Types of business gas tariffs
Flex Approach
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.
Pass-Through
A pass-through tariff splits your gas bills so you have a fixed gas cost per unit rate but it is combined with variable additional charges like Transmission Network Use of System (TNUoS), National Grid levels and Feed-In tariff charges.
When finding a commercial gas contract to suit you, there are many different types of tariffs available. These include:
Fixed Rate
With this tariff, you can lock in a fixed unit rate for every kilowatt-hour (kWh) of gas usage throughout your contract period. As this rate stays the same even if wholesale prices rise, it is a popular option that makes it easy for businesses to budget and plan ahead.
Variable Rate
Unlike the fixed rate tariff, the variable rate is a lot more flexible and will change according to wholesale prices. With this rate, you can link your payments to the wholesale market; unit rates can fluctuate in response to market trends.
Blend and Extend
If your contract lapses without renewal or switching, you might end up on an extended tariff. This is typically blended with the current market rate to give you a new lower rate. Your contract is then extended and this rate is fixed for the duration of it.
Deemed Rate
If you don’t agree to a new contract with your supplier before your current deal ends, you will pay the default rate, which is usually the highest. Deemed rate tariffs are on a 28 day rolling basis and you can switch from it by giving 28 days’ notice.For more information about tariffs and advice on which would be right for your business, feel free to get in touch.
