Why compare business energy prices?
The UK has a competitive business energy market, with numerous business energy providers, supplying UK businesses of all sizes. Comparing energy prices with a business energy comparison service makes it easy for you to put your energy contract out to the market. You should only need to provide details about your business once to get offers from a panel of UK energy suppliers.
Why are business energy prices so variable?
Business energy contracts and prices are not as straight forward as home energy because business energy tariffs are highly variable and reflect both usage and the time of use (example: your business might be a low energy user in the day time and a high energy user in the evening or overnight). Prices also factor in other elements like changes in seasonal demand (example: your business is a low energy user during winter but a high energy user in the summer).
Ongoing volatility with wholesale energy prices has resulted in business energy costs rapidly increasing, it’s never been more important to ensure you are getting the best value energy for your business.
Get an energy renewal quote from your existing supplier
Always negotiate with your existing energy supplier, your existing supplier knows your business and energy use. Your existing supplier will often want to retain your account, so they might offer you a really good deal to stick with them. Plus it also helps to have new pricing from your existing supplier so you can compare these prices with any offers you receive from new business energy suppliers.

The new Energy Bill Discount Scheme (EBDS) was introduced to replace the Energy Bill Relief Scheme it will run from 1st April 2023 until 31st March 2024.
The EBDS provides support to eligible business with discounts on units of electricity & gas. Discounts will only kick in if the wholesale prices rise above a certain threshold, and will be applied automatically (no need to register). Maximum discounts have been set at:
- Electricity – £19.61 per megawatt hour (MWh) with a price threshold of £302 per MWh.
- Gas – £6.97 per MWh with a price threshold of £107 per MWh
The discount is calculated as the difference between the wholesale price associated with your energy contract and the price threshold. The discount is phased in when a contract’s wholesale price exceeds the floor price, until the total discount per MWh reaches the maximum discount for that fuel.
For Energy & Trade Intensive Industries, higher level support is available with maximum discounts set at:
- Electricity – £89 per MWh with a price threshold of £185 per MWh
- Gas – £40 per MWh with a price threshold of £99 per MWh
