Who are YGP?

Founded in 2009, Yorkshire Gas and Power - sometimes abbreviated as YGP - is a business gas and electricity provider with operations in England, Scotland and Wales. According to the supplier itself, it aims to stand out from the market and pose a serious challenge to larger business energy suppliers by transforming customer expectations.

Yorkshire Gas and Power Reviews

Yorkshire Gas and Power had over 300 reviews on consumer rating site Trustpilot at the time of writing, with a rating of 3.9 out of a possible 5 stars. The majority of Yorkshire Gas and Power reviews on the site appear to be positive at first glance, with 65% rating the supplier as ‘Excellent’ and a further 2% rating it as ‘Good’.

We discovered the following as the most common sources of customer satisfaction from a sample of positive reviews:

  • Customer service
  • Ease of switchover
  • Complaint resolutions

What a difference it makes to be with a company that actually cares.  I have had no problems with YGP, each time I have questions to ask it is no bother to them, and the person I speak to has always been able to answer my questions.

Tara, Yorkshire Gas and Power customer, Trustpilot

In contrast, almost a third of the Yorkshire Gas and Power reviews on Trustpilot were negative, with 32% of customers rating the supplier as ‘Bad’, the lowest possible rating on the site. The following were the most common sources of discontent:

  • Inaccurate bills
  • Misselling through rogue energy brokers

Please don't sign up with this company they are a total con. Promise great deals then all you get is bills that seem to be just random numbers, they never check your usage and are notorious for overcharging.

Yorkshire Gas and Power Tariffs and Products

Yorkshire Gas and Power provides a variety of tariffs and products for small businesses to large corporations and everything in between.

YGP offers same-day pricing where possible, something it claims makes it one of the business energy industry’s fastest providers of bespoke quotes. 

Customers who are considered a medium to high credit risk by other business energy suppliers can benefit from Yorkshire Gas and Power's flexible credit policy, which allows the supplier to offer contracts without the need for a security deposit.

Yorkshire Gas and Power Fixed Tariffs

YGP’s fixed price tariffs lock in the unit rate for an agreed period from 12 to 36 months. This means you're protected from wholesale energy price increases, allowing you to budget for your business energy costs more accurately each month.

Flexible and Pass-Through Products

For businesses that have more leeway to take risks, Yorkshire Gas and Power’s flexible and pass-through products charge variable energy rates and other non-commodity charges that can vary depending on changes in the market

With a variable business energy plan, your company can take advantage when wholesale energy costs are lower. However, because this price can fluctuate, it's important to keep an eye on the wholesale market to see if you could save money by switching if your current supplier raises its prices.

Multi-site Contracts

Under its multi-site plans, Yorkshire Gas and Power can supply energy to all of your different business locations under the same contract with a variety of flexible billing options.

Yorkshire Gas and Power Out of Contract Rates

Customers are automatically placed on out-of-contract gas and electricity rates once their Yorkshire Gas and Power business contract expires and no new agreement or alternative energy supplier has been arranged.

Out of contract rates are usually much more expensive than any other flexible or fixed plan, so if you find yourself in this situation, you should try to set up a new contract with Yorkshire Gas and Power or switch suppliers as soon as possible.

YGP Fuel Mix: 100% Renewable Electricity

Every UK energy provider is required to publicly disclose their fuel mix and how their electricity is generated. This is done so that you can make an informed decision about where your business energy comes from and how it will affect your company's carbon footprint.

Yorkshire Gas and Power has pledged to provide its business customers with 100% clean, renewable electricity as part of its goal to be the leading small business renewable energy supplier in the country.

*Relates to electricity supplied in the period 1 April 2020 to 31 March 2021.
UK Average = Coal 3.9%, Natural Gas: 39.4%, Nuclear: 16.6%, Renewable: 37.9%, Other 2.2%.

As a result of its clean electricity mix, YGP produces no radioactive waste or CO2. This is in contrast to average CO2 emissions of 208g per kWh across all UK suppliers, with radioactive waste averaging 0.0013g per kWh.
