Which Business Energy Tariff Type Is Right for Your Business?
Six tariff structures: each with different risk profiles and ideal use cases.
Fixed-Rate: Most Popular
Unit rate and standing charge locked for 12–60 months. 95% of UK business deals are fixed. Best for most SMEs.
Variable / Flexible
Rates move with wholesale market monthly or quarterly. Best for businesses with active energy management and risk appetite.
Green / Renewable
100% REGO-backed electricity from wind, solar, or hydro. Competitively priced in 2026, ideal for businesses with ESG targets.
Half-Hourly (HH)
Settlement based on 30-min usage profile. Required for businesses over 100 kW at peak. Bespoke quotes, call Switch.
Multi-Site Contract
Single contract covering multiple UK premises. Pools total consumption for better unit rates and simplified single-invoice billing.
Deemed / OOC Rate: Avoid
Default rate with no contract in place. No business should stay on this deliberately. Compare and switch immediately to a fixed deal.
How to Get Business Energy Quotes UK: 4 Simple Steps
From details to live quotes in under 60 seconds. Switch handles every step of the switch at no cost.
Gather Your Business Energy Details
You need four items: business postcode, current supplier name, MPAN (electricity) and MPRN (gas) from any recent bill, and annual energy consumption in kWh. No bill to hand? Switch can retrieve consumption data from smart meter records or estimate from your business type and premises size.
Run a Free Comparison on Switch
Enter your details at Switch. We search every available tariff across the UK business energy market — including exclusive broker-channel deals not visible on supplier websites — and rank every result by total annual cost: (unit rate × annual kWh) + (standing charge × 365).
Review and Compare Your Quotes
Every quote shows unit rate (p/kWh), daily standing charge, contract length, exit fees, green certification status, and total estimated annual cost. Filter by fixed or variable, contract length, green energy, or supplier to narrow your options.
Confirm Your Deal and Sign an LoA
Select your chosen tariff and sign a Letter of Authority (LoA), this authorises Switch to act on your behalf but does not commit you to a contract. Switch contacts the new supplier, coordinates the switch, and notifies your existing supplier. Supply is uninterrupted throughout.

Business Energy Quotes: Special Situations
Your circumstances affect the quoting and switching process. Here is what to expect in each case.
New Premises
Moving into new premises means you are on deemed rates from day one, typically 30–100% above market rates. Get a quote and switch to a fixed deal within the first few weeks of occupation. You will need the premises postcode, MPAN/MPRN from a recent bill or the outgoing tenant, and your trading name for the credit check.
Multiple Sites
Businesses with multiple premises can consolidate supply into a multi-site contract, pooling total consumption for better unit rates and a single invoice with one supplier contact. Call Switch on 01926 942125 to compare multi-site deals alongside single-site options.
Outstanding Debt
Business energy debt does not automatically block switching, unlike domestic rules. Most suppliers will quote and switch a business with minor outstanding balances. Significant debt may need partial resolution first. Switch advisors identify which panel suppliers will quote in your specific circumstances.
Mid-Contract
Business energy contracts don't typically allow mid-term switching. Your options are: wait until your switching window opens 60–120 days before contract end; negotiate a blend-and-extend deal with your current supplier; or pay the exit fee if the annual saving on a new deal exceeds the cost. Switch can model the break-even calculation for you.
