Ofgem supplier licence changes, what brokers must disclose now.

What's changed

Suppliers are now required to confirm the broker fee or uplift on every business energy contract written through a TPI. The TPI itself must disclose any commission, uplift, or fee taken on the contract.

In practice, this means you should now see a line on your quote showing exactly what the broker is being paid, whether as a flat fee, a unit-rate uplift, or both.

Questions to ask any broker

1. What is your fee or uplift on this contract?

2. Is the fee a flat amount, a unit-rate uplift, or both?

3. Will the uplift change if I extend the contract?

4. Are you signed up to the Ofgem-approved code of practice (e.g. Utilities Intermediaries Association)?

What we publish

Scottish Prime Energy publishes our fee on every quote, clearly and on the first screen. We're paid by the supplier, not the customer, and you'll see exactly what that amount is before you sign.
