About

Who is Yorkshire Gas and Power?

Founded in 2009, Yorkshire Gas and Power (often abbreviated as YGP) is a Leeds-based business energy supplier serving customers across England, Scotland and Wales. The company supplies gas alongside 100% renewable electricity as standard, with same-day pricing where possible — one of the fastest bespoke-quote turnarounds in the UK B2B energy market. Tariffs cover small businesses through to large corporations and multi-site customers.

Registered as Yorkshire Gas and Power Limited, Yorkshire Gas and Power uses this legal name for Ofgem licence filings, B2B contracts and any formal communications. The trading name customers see on invoices is the shorter, recognisable form.

The company is headquartered in Leeds, where it runs its commercial operations, account management and regulatory liaison with Ofgem.

Yorkshire Gas and Power was established in 2009. A longer track record means more years operating under Ofgem rules and a wider history of business-customer relationships.

Yorkshire Gas and Power operates independently,it is not part of a larger corporate group. Independent B2B suppliers often quote tighter margins than the Big Six but carry less wholesale-market scale.

The company is regulated by Ofgem, and complaints fall under the Energy Ombudsman alternative dispute resolution scheme,but only for microbusinesses with under 10 staff and under £2m turnover. Larger I&C customers must take complaints through commercial dispute resolution.

Review

Yorkshire Gas and Power,pros and cons

Yorkshire Gas and Power is a sensible option for UK businesses that want 100% renewable electricity from an independent, mid-size B2B supplier rather than a Big-Six brand. Its same-day bespoke pricing and breadth of product range cover small businesses through to multi-site corporates. The polarised review pattern (lots of 5-star, a meaningful tail of 1-star) suggests sales-broker channels are the weak link — engage with YGP directly or via a trusted intermediary, and read the contract carefully before signing.

Strengths

  • 100% renewable electricity as standard — zero CO2 and zero radioactive waste per kWh.
  • Same-day pricing on bespoke quotes, faster than many competitors.
  • Trustpilot rating of 3.9/5 with 65% "Excellent" customer reviews at the time of writing.
  • Wide product range covering fixed, flexible, pass-through and multi-site contracts.

Watch-outs

  • Around a third of Trustpilot reviews are "Bad" — recurring themes include inaccurate bills and broker mis-selling.
  • No standout self-service portal compared with more digital-first SME suppliers.
  • Phone support is Monday-Friday daytime only.

Renewables

Yorkshire Gas and Power green credentials

100% renewable electricity as standard for every business customer. YGP produces zero CO2 emissions and zero radioactive waste per kWh, against UK averages of around 208g CO2/kWh and 0.0013g radioactive waste/kWh.

Common questions

Yorkshire Gas and Power,frequently asked questions

Yorkshire Gas and Power is regulated by Ofgem under a non-domestic supply licence. Whether it suits your business depends on your annual consumption, contract term and whether you need extra services (HHM, green certification, smart-meter rollout). Always compare delivered p/kWh including VAT and CCL before signing.

Switching takes between three weeks and two months for a business contract, longer than the domestic five-working-day rule. Yorkshire Gas and Power will run a credit check, request your annual consumption and a recent meter reading, and arrange the transfer with your current supplier. Supply is never interrupted during the switch.

Fixed-price tariffs from 12 to 36 months; flexible and pass-through products with variable unit rates and non-commodity charges; multi-site contracts. Out-of-contract rates apply automatically at contract end.

Most UK fixed-term business contracts include termination fees if you switch mid-contract. The supplier must accept your renewal notice in the final 30 to 60 days before the contract end-date (the renewal window varies by supplier and is set out in the original contract). Outside that window you are tied in unless you pay the exit charge.

You can reach Yorkshire Gas and Power on 0113 856 0056, Mon-Fri: 9am-5pm. For a full breakdown of phone lines (sales, emergency, complaints, meter readings, account moves), see the Yorkshire Gas and Power contact page.
