Bill Explainer

There are a few changes to your Next Business Energy’s electricity invoice which will take place from 1 October 2023. These changes are being implemented to simplify key information and make it easier to understand how much your current payment is and when to pay.

Other key updates, such as your plan information, energy usage and other important information have also been redesigned to make everything easier to understand. Rest assured, the process of how you pay your bills has not changed, so whether you pay online, via direct debit or any other method, you won’t need to change anything.
