Comparing business energy prices online for a better energy deal for your business

Despite sharing the same generation, transmission and distribution networks, business electricity is not the same as domestic electricity. It’s also the same for gas.

Business energy contracts are always different to domestic energy contracts, no matter how big or small the premises are. Commercial energy contracts are set up differently, resulting in businesses having to pay different rates for both electricity and gas.

For larger companies, you could even be charged a half-hourly rate of electricity. Half-hourly electricity readings are mandatory for corporations using at least 100,000 kWh of electricity each year.

Additionally, some businesses might have multiple meters installed for more accurate energy readings. Moreover, and unlike domestic energy supply, commercial energy tariffs do not come with dual fuel options.

Although there are clear differences between domestic and business energy, they have one at least one common denominator. If your energy supplier has not been switched for a while, you’re probably paying far more than you should be.

If you haven’t compared business energy quotes or switched supplier in a while, it’s probably time to search for the best business energy prices for your business.
