2025 Business Gas & Business Electricity Prices per kWh
Business gas and electricity rates have stabilised in 2025. This has opened a great window of opportunity for businesses to assess their tariff to see if they can get a cheaper deal.
It’s important to remember that the prices you pay will vary based on a number of factors.
One of the most important factors is the size and location of your business premises; including the amount of electricity your business consumes. Larger businesses with higher energy usage can often access a cheaper unit rate than smaller businesses.
This can make it difficult for businesses to understand whether a unit rate offered is suitable for them. Here, we’ve broken down the average business gas and electricity tariff by business size based on 2-year fixed-rate contracts.
Data correct as of July 2025. Annual cost based on a 2-year contract and the maximum kWh usage within each business size banding. These prices reflect a live market and are subject to fluctuation.
| Business Size (Annual Usage) |
Electricity (p/kWh) | Annual Electricity Bill | Gas (p/kWh) | Annual Gas Bill |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Very Small/Micro (up to 5,000kWh) |
27.1p | £824.10 | 9.2p |
£355.22 |
| Small (5,000-15,000kWh) |
26p | £2,774.79 | 7.9p | £930.30 |
| Medium (15,000-25,000kWh) |
25.6p | £6,668.80 | 7.7p | £1,683.56 |
| Large (25,000-50,000kWh) |
25.5p | £10,149.52 | 7.7p | £3,053.19 |
| Extra Large (Corporate) (50,000-100,000kWh) |
25p | £19,356.14 | 6.6p | £5,440.04 |
Are Business Electricity Rates Still on the Up?
Business electricity rates have stabilised in 2025. This has opened a great window of opportunity for businesses to compare tariffs to see if they can get a cheaper deal.

What to Consider When Getting a Energy Quote
We know it’s vital for businesses to find the best price when comparing business energy quotes. Consider how your business consumes energy can make your saving even bigger.
- Business energy tariffs - selecting the right tariff for your business can have a huge impact on your energy rates. For example, a restaurant primarily operating in the evenings and weekends may find they have cheaper business energy bills on an Economy 7 tariff.
- The size of your business - not just thinking about the size of your business premises, but also your overall consumption. Higher consumption users will pay lower business energy rates due to purchasing more gas and electricity. Got multiple premises? Grab a multi-site deal and increase your purchasing power.
- Business energy supplier pricing models - some suppliers will charge more than others. Whilst the wholesale energy market will guide overall prices, suppliers will have different prices.
What’s Included in My Commercial Energy Quote?
When you compare business gas and electricity rates, there is a lot ‘built in’ to the prices you see. When you view your annual cost, this is calculated based on your consumption and has the following costs included in the quote:
- Gas and electricity unit price per kWh
- Daily standing charge
- VAT at 20% (some discounts available)
- Climate Change Levy (CCL) at 0.00775p per kWh this year
Should I Fix My Business Energy Prices in 2025?
Fixing your energy prices can provide several benefits for your business. By fixing your energy prices, you can more accurately budget for your energy costs.
During the height of the energy crisis, many businesses were reluctant to fix at higher prices offered by suppliers. However, since 2022, business energy rates have fallen more than 60%. As prices are expected to remain steady, more businesses are now securing fixed rate contracts.
However, it’s important to keep in mind that energy prices can change quickly due to factors including the global markets, geopolitical events, and supply and demand. Fixing your prices can protect you against these changes for the duration of your contract.

Compare Business Energy Tariffs
Each business energy tariff type offers its own benefits, from fixed costs over a certain period to renewably sourced energy. For those reasons, it is important to thoroughly compare business energy tariffs, in order to identify the most suitable tariff for your company & better manage your energy costs.
For standard contracts, there are several business energy tariffs available:
Fixed-Rate Energy Tariff
The price per kWh will not charge for the duration of your energy contract. You will be protected against any price increases for energy.
Variable Rate Energy Tariff
The price per kWh will change from month to month. You will pay the rates in line with wholesale market prices. This means your business could experience both price increases and decreases.
Green Energy Tariff
A green business energy tariff is a more environmentally friendly way to power your business. This is an easy way for businesses to start their journey to becoming more sustainable.
Deemed Energy Tariff
Setting up business energy for the first time? Until you go through this process you may be on an expensive deemed rate tariff. Not ideal but switching to a cheaper business energy tariff is just a few clicks away.
Rollover Contract
Business energy providers will place you on out of contract rates if you haven’t secured a new deal by your contract end date. These are expensive rates and you should avoid entering this type of deal. The good news is that a new deal can often be secured up to 12-months before your contract end date.
Small Business Energy Price Comparison
Running a small business can be difficult. Add on all the business utilities to manage, and it becomes even more time-consuming.

