One to three-year terms are available. Larger businesses can access fixed contracts through npower Business Solutions, with terms of up to five years.

Operating hours

Variable tariff

E.ON Next offers a variable tariff for smaller businesses that prefer flexibility over price certainty. Rates move in line with wholesale electricity market conditions and there is no fixed end date, meaning businesses can switch at any time without exit fees. Variable pricing for larger businesses is available through npower Business Solutions on a bespoke basis.

Pass through tariff

Pass-through tariff

npower Business Solutions offers fixed contracts with pass-through options, allowing larger businesses to fix their commodity price while choosing how non-commodity charges such as TNUoS, DUoS, and environmental levies are paid. Charges can be fixed upfront or passed through as determined annually by Ofgem.

Flexible tariff
