Valda Green Performance

Rated Excellent on Trustpilot
Valda is rated Excellent on Trustpilot, with thousands of customer reviews backing up their commitment to reliable service and support.
Free smart meter installation
Every SmartChoice customer gets free smart meter installation, giving you accurate, half-hourly usage data instead of estimated readings. That means fewer billing surprises and better information to manage your energy spend.
SmartChoice is Valda's core fixed commodity product, giving businesses real-time energy insights, digital account tools and flexible payment options.
SmartChoice Zero removes the separate standing charge from both electricity and gas, so you only pay for what you use. It suits businesses with fluctuating or seasonal demand.
New Connections offers meter installation in as little as 30 working days, for premises without an existing supply.
Unmetered Supply covers locations where a meter isn't practical, such as street lighting or traffic signals. Valda handles all the logistics.
Multi-Site supports businesses with 6 or more meters under a single account, with flexible management for more complex setups.
Valda Renewable is coming soon: a 100% renewable energy option sourced from wind, solar and other green technologies.
Whilst each business is different and prices depend on current wholesale prices, location, consumption and other factors, here's an idea of what Valda offer and charge. These prices are for a business using 25,000 kWh of electricity and gas each year. No two businesses use the same amount of energy, so the prices you see when you compare will be tailored to yours. Prices also change daily.