What Happens at The End of a Business Energy Contract?
Energy suppliers will move companies over to a variable rate tariff. The business will be charges at the current market rate and prices can fluctuate from month to month. If electricity rates are low, your business could save money; but in most cases these tariffs tend to be more expensive for both business gas and electricity.
It is often advised and better for companies to compare business energy prices to find a suitable fixed rate tariff and the best overall package for their business energy contract.

Companies with multiple buildings with separate meters can combine business energy bills. A multimeter can help companies manage their gas and electricity suppliers much easier than switching business energy suppliers multiple times.
-
What Are Business Energy Grants?
Business energy grants are financial incentives provided by the UK government or energy suppliers to support businesses in adopting energy-efficient practices or renewable energy technologies.
These grants aim to encourage businesses to reduce their energy consumption, decrease environmental impact, and promote sustainability. The types of projects we tend to see include energy-efficient upgrades, installation of renewable energy systems, or implementing technology that improves overall energy efficiency.
Businesses can use these grants to offset the initial costs associated with adopting a more sustainable and cleaner energy solution.

What Happens to Business Energy Customers’ Debt?
This will depend on the arrangements the administrator puts in place to recover any monies still owed to the failed supplier, including those owed by former customers.
-
What Happens to My Credit Balance as a Business Customer?
Business customers’ credit balances are not protected under the Safety Net. We will try and appoint a supplier to cover all or some of the outstanding credit – but, this isn’t guaranteed.
You should contact your old supplier’s administrator about any credit balances you may have.
-
Who Supplies My Business Energy?
To find out who your current business energy supplier is, you need to check your most recent energy bill. It should include the name of your supplier and the contract/ tariff you are on. If you are new to the premises, the previous occupants may have contacted the supplier to inform them of their relocation, so you should keep an eye out for a letter addressed to “The Occupier”.
Once you know who is responsible for supplying the energy in your business, it will make it easier to reassess your contract details and update any information with them.
You also have the option to contact your distribution network operator to find out who is supplying your business energy. You can use the Energy Networks Association postcode search tool to find out which area your property belongs to.
-
What’s the Difference Between Long-Term and Short-Term Energy Contracts?
Short-term energy contracts are like renting - they are much more flexible but prices can change quickly. Long-term contracts are like buying - stable, but you are committed even if prices drop or rise.
Short-Term Energy Contracts
Pro: Flexible
Con: Price Volatility
Long-Term Energy Contracts
Pro: Stability
Con: Less Flexibility
Choosing the right energy contract length depends on your business energy needs and risk tolerance, like energy consumption and budget.
-
Can I Get Cheaper Business Energy Prices as a Micro-Business?
You may have heard the term ’micro-business’ floating about. This is terminology that suppliers use to classify different types of consumption levels when it comes to energy. There are some unique benefits of falling into this category.
Ofgem defines a Micro business consumer as a non-domestic consumer that meets one of the following definitions:
- Uses less than 100,000 kWh of electricity per year, or
- Uses less than 293,000 kWh of gas per year, or
- Employs fewer than 10 employees (or their full-time equivalent) and has an annual turnover or balance sheet no greater than €2 million (approx: £1.8 million)
If you pay less than £12,000 per year for either electricity or gas you may be considered a micro business.
Businesses with a reduced energy usage may find more expensive unit rates due to a smaller buying power. Despite this, there are benefits for micro-businesses when switching business energy.
Energy suppliers are required to provide renewal letters to micro-businesses detailing your current energy price, future prices, and annual consumption. This can make it easier to switch to the best available deal in your renewal window.
If you choose to switch during your contract as a micro-business, you can do this without termination notice. In many business energy contracts, suppliers can insist on a 30-day notice period. A micro-business can switch without providing serving this notice period.
