Business energy questions

The process takes about 30 seconds. Enter your business details and you’ll see alternative gas and electricity quotes from a range of UK suppliers, which you can compare with what you’re currently paying.

Yes, getting quotes is completely free. We may receive remuneration from our partners if you choose to switch, but there is no charge to you for getting and comparing quotes.

If you haven’t arranged a new contract before your current one expires, you’ll move onto out-of-contract rates, which are generally more expensive than a fixed contract. Getting quotes helps you see what alternatives are available so you can compare them with what you’re paying now.

Our partners manage the switching process for you. There is no interruption to your gas or electricity supply – the same energy flows through the same infrastructure; only your billing arrangement changes.

You’ll need your business postcode, and ideally your MPAN (electricity) or MPRN (gas) reference numbers and your annual usage figures from a recent bill. The more detail you provide, the more accurate the quotes will be.

Understanding business energy

Business energy contracts differ from domestic ones in several important ways. Understanding these differences helps you get more out of the comparison when reviewing available quotes.

  • Contract lengths – business energy contracts typically run for one to five years, with prices fixed for the duration.
  • Out-of-contract rates – if you don’t arrange a new contract before your current one expires, you’ll move onto out-of-contract rates, which are generally more expensive.
  • Meter types – your meter profile (standard, half-hourly, or multi-site) affects which tariffs are available and how your usage is measured.
  • No cooling-off period – unlike domestic contracts, business energy agreements usually cannot be cancelled once signed.

What UK businesses pay for energy: the official figures

The Department for Energy Security and Net Zero publishes the average price non-domestic customers actually paid each quarter, split by annual consumption. In the first quarter of 2026 (provisional) the averages were 24.14p per kWh for electricity and 5.17p per kWh for gas, including the Climate Change Levy and excluding VAT. Both are lower than a year earlier (25.74p and 5.54p). The smallest sites pay the most per unit: under 20,000 kWh of electricity a year averaged 35.02p, and under 278,000 kWh of gas averaged 7.48p.

Q1 2026 figures are provisional; next update 29 September 2026. Prices are fully delivered averages including the Climate Change Levy and all other elements except VAT, so standing charges are already spread across the units. Averages across every UK business in a band, not quotes.

Use the table to sanity-check a quote: find your annual kWh on your bill, read off the band, and compare the quoted unit rate with the band average. Our business electricity and business gas pages show the year-on-year movement for each band.

What affects your business energy costs

  • Your annual consumption volume and usage patterns
  • The type of premises and how energy-intensive your operations are
  • Your meter type and supply capacity
  • Contract length and payment terms
  • Wholesale energy market prices at the time you fix your rate
  • Government levies and environmental obligations passed through by suppliers

Practical checklist before you compare

  • Know your current contract end date and any termination notice periods
  • Have your MPAN (electricity) or MPRN (gas) reference numbers ready
  • Gather your annual usage figures from recent bills
  • Consider whether fixed or flexible purchasing suits your business
  • Compare the total contract cost, not just the unit rate
  • Check for additional charges such as meter operator fees or climate change levies
