How Yorkshire Gas and Power business contracts work for UK SMEs, who they suit, and how to compare against the wider market.
Who Yorkshire Gas and Power suits
Yorkshire Gas and Power is an independent business supplier with a UK-based service operation, which tends to appeal to owners who have had a poor experience getting billing issues resolved elsewhere. They are often competitive on gas as well as electricity, which is worth knowing if you run a kitchen or a site with a significant heating load.
Contract mechanics worth knowing
- Worth quoting for both fuels if you are a significant gas user — restaurants, takeaways and care homes in particular.
- Flexible contract lengths mean you can align your gas and electricity end dates, which makes future renewals far easier to manage.
- As always, benchmark the renewal rather than accepting it. A supplier you are happy with should still have to win the contract again.

Yorkshire Gas and Power: frequently asked questions
Can I switch away from Yorkshire Gas and Power before my contract ends?+
You can normally agree a new contract up to six months before your current one ends without paying an early termination charge, with the new supply starting on your existing end date. Leaving mid-term usually does trigger a charge. The date that matters is your contract end date, not your renewal letter date.
What happens if my Yorkshire Gas and Power contract ends and I do nothing?+
You roll onto deemed or out-of-contract rates, which commonly run 33–45p per kWh for electricity against 23–30p on a negotiated fixed contract. It is the most expensive way to buy business energy and the single most common avoidable cost we see.
Does using a broker cost more than going to Yorkshire Gas and Power direct?+
Our fee is commission paid by the supplier, built into the rate, and we are never paid by you. Suppliers frequently offer brokers rates that are not available directly, because brokers bring them volume — which is why a broker-sourced contract is often cheaper than the direct renewal offer, not more expensive.
