Understanding Business Energy Contracts

Not all businesses have the same energy needs. Here’s a quick guide:

  • Fixed Contracts – lock in your rates for predictable bills.
  • Flexible Contracts – follow wholesale price changes (some risk, more potential savings).
  • Large-Site or Peak Demand Contracts – tailored for companies with very high usage.
  • Uninterruptible Contracts – discounted rates for large users in exchange for agreeing to occasional supply restrictions.

We’ll advise on which contract is right for your business.

Average Business Energy Rates

Rates vary depending on business size, sector, and location. For example:

Microbusinesses

up to 9 employees, usually on simpler tariffs.

SMEs

up to 250 employees, with wider tariff options.

Large enterprises

often eligible for bespoke contracts and specialist meters.

Tips to Lower Your Energy Costs

Practical ways to save include:

  • Switching to a better contract at renewal.
  • Upgrading to energy-efficient equipment.
  • Using natural light, LED lighting, and smart controls.
  • Improving heating, cooling, and insulation systems.
  • Regularly maintaining refrigeration or other high-use equipment.

The Climate Change Levy (CCL) Explained

Businesses using over 33,000 kWh of electricity annually may be charged the CCL. You can reduce this by:
  • Signing up to a Climate Change Agreement (CCA) — which can cut CCL charges by up to 90%.
  • Investing in renewable energy sources, which are exempt from the levy.

  • Independent, transparent advice with access to every major supplier.
  • Long-term support — we’ll even track your renewal dates so you never overpay.
