🌍What Is Water Self Supply And How Could It Benefit My Business Or Organisation?
In recent years, the Scottish water market became deregulated, so business customers can switch water supplier in order to get a better deal on their water bills. Now the water industry in England is also deregulated, allowing businesses more choice in suppliers and better deals.
What you may not know is that more savings can be made by buying water-supply services direct from the wholesale water market.
Called ‘water self-supply’, it cuts out the water retailer’s margin.
The scheme is open to all business customers and could potentially reduce your water and waste-water charges considerably!
💧So how does it work?
Well, to self-supply your water retail services you’ll need a licence. This enables you to buy at a ‘protected’ wholesale price, which all water retailers pay. While you’ll no longer receive water retail services such as ‘billing’ or ‘customer-service’, you will be able to:
- Receive your water supply and waste-water removal services from the water-company in your region at wholesale prices
- Supply water services to your own premises and across multiple sites
- Provide retail services yourself, or contract to a third party
💧Licensees limited to self-supply in the market will:
- Continue to receive water and wastewater supplies from the water company in the geographical region(s)
- Provide their own retail services to their business rather than paying a retailer to provide these services.
A licensee limited to self-supply (“self-supplier”) can only supply its own premises and the premises of people or companies associated with it. Licensees limited to self-supply are not able to supply retail services to premises of third parties, such as supplying other business customers unrelated to its own business.
A WSSL limited to self-supply can only be granted to supply premises supplied or served using the supply or sewerage system of an appointed company whose area of appointment is wholly or mainly in England. A WSSL limited to self-supply is not available to provide services to premises supplied using the supply system of an appointed company whose area of appointment is wholly or mainly in Wales.
