Types of Business Electricity Tariffs

Fixed Rate Tariff

The most popular electricity tariff option for businesses is a fixed rate tariff. The businesses will pay a fixed unit rate and a standing charge for the full contractual period. Based on the suppliers, the price can be locked for a maximum of 5 years. But most suppliers, including the Big Five, prefer a maximum 3-year term. See the fixed rate electricity tariff.

For the businesses who maintains control of their bills and budgeting, a fixed-rate business electricity will be the best as the price will not increase during the contract period. Sometimes businesses may think what if the price reduces. Businesses need expert opinions about the market before making a long contract. Energy Solutions can be your assistance in this regard.

Variable Rate Tariff

For the variable rate tariff, the unit rate will change based on the wholesale prices. The unit price can be increased or reduced. The businesses may take advantage of price reductions. However, it may have the disadvantage of a price hike as well. To understand the right time to switch to a variable rate tariff and avoid the unforeseen price hike, businesses should get an expert opinion. Variable rate tariff may be a good option for those who are comfortable with the frequent price changes. See variable rate electricity tariffs.

Rollover Tariff

The rollover tariff applies if the businesses do not agree to a new contract and the contract expires. The rollover tariff is generally fixed for a certain period, generally for one year. Rollover rates are generally more expensive. So, the business will be bound by the expensive rates for 1 year and the businesses can’t go with cheaper prices anywhere else.

Green Business Electricity Tariff

From the name of the tariffs, it is clear that the electricity is generated from sustainable sources. Nowadays, businesses are increasingly concerned about the environment and are actively seeking renewable energy options. Most business electricity suppliers now generate power from renewable sources and offer green tariffs. This means that businesses committed to environmental responsibility, irrespective of size, have a greater choice than ever before.

Pass Through Tariff

Unlike other business electricity tariffs, the pass-through tariff is a bit more complex. The bill is separated into fixed wholesale rates and other associated rates. The other associated rates include the cost relating to National Grid levies and other network-related costs. The rates can be changed when the market prices change. This type of tariff is best suited for large-consuming businesses.

Deemed Rate Tariff

If the business does not enter into a commercial electricity contract, the supplier will charge the business with a deemed rate tariff. Deemed rate tariffs are the most expensive rates in the market.

Flexible Tariff

Organisations with a large electricity consumption may prefer flexible tariffs. Such organisations purchase electricity in advance. It will help them to avoid the retailer costs and get the best wholesale market rates.

It can be said that each tariff has its benefits. This is not straightforward for all businesses to choose any tariff. Due to that, the business should compare the business electricity tariff with importance. The comparison will give the businesses an overview of the correct tariffs and effectively save the cost.

Types of Business Electricity Tariffs

Electricity needs vary from business to business, meaning that no two business electricity contracts are the same. That’s why we offer both fixed-rate and more customised deals to suit you. There are many types of business electricity tariffs, including:

Fixed rate tariff

With the flex approach tariff, it is possible to bulk-buy your business’s gas in advance when wholesale market rates are especially low. For this, you need the cash available to purchase in advance but it can be a cheaper option in the long run.

Variable rate tariff

The unit price on a variable tariff on the other hand will change according to wholesale prices. This option is more of a risk but does offer more flexibility and allows you to take advantage of any dips in business electricity prices.

Green tariff

As more businesses move towards more sustainable practices, green tariffs which provide 100% renewable energy are becoming more popular. Some suppliers are starting to offer it as the standard and pricing it more competitively.If you have any questions about tariffs and would like more guidance on which might be right for you, don’t hesitate to get in touch.

What is Unit Rate and Standing Charge?

Unit rate is the cost of each kilowatt hour of electricity your business uses. Businesses with high consumption rates will generally pay slightly cheaper unit rates than smaller businesses.

Your standing charge covers the cost of maintaining the energy supply. This includes using and maintaining the energy supply network and transporting electricity to your premises.

Finding the Best Business Electricity Supplier for You

Based on the business operation, certain commercial energy suppliers may be best suited for the business. In the recent crisis, the energy bills increased for businesses. The business owner can switch to another suppliers that offer the best price for his business.

