Business electricity price comparison FAQs
Why is it important to switch business electricity suppliers?
The top reason businesses switch their electricity supply to different suppliers is to reduce the cost of energy bills. Comparing electricity tariffs and prices across suppliers ensures that businesses get the best rates available and avoids being put onto high cost out of contract rates which can potentially save your business thousands of pounds a year. There is also the option of staying with your existing supplier, but a business should always compare prices so that they can negotiate with a supplier rather than accepting standard renewal terms. We take the hassle out of switching electricity supplier with our online comparison tool that can generate energy quotes for your business in under 60 seconds.
How do I switch business electricity supplier?
We take the hassle out of switching your business electricity supplier:
- Find out who currently supplies electricity to your business (British Gas or Eon for example).
- Find out when your contract with your supplier ends (don’t worry if you don’t know his, we can find this out for you).
- Use our online comparison tool to get business electricity quotes from multiple suppliers.
- Choose the best quote for your business (with help from our expert advisors).
We’ll handle the rest. We’ll communicate with your existing supplier to let them know you are looking for the best deals and manage the switch over to whichever electricity quote you decide is best for your business.
What’s the difference between business electricity deals and domestic tariffs?
Business electricity deals can often be cheaper than rates for domestic energy customers in terms of cost per unit.
However, there are other factors to consider that can bump up the price of business electricity bills compared to domestic customer bills meaning the final cost is not necessarily cheaper:
- VAT – Business electricity has VAT applied at a rate of 20% compared to the 5% that domestic customers pay.
- Levies – Additional costs are sometimes added to business electricity bills such as Climate Change Levy (CCL) costs which are not applied to domestic customers.
- Price fluctuations – Business electricity contracts are often flexible and can be impacted by changes in the underlying wholesale electricity markets. Domestic tariffs on the other hand smooth out these fluctuations and usually only change significantly on an annual basis.
How do I find my MPAN?
MPAN stands for Meter Point Administration Number and is a unique reference number that relates to your business electricity supply.
When switching supplier or moving into a new premises your new supplier will need the MPAN so that they can be sure that they set up the electricity supply to the correct property.
You can find your MPAN on your electricity bill where it’ll often be labelled as ‘Supply Number’. The MPAN will be 21 digits long and begin with an ‘S’.
What is a half-hourly electricity meter?
Half hourly meters are electricity meters that send details of the consumption and energy used directly to the electricity supplier every half hour.
Half hourly meters are for intended for large businesses that use a lot of electricity. If a business goes over a power usage of 100 kW in any half hour period then it is mandatory that the supplier installs a half hourly meter on their premises.
A half hourly meter gives the electricity supplier a more accurate view of the electricity being used, which they can use to tailor bespoke electricity deals and tariffs for these larger businesses.
What is kWh consumption on business electricity quotes?
Kilowatt hours (kWh) is a unit used to measure how much energy is used. To give some idea of size, one kWh would power a 100-watt lightbulb for 10 hours.
Energy companies use kWh to understand how much electricity or gas your business uses (otherwise known as ‘consumption’)
Cost per kWh is a good way to compare electricity or gas quotes and tariffs as it’ll enable you to do a side by side comparison of rates to easily determine which is cheapest. Our expert advisors can talk you through any quotes you receive to make sure everything is clear before you make any decisions on what deals to go with.
How long will it take to switch business electricity supplier?
If you’re moving into a new business premises, or you’re not currently in a contract with an energy supplier, then you will be able to switch straight away and it’ll usually take a couple of weeks for the switch to go through
If you’re currently in an an energy deal with a supplier for your business, then the timing of any switch to a new supplier will depend on the end date of your existing electricity or gas deal.
You should compare deals well before your electricity or gas contract end date so that you can have a new supplier in place as soon as your current deal ends. We can manage all these communications with your existing and new supplier so that the switch to a new deal can happen automatically once your current tariff ends.
