The business gas prices presented above are weekly averages. The prices available through our business gas comparison service depend on the following specific factors:
Business gas suppliers purchase natural gas from producers and European and LNG importers. The most important determinant of gas quotes is the prices that suppliers can secure when purchasing gas to supply your business.
Typical business gas quotes are fixed between one and three years. Suppliers usually offer a discount for longer contracts to reward loyalty; however, this also depends on the market’s expectations for future gas market conditions.
Regional gas distribution networks and independent gas transporters charge distribution fees that vary based on the location of your commercial property.
Gas suppliers incorporate a profit margin into their business gas quotes. When a supplier is seeking to grow their business, they may offer more competitive quotes with a lower profit margin to attract new customers.
Some business gas suppliers offer green commitments, such as sourcing a percentage of your gas from biogas or investing in carbon-negative projects on your behalf. Green commitments typically raise the price of business gas quotes.
The capacity of your business gas connection, recorded within your MPRN, determines the fixed charges for maintaining the connection to your business gas meter.