Switching to new suppliers may save money for the business owner. The price has been really unstable over the last few years. The business owners can fix their price by entering into a new contract with the cheapest available market price. The business will be able to save from the next contract rather than the current one, as the business can’t leave any existing contract till expiry.

For large consuming businesses, it’s really important to choose the right electricity supplier. Businesses with large energy consumption should go with the tender process to get the right supplier. In the tender, the suppliers may offer some additional features and services. Some businesses rely on the energy brokers to find the best supplier for them, as they have vast industry knowledge. Businesses can take advice from our experts as we have a cumulative experience of 40 years in the UK Energy Market, and also benefit from our additional post-sales services.

Is the Business Electricity Price Reducing?

Since the Ukraine-Russia War started, the price of business electricity has become one of the ongoing hot topics for businesses. However, in recent days, the energy price has become more stable, but still, the price is a bit higher compared to.

As an energy consultant, we continuously analyse the energy market price. We made a comparison for February, March, and May in 2024 and 2025 to demonstrate the stability of the Business Electricity Price. The price per kWh in February 2024 was 25.94p after a decline from 30p. But in February 2025, the price went a bit higher than the previous year. However, the price declines in May 2025. From the industry knowledge, we know the price in summer is lower than the other times of the year. So we can assume that the unit rate may be lower till August and then the price may be increased, based on the global situation.

Changing business energy supplier is generally straightforward enough, but take good notice to avoid disruption and obtain the best price. Here’s how:
 
 
1. Check Your Current Contract
• Check contract end date: Look at termination clauses, notice periods, and auto-renewal terms.
• Identify termination fees: Be aware of any early exit penalties.
 
 
2. Shop Around for Energy Providers
• Use comparison websites or call brokers who specialize in business energy.
• Compare:
• Unit rates (per kWh)
• Standing charges (daily rates)
• Contract length
• Green energy deals
• Customer service scores
 
 
3. Get and Compare Quotes
• Request quotes for your actual energy use (using past usage or estimated usage).
• Ensure the quote is fully inclusive of charges (others may be hiding a low quote with unnecessary fees).

4. Choose a New Supplier
• Choose the best deal for your company (not the cheapest – consider quality of service and flexibility).
• Sign up to a contract and negotiate a start date.

5. Notify Your Current Supplier
• Provide notice as required (5 working days).
Typically it is notified by the broker or, upcoming supplier to the existing supplier. If your bills are clear with the previous supplier.
• Transfer your last meter reading to avoid being overcharged.

6. Set with New Supplier
• Provide relevant business and meter details (e.g., MPAN/MPRN numbers).
• Finalize start date and contract terms in writing.

7. Monitor the Switch
• Switching should take between 2-4 weeks (can be faster, depends on your current contract end date)
• There is to be no interruption of supply—only the billing supplier is changed.

8. Last Bill Confirmation
• Pay last bill from current supplier.
• Make sure there are no remaining final charges outstanding.
 
 
Tips:
• Track your usage going forward to ensure the new provider bills accurately.
•Consider fixed-rate contracts if energy prices are volatile.
•For multi-site businesses, ask about consolidated billing.

A Letter of Authority (LOA) is a formal letter that allows a third party — e.g., an energy broker or consultant — to act on your behalf when negotiating with energy suppliers.

Suppliers must have written permission prior to releasing contract details, use statistics, or allowing any third-party negotiations. An LOA encourages openness and legal accuracy.

It typically allows brokers to:

* View energy use and billing information
* Request quotes from suppliers
* Negotiate renewals or changes to contracts
* Supply change of tenancy forms (if necessary)
* Negotiate with suppliers on your behalf

No. An LOA doesn’t obligate you to any energy contract. It only authorizes the broker to obtain information and negotiate with the suppliers.

Most LOAs are for 12 months but could be otherwise. You can terminate it anytime in writing.

Yes, but only for the authorization it provides. It won’t give power to a broker to make decisions or sign agreements in your name on your behalf.
