SMEs have borne the brunt of the energy crisis. It is estimated that 295,000 SMEs closed in 2024 (Office for National Statistics, 2024). The UK energy market has become increasingly fragmented and volatile, leaving small and medium-sized enterprises struggling to manage escalating costs whilst navigating complex supplier relationships.
In 2023, UK energy suppliers like Centrica and EDF posted record profits, whilst over 30 supplier failures occurred between 2020-2025. The result? 44% of SMEs came close to shutting down operations due to inflation, high energy bills, and reduced margins (BM Magazine, 2024).
