Business Energy Tariffs 

Each business is different, reflected in the energy tariff best suited to particular circumstances. Here are some of the most common business tariffs according to regulator Ofgem that you may want to consider: 

Fixed-rate energy tariff

You will agree on a unit rate with a fixed-rate tariff charged per kWh of energy used. This is locked in for the duration of your contract. However, this does not mean you will pay the same monthly amount. The more you use, the more you pay.

Variable rate energy tariff

The unit rate you pay will fluctuate in line with wholesale market activity. Opposite to fixed, a variable tariff means you may pay a different unit rate per kWh of energy used each month. 

Rollover tariff

Businesses are placed on a rollover contract automatically if a new contract has not been agreed upon before the current contract's end date. These rates are often more expensive than other tariff unit rates. 

Economy 7 energy tariff

An Economy 7 tariff offers multiple prices for different times of the day. This will usually be a peak rate during the day and a lower off-peak rate in the evening and at night. 

No standing charge business tariff 

On the surface, no standing charge tariffs look very attractive. Some businesses operating seasonally, or less frequently may benefit from this type of contract. Energy suppliers often compensate for no standing charge with higher rates. 

Renewable business energy 

This is great for businesses conscious of their carbon footprint and would like to source renewable energy to operate their business. Some energy suppliers have entered the market offering renewable energy as standard and are a popular choice.

How Business Energy Quotes Are Calculated

Understanding how the market operates can help you secure better business energy rates. The main indicator of a great time to switch is when wholesale energy prices dip. However, this isn't the only time that securing your energy bills is a good idea.

Many factors play into how business energy prices are calculated, and it isn't only based on the wholesale market. You could pay a cheaper business energy tariff if you have lower annual consumption, you're located in a certain area and different meter types can pay lower rates.

A business operating mostly in the evenings and weekends may benefit from Economy 7 & 10 meters - whilst larger companies may require a half-hourly meter if they have a peak load electricity usage of 100kW and above.

Before committing to a long-term business energy contract, it’s worth taking some time to evaluate how and when your business uses its energy.
