When it comes to business energy contracts, most companies focus on unit rates and standing charges β but many overlook a crucial cost factor: kVA capacity.
π What is kVA?
kVA (kilovolt-amps) is a measure of the maximum amount of electrical capacity available to your site. It determines how much power your business can access at any one time. The higher your kVA, the more electricity your site can draw from the grid.
Think of it as the size of the pipe delivering your power β even if youβre not using the full flow, youβre often paying for the full size.
πΈ Why It Matters for Your Business
If your business is being charged for more kVA capacity than it actually uses, you could be overpaying β sometimes by thousands of pounds annually. On the flip side, underestimating your required kVA can lead to power outages or penalties for exceeding your limit.
β Benefits of a kVA Review
- Identify unnecessary charges and reduce wasted spend
- Ensure your site has the right power capacity for your operational needs
- Avoid penalties for exceeding agreed capacity
- Optimise future energy planning, especially for expanding businesses
