Business Electricity Rates

Compare the best business electricity rates in the UK

Bills for the energy that you need to power your business can be a real headache -- but so can trying to reduce them. Every business needs electricity to function. Even once you've economised in every way you can think of, you may still find yourself paying an extravagant amount. You may have wondered if you're really getting a fair price.

You're right to wonder. Business electricity rates can vary significantly between providers -- or even between different products from the same provider. Electricity suppliers need to attract and keep customers like any other business. To do this, they need to compete. One way to accomplish this is by offering the lowest-cost energy tariffs in the region. That's where we come in.

There are certainly plenty of ways you can cut the cost of your electricity bills other than switching to a different supplier. You can switch to lower-wattage or higher-efficiency appliances. You can institute energy-saving practices such as making sure that unnecessary lights, computers and other items that run on electricity are always switched off until they're needed again. You can turn down the heat in your building and use electric fans instead of air conditioning. After a certain point, however, you're not really being more efficient, as you cut into the systems that keep your staff productive and comfortable.

If you're already running a tight ship as far as efficient electricity use is concerned, then it's time to look at other ways of reducing costs. That can mean shopping around for a different supplier. Changing suppliers might initially seem like a drastic step but once you see how much you could save, it will become much more attractive. You could save hundreds, even thousands of pounds a year simply by transferring your account to a different supplier.

Obviously, trawling through every single company that supplies electricity in your area would be a major undertaking. As well as big names -- British Gas, Npower, E.ON -- there are lots of smaller companies and newcomers to the market such as Utilita. There may be a great many different electricity providers in your area, all of them offering more than one product. That's a lot of homework to undertake.

Fortunately, we have the solution. Our easy to use online comparison service makes short work of finding the best deals. We have a simple web form where you enter your postcode plus some basic details about your current supplier and your energy usage. It takes a couple of minutes to fill in and we can return the best quotes in the market within a few seconds.

Some other websites and articles only present a snapshot of business electricity rates rather than giving you live information. These sites may have been perfectly accurate when they were compiled but by the time you see them, they may already be out of date. They may also be working with second-hand information rather than data taken directly from the supplier. The information may also be presented in a way that's hard to understand, rather than clearly and concisely. In most cases, only a handful of suppliers are listed -- often the five or six best known companies rather than the most inexpensive.

Our service is different. Instead of a static table of tariffs or a list of different suppliers and their prices, we provide you with a single quote generated from information that you supply yourself. Our system uses information that comes directly from the suppliers that we search -- and we search them all. You can be certain that every supplier in your region is factored into our calculations so you know you're getting the best possible quote. Quotes obtained using our service are personalised using your individual details. They're easy to understand so you can see at a glance just how much you could save. Best of all, our service is completely free.
