What is business electricity?

Business electricity in the UK supplies power to businesses, from small shops to big manufacturers. Unlike domestic electricity, it serves all business interests through alternative pricing structures and other contract types. The companies have available various tariffs. The team at Energy Prices Direct assists enterprises in solving their electricity requirements with competitive rates and tailored solutions to cut down energy costs and increase efficiency.

Are business electricity rates cheaper than domestic electricity rates?

Business electricity rates are usually cheaper than domestic rates, but this can vary due to several factors. While domestic consumers are charged higher unit rates, they are spared from price fluctuations and subsequent VAT charges, hence sometimes making direct comparison impossible.

Energy Prices Direct, understands these dynamics and strives to help businesses get the best electricity rates available. Its expertise in energy procurement allows it to take care of the complex negotiations required to save businesses money on energy bills and make sure they get their most effective management possible.

How can I save money on the electricity my business shares with Energy Prices Direct?

To save money on your business electricity bills, focus on using energy conservation and regularly checking electricity prices. Metering devices can help, but it's also important to monitor your energy bills to understand the cost per unit and daily charges. Make a note of when your current contract ends, as you can start comparing prices up to a year in advance. The Energy Prices Direct team are here to get the best deals and maximize your savings. Many suppliers offer free smart meters to track your usage in real-time—contact us for more information!

What types of energy tariff can you get?

When considering a change in electricity or gas suppliers through Energy Prices Direct, you can choose from several types of energy tariffs:

·         Fixed Rate Tariff: The unit price for electricity and gas remains constant throughout the contract term, usually up to 24 months, but can extend to 60 months. This offers price certainty and protection from market fluctuations.

·         Variable Rate Tariff: The price can fluctuate based on wholesale energy market rates, meaning costs may rise or fall during the year.

·         Green Tariff: Your energy supplier matches your usage with renewable energy, promoting sustainability and reducing your company's carbon footprint.

·         No Standing Charge: Some tariffs forgo the daily standing charge, but the unit price may be higher to compensate for the absence of this fixed cost.

How can I find the right energy supplier for my business?

Finding the right energy supplier for your business can be challenging, especially in a competitive market. Consider bundling your gas and electricity with one supplier for convenience. If sustainability is important to you, look for suppliers that offer green energy options. To maximize savings, analyze your business's electricity usage patterns. Partnering with a knowledgeable company like Energy Prices Direct can help you optimize your energy supply through their industry expertise and strong relationships with energy suppliers.
