Annual review checklist for energy contracts

Energy contracts are often worth reviewing every year. Use this routine to prevent unnecessary spend.

1. Start 45 days before renewal

Create a reminder early so you still have time to compare providers and terms.

2. Capture your current baseline

Record current monthly cost, yearly estimate and key contract conditions.

3. Compare at least 3 alternatives

Evaluate fixed vs variable rates and include all additional fees in your comparison.

4. Store the new decision trail

Save notes, selected offer and next review date so future decisions are faster.
