Cheap energy for farms
While it can be an easily overlooked area of responsibility for busy farmers, making sure the energy consumed on your farm is competitively priced and responsibly sourced can deliver long-term benefits for both the environment and your bottom line.
At Clear Utility Solutions, you’ll speak directly with real agricultural energy specialists who understand the day-to-day challenges facing UK farming businesses, including:
-
Rocketing fixed costs - many farmers have dormant supplies used only sporadically through the year or when weather dictates.
-
Volatile energy prices - the recent conflict in Iran has highlighted the agricultural sector's continued exposure to global events.
-
Limited access to Government support schemes - only the most energy intensive schemes currently receive support with little consideration to the businesses that feed the nation.
We compare the UK's top agricultural & farm energy suppliers to offer our customers the best energy prices.
Green energy supplier for farms
As farms look to reduce their carbon footprint and improve sustainability, choosing the right green energy supplier has become an increasingly important consideration. Fortunately, there are now a variety of renewable energy options available to agricultural businesses, allowing farms to lower emissions whilst maintaining control over energy costs.
Renewable electricity tariffs
Many green electricity tariffs are now available at little or no extra cost compared to traditional energy contracts. The highest standard of renewable supply is a REGO-backed tariff, providing independent verification that the electricity purchased is matched by renewable generation from sources such as wind, solar and hydro power.

On-site renewable energy
For farms looking to go further, on-site renewable technologies such as solar panels and wind turbines can help reduce energy costs, improve energy security and lower carbon emissions.
Some agricultural businesses may also benefit from biomass or anaerobic digestion systems that convert organic materials into usable energy.
Finding the right green energy supplier
Choosing the right green energy solution depends on your farm's energy requirements, sustainability goals and budget. We help farms compare renewable energy suppliers, source competitive green energy contracts and identify opportunities to reduce both costs and environmental impact.

Fixed Contracts Vs Flex Vs Passthrough
We help you choose the right purchasing strategy, from fixed-price contracts that provide budget certainty to flexible and pass-through arrangements that allow larger energy users to take advantage of market opportunities.
Energy procurement strategies
No two farms are the same. We develop procurement strategies that reflect your appetite for risk, energy usage and operational requirements. Whether securing fixed prices in advance, aligning contract end dates across multiple sites, or utilising basket purchasing schemes, we help farmers make informed energy decisions and access competitive rates through greater buying power.
Multi-meter portfolios
For farms with multiple meters across buildings, workshops, grain stores and residential properties, we provide a single point of contact to manage all energy contracts efficiently.
Capacity reviews
Many larger farms pay capacity charges based on the maximum kVA agreed with their network operator, but these values can often be set unnecessarily high at the outset and are not always reviewed as energy requirements change over time.
By analysing historical consumption and maximum demand data, we can identify sites where capacity has been set higher than necessary and arrange reductions where appropriate.
Contract renewable management
One of the most common reasons businesses overpay for energy is allowing contracts to expire onto expensive out of contract rates. We monitor renewal dates on behalf of our customers and provide market updates and renewal options at the appropriate time, helping to avoid unnecessary costs and last minute decisions.
Energy monitoring
Understanding how and when energy is used is often the first step towards reducing costs. We help customers analyse consumption patterns, identify unusual usage and uncover opportunities to improve efficiency. This can be particularly valuable for energy-intensive operations such as grain drying, refrigeration and dairy production.
Supplier comparisons
The energy market can be complex, with suppliers offering different contract structures, billing arrangements and customer service standards. We compare a wide range of suppliers to identify contracts that best meet the needs of each business, helping customers secure competitive pricing whilst avoiding unsuitable contract terms.
Cost forecasting
Accurate budgeting is essential for any business. We help customers forecast future energy costs based on consumption data, contract prices and market trends, allowing businesses to make better informed financial decisions and plan with greater confidence.
Every farm has unique energy requirements. Whether you operate a single site or manage multiple supplies across an agricultural estate, we provide tailored energy solutions designed to reduce costs, simplify contract management and improve budgeting certainty.

Agricultural electricity help & FAQs
What affects farm electricity prices?
Farm electricity prices are affected by wholesale energy costs, network charges, government schemes, meter type, contract length, credit checks, consumption profile and how close you are to your renewal date.
Can you support multi site farming businesses?
Yes. We can support farms with multiple meters, sites and supply types. This can include aligning contract end dates, reviewing consumption across the group and simplifying future renewals. Larger farms also benefit from having a dedicated in house account management team on hand to deal with day to day queries and supplier issues.
Can farms switch to renewable electricity?
Yes. Farms can switch to renewable electricity tariffs, including REGO backed contracts, which provide evidence that renewable electricity equivalent to your usage has been generated and certified.
What renewable energy options are available for farms?
Common options include solar PV, battery storage, wind, biomass, hydro where suitable and renewable electricity contracts. The best option depends on your site layout, energy usage, export potential and investment budget.
How long does switching farm electricity supplier take?
Thanks to Ofgem’s faster switching program, a straightforward switch usually takes two to five working days.
Switching times depend hugely on your current contract end date, and whether there are any objections or outstanding issues from your current supplier. If there are, we are on hand to take care of them for you.
What is the best energy supplier for farms?
Different farms require different things from their supplier, the right company depends on your consumption, meter type, contract length, credit position, seasonal demand and the type of contract you require. We compare suppliers across the market to find the most suitable contract for your farm.
Are green energy tariffs more expensive for farms?
Not always. Some renewable tariffs can carry a premium, but the cost difference depends on the supplier, contract structure and market conditions at the time. In many cases renewable tariffs can be competitively priced against standard energy contracts.
How can farms reduce electricity costs?
Farms can reduce electricity costs by always reviewing contract rates, avoiding out of contract tariffs, improving energy efficiency and taking advantage of our free capacity reviews. Where possible installing on site generation is can help to reduce long term energy costs.
How can farming businesses become more sustainable?
Most farmers by their nature are already running very sustainable businesses. Some operators may be able to increase sustainability by improving energy efficiency, installing renewable generation, reviewing heating and drying systems, improving monitoring, using renewable electricity contracts and adopting practical carbon reduction measures across day to day operations.
