Business electricity

We quote your business electricity, run the switch, and track your renewal date so nobody moves you onto a worse rate by default. If your current contract beats what the market will give you today, we say so and you stay put.

Business electricity rates

The published UK average for non-domestic electricity is 24.14p per kWh, including the Climate Change Levy. That is a fall of 6.2% year on year (DESNZ, Quarterly Energy Prices, published 30 June 2026, covering Q1 2026). DESNZ is clear that it varies by size band, so treat it as a market benchmark. Current numbers sit on business electricity rates, sourced per our pricing methodology.

Quotes

To price your site we need a postcode, your MPAN and a recent bill. Digging the bill out is the annoying part; the rest takes minutes. We ask for a letter of authority so we can talk to your supplier, and you can withdraw it at any time. Start at business energy quote, where the price is reconfirmed with you before anything is signed.

Switching

Switching changes who bills you. Nobody visits the property and the meter stays where it is. Timings and what your old supplier can do are on switch business electricity. If you want the mechanics before you commit, read how to switch business energy.

Renewal

Contracts end on a fixed date. What arrives afterwards is whatever your supplier decides. For microbusiness contracts starting after 30 April 2015, the maximum termination notice period was cut from 90 days to 30 days (Ofgem, checked August 2026). Notice dates and what to do with a renewal offer live on business electricity renewal, and deemed rates covers where you land if you miss them.

Meters and connections

A new premises, a capacity upgrade or a supply that was never energised is a connection job. Those run on their own timetable and their own paperwork. Larger sites sit on half-hourly metering, which is priced and settled differently again. Costs, lead times and who to call are on business electricity meter installation.

Suppliers

What a supplier charges matters more than the name on the bill, though billing accuracy and exit terms cost real money when they go wrong. We price across the panel and show you the whole set, including the ones paying us least. Who supplies what, and where each one is strict, is in the business electricity suppliers directory.

Comparing

A real comparison lines up unit rate, standing charge and contract length on the same basis, for your meter, on the same day. Prices move daily, so two quotes gathered a week apart tell you very little. The method, and what to check line by line, is on compare business electricity.

Business electricity procurement

Business electricity procurement means running a tender across suppliers and making a deliberate call on whether to fix or stay flexible. Commercial electricity procurement for a multi-site portfolio adds staggered end dates and a basket of meters priced together. If you run more than a handful of sites, or a board that wants the decision documented, say so at the quote stage.

Gas as well as electricity

Contracts are held per site, so even where one supplier bills both fuels the end dates drift apart. We can price both at once and line the dates back up. Start with our page on buying both fuels together.
