end with Dyce Energy. You can find this date on a copy of your latest bill or you can Contact Us and we would be happy to provide this information.
If you are not calling directly from the business, we will require a Letter of Authority from the customer giving you permission to access this information.
Great news! You can Get a Quote online now. If you need any help, please Contact Us and we would be happy to give you a competitive quote for your business.

Yes, our Partners are a trusted extension of our business. They know how to terminate contracts with existing suppliers and how to set up new ones. However, if you’re not sure, we always advise that you contact your supplier yourself to double check it has been done. In this case you can be guaranteed that termination and set up of supply is arranged.
