Cancellation Policy

When you switch suppliers from EON to another company, you do not need to provide a final meter reading. Your new supplier will take care of that for you.

All you need to do is contact EON and inform them that you are changing supplier.

You will need to pay a final bill of your outstanding amount. You may also be charged a cancellation fee, depending on when you are leaving your contract.

Local Prices

Not all regions of the UK pay the same amounts for their energy. Business Energy tariffs in different regions can cost much more.

This is because energy is produced in different parts of the UK, or in other countries. As a result, some regions are physically closer to their sources of energy. This makes their energy cheaper. Conversely, some regions are further away from their energy source, meaning the suppliers charge more for their energy.

Price Changes

The maximum prices of energy suppliers in the UK are restricted by the price cap. Ofgem, the energy regulator, sets a price-cap for energy prices. In 2021, this maximum price increased. As a result, most energy suppliers raised their prices to match the increased maximum.
