Too many businesses take a set-and-forget approach to energy. But when energy is left unchecked, the consequences can quickly add up.

A business might roll onto default rates without realising it, potentially resulting in bill shock of more than 50%.^ It might be operating on an inefficient network tariff, paying more than necessary for the way it uses energy. Or it could be missing practical opportunities to reduce consumption altogether.

Together, these issues represent a significant pool of untapped savings. At a time when rising costs are placing pressure on businesses everywhere, energy can be one of the most accessible places to look for money that can be put back on the bottom line.

 

Small business energy savings

For small businesses, reviewing energy can be surprisingly simple.

In one 10-minute phone call, Zembl can compare your current energy plan against competitive offers from our panel of leading energy retailers. If we find you a better offer and you choose to proceed, we can arrange the switch there and then – saving you the time and hassle of managing it yourself.

The comparison comes at no cost to your business, and there is no obligation to switch. But the potential reward is significant: in June 2026, 92% of the businesses Zembl spoke to achieved meaningful savings through an energy review.*

 

Commercial business energy savings and efficiency

For larger commercial energy users, the opportunities often extend well beyond securing a more competitive energy contract.

Zembl provides end-to-end energy management, helping businesses examine how, when and where they use energy – and identify opportunities to reduce both costs and consumption throughout the contract term.

This includes in-contract network tariff reviews, which assess whether a business is being charged on the most appropriate tariff for its usage profile. Between March and September 2025, these reviews saved Zembl customers an average of $4,379.†

Zembl can also help businesses pursue bigger energy-efficiency opportunities, including solar installations, power factor correction, LED lighting transformations and comprehensive energy audits. We work with carefully vetted suppliers, saving businesses the runaround of sourcing providers themselves while offering greater confidence in the solutions being recommended.
