COMMERCIAL WATER RATES DUE TO INCREASE
IN APRIL 2022 Most businesses in England pay out- of-contract business water rates, which will increase in April 2022 due to the Covid-19 pandemic.
The water market was deregulated in 2017, allowing businesses to choose their water supplier. Running a business comes with many challenges, and understandably, thinking about changing water suppliers comes pretty low on the priorities list.
Ofwat, the water regulator, is allowing business water suppliers a temporary increase in out-of- contract water rates to protect the industry from the effects of covid increases in bad debt.
Most businesses remain with a default business water supplier paying out-of-contract rates.
When do business water rates increase?
Unlike energy, changes in business water rates occur only once a year. Every April, the default rates for water increase with inflation as the cost of maintaining and operating the local water network increases.
April 2022 is different; not only will businesses be hit with the usual inflationary increases, but they will also be charged more due to Ofwat’s decision to raise the price cap.
AquaSwitch provides the solution; we help businesses move away from default contracts and switch to a fixed-term water contract with alternative suppliers.
