Business Gas Tariffs

Finding the best gas tariff for your business depends on your specific needs. Here's a breakdown of common options:

Fixed Rate Tariffs

These tariffs offer price stability by locking in a fixed unit price for the duration of your contract. This predictability is excellent for budgeting and protects you from market fluctuations. However, your total bill will still vary based on your gas consumption, even if the unit rate remains constant.

Variable Rate Tariffs

With these tariffs, your unit price fluctuates monthly based on market conditions, primarily wholesale gas prices. While potentially advantageous when prices fall, they carry the risk of price increases, making budgeting more challenging.

No Standing Charge Tariffs

A standing charge is a daily fee added to your gas bill. Tariffs without a standing charge may seem appealing, but they often have higher unit rates to compensate. These are typically only beneficial for businesses with seasonal operations or unoccupied premises.

Deemed Rate Tariffs

If you haven't established a new contract, your supplier will likely place you on a deemed rate. This default rate is usually higher than negotiated contract rates, so it's best to avoid it by securing a new agreement promptly.

Green Tariffs

These tariffs help offset carbon emissions, often through Renewable Energy Guarantees of Origin (REGOs). While some suppliers offer 100% renewable energy, reviewing the terms and conditions is essential.

Pass-Through Tariffs

These tariffs pass third-party costs (government levies, network fees, etc.) directly to your business without markup. While offering price transparency and potentially lower costs, they also mean you assume the risk of fluctuating third-party charges. Businesses might choose this option for its transparency, potential cost savings, real-time pricing, and payment flexibility.

Time of Use Tariffs

These tariffs offer different rates for peak and off-peak times, typically day and night. The specific times vary by supplier.

Should I Renew My Business Gas?

We always recommend renewing your business gas when your contract has ended to avoid overpaying an inflated price for the costs you agreed upon when you signed the initial contract. Your electricity provider will automatically roll you onto a deemed tariff at the end of your term, which tends to be a much higher rate.

A few months before the end of your contract, you should receive a renewal letter, indicating the start of your renewal window and the ideal time for you to switch to a better deal before your current contract expires. It's crucial to remember that with energy contract renewals, to should renew as soon as you can.

Renewing through Dealtopia is incredibly straightforward, and our team of energy experts is on hand to communicate with your chosen supplier to fight for the best deal possible for you. We understand owning a business involves a lot of moving parts, which is why our team will handle this for you and keep you informed every step of the way.
