Best Business Electricity Tariffs — Responsive Guide

Best Business Electricity Tariffs

A quick, scannable guide to common UK business electricity tariffs — tailored for web readers. Check your meter type before choosing.

Fixed-rate tariff

Lock in a unit price per kWh for the contract term. Good for price certainty but bills still vary with usage.

Price certainty
Great if you want budget predictability and protection from wholesale spikes. Watch for exit fees if you leave early.

Variable-rate tariff

Unit rates change with wholesale prices — more flexibility, but exposure to market rises.

Flexible
Useful if you expect market prices to fall or need shorter arrangements. Keep an eye on market movements.

Rollover tariff

A default contract that applies if you don't secure a new deal; usually 12 months and often more costly.

Default fallback
Avoid unless necessary — rollover tariffs can lock you into higher rates and fees. Start comparing before renewal.

Economy 7 (multi-rate)

Different prices for peak vs off-peak. Cheaper overnight rates for night-heavy usage.

Off-peak savings
Good for businesses with evening/night operations or large storage/EV charging outside peak times.

No standing charge tariff

No daily fixed fee. You pay per kWh only, but unit rates are usually higher.

Pay-as-you-use
Best for seasonal or rarely used sites. Check comparative unit rates to ensure it's actually cheaper for you.

Renewable / Green tariff

Suppliers match your consumption with generation from renewable sources — a step toward sustainability.

Sustainable choice
Good for ESG reporting and customers who value low-carbon credentials. Ask suppliers what certificates or guarantees they use.

Smart Export Guarantee (SEG)

Sell small-scale renewable generation back to the grid — replaced older Feed-in Tariffs.

Export income
Useful if you have solar or other on-site generation. Rates vary by supplier; check contract terms for export payments.
