British Gas Business Energy
British Gas has been supplying businesses with their energy for many years. However, in 2018 British Gas Lite was created to deal with the rising demand of supplying small businesses with their energy at a competitive price.
British Gas Lite is under the same ‘umbrella’ as British Gas but operates as a separate company serving small businesses with online-only smart meter energy management. Larger consumption businesses using over 150,000 kWh per year would still use British Gas for their supply.
