How to compare business energy plans

When you get quotes from us, or other suppliers, always get a breakdown of unit rates and any standing charges. This will give you a comparison of what you are being offered.

What’s the difference between domestic and business energy?

• Business energy is usually purchased on a fixed price plan of between 1 and 5 years. This helps you to budget and balance out any market price changes.
• Domestic contracts usually have a cooling off period. This isn’t the case for businesses so you need to make sure you’re getting the right price before agreeing a business energy plan.
• You can choose to buy your business energy on a fixed or flexible plan.  A fixed plan offers you the same unit rate over the year and a flexible plan means your unit rate and standing charge could go up or down.
• Tax works differently on a business energy plan. Businesses pay a different amount of VAT and other charges such as the Climate Change Levy.
• Business prices can be lower due to increased energy consumption.
