What to look for when comparing business energy prices
Choosing the right business energy deal can save you money and hassle. To make sure you get the best prices and rates, consider these key factors:
Fixed or variable rates
Decide if you want fixed or variable business energy rates per kWh. Fixed rates offer stability, while variable rates can change with market conditions.
The contract term
The typical fixed-rate energy tariff will last between 1 and 3 years. This is the period where you’ll receive energy at the agreed rate unless you move premises.
Standing charge
Commercial energy tariffs typically include a daily standing charge, a fixed fee you pay regardless of business energy consumption.
Payment method
Small business energy customers are often required to pay by direct debit each month. If you need a different payment arrangement, negotiate this upfront.
Energy fuel mix
Consider opting for renewable business energy tariffs that generate electricity from UK wind farms and solar facilities rather than from gas power stations.
Renewal
Know what happens at the end of your contract term. Typically, you’ll be rolled over to a new fixed tariff or a standard variable tariff unless you make other arrangements.
Business energy comparison by size
Energy costs often vary by business size, with larger companies benefiting from lower rates due to higher consumption.
Micro business electricity customers can still access competitive rates tailored to their unique needs, while large business energy users often secure even lower costs through bulk usage.
The table below simplifies these differences, showing typical annual energy use and average unit prices for gas and electricity by business size.
| Business size | Typical Annual Consumption (kWh) | Unit electricity rate p/kWh | Unit gas rate p/kWh |
|---|---|---|---|
| Small | 0,000 – 50,000 | 28.86 | 4.41 |
| Medium | 50,000 - 100,000 | 24.80 | 4.20 |
| Large | 100,000 + | 23.00 | 3.73 |

Key factors that influence business energy price comparison
At Business Energy Deals, we’re experts in helping businesses find the best fixed-rate deals on electricity and gas.
The energy rates available to your business depend on several key factors. Here’s a quick overview:
Supply type
Our experts can source quotes for both business electricity and gas, helping you find the most competitive rates available for your size and type of business.
Capacity
Half-hourly electricity meters incur more expensive standing and monthly demand charges to guarantee import capacity with the local distribution network operator.
Meter type
Energy rates can vary depending on the type of commercial gas or business electricity meter you have and the capacity of the connection
Location
Gas distribution costs and charges for electricity distribution (TNUoS and DUoS) depend on your business’s location and proximity to gas producers or electricity generators.
Credit score
Business energy suppliers manage credit risk carefully when onboarding new customers. They often adjust pricing based on credit scores or the SIC classification of your business.
Market volatility
The prices available in our business energy comparison service fluctuate daily. If you receive a business energy quote today, we recommend acting promptly, as rates can quickly expire.
