DIY Electricity Tender Manual
This is a simple and straightforward manual for consumers wishing to take an optimal traditional electricity supply from a 3rd party retailer (but not from Community Electricity itself). The manual provides the key characteristics of the electrical load for presentation to a retailer, plus a user-friendly spreadsheet for comparing offers from different retailers. The manual enables the consumer to perform the tender entirely in-house without the need of external help and in accordance with the retailers' confidentiality requirements. The manual explains:
- How the electricity market works
- What happens when you change retailer
- How retailers make their money
- The various styles of tariff available, how they are constructed and how to decide which is best for your situation
- How to check you are on the correct regulated retail tariff (if applicable)
- How to check you are on the correct regulated network tariff
- An assessment of the cost of supply of the load and its forecast evolution over the next three years
- Contractual conditions to be aware of
- The characteristics of your specific load based on assessment of the available 30 minute interval data for at least a 12 month period
- How to ‘package’ your load as a request for proposal to the various retailers, including a template cover letter
- Contact details for all the potential retailers
- How to compare retailer offers using a spreadsheet that will be provided as part of the manual
- How to verify invoices from the new electricity supply agreement
