Business Electricity - What You Need To Know

How to get the best deal for your business

Understanding the nuances of switching commercial electricity suppliers can be a headache. We’re here to help you find the information you need. Whether it’s unravelling the details or merely finding a standout deal, we’ve got you covered.

When it comes to switching your business electricity contract, there are a few important details to note.

The best time to change suppliers

Your current business electricity supplier should send you a renewal notice. This is the time to prepare to make the switch. If you don’t, you may be moved to a rollover contract which charges rates at 70-100% higher than your standard tariff or moved to a deemed or out of contract rate, which can double your usual business electricity prices. Before switching ensure you give your current provider written notice of your termination. Without adhering to their T&C’s you won’t be able to switch away and will end up paying more.

Shop around

Not all commercial electricity contracts are created equal. Using our free comparison tool will help you match a tariff with your individual business electricity needs. The great news is since 2017 you can no longer be locked into a rollover deal for your business electricity. So, you won't be charged an exit fee if you switch. There's no better time to complete your business electricity comparison and find a better deal.

Understand your unique business electricity needs

Every business has a different set of electricity requirements. Information, including the size of your premises, what sort of equipment and machinery you use, how many people are employed, and more can determine what tariffs suit your business best. The most common tariffs are variable or fixed-rate options. A fixed-rate protects you from rising prices; however, it means that should the wholesale price drop your bills won't go down.

It’s not just your premises and machinery that can affect how you compare business electricity prices. Details like whether you generate some of your own electricity with solar panels can make things more complicated. It’s worth investing in a smart meter too, which ensures you get an accurate reading sent to your business electricity provider automatically.

We understand how the needs of every business can differ. Our free comparison tool makes it easy to breakdown the information so you can make an informed decision and save on future bills.
