Current British Gas Business energy tariffs
How does business gas pricing work?
Business gas prices are not calculated in the same way as domestic gas tariffs as they are set up differently.
The unit pricing of business gas could potentially be cheaper than domestic prices depending on the size of the business and your gas consumption. However, domestic customers pay a lower rate of VAT on gas than businesses.
It may be calculated on a fixed or a variable rate tariff. A fixed business gas price plan offers set unit prices for a defined period of time. The contract length is usually between one and three years, but can be as high as five. With a flexible or variable rate price plan your unit rate and standing charge could go up or down.
Types of business gas rates
Fixed term plans – Guarantee the unit price of gas per kWh for a set period of time, plans usually run for between one and three years- Variable rate plans – Unit prices of gas can go up or down, but are typically costlier than fixed-term rates. You have the option to give notice and switch to another plan or supplier
How does business electricity pricing work?
Business electricity prices and tariffs are calculated and set up differently compared to domestic plans.
Business electricity unit prices may be cheaper than domestic tariffs because of the amount of energy used, but most business customers pay a higher rate of VAT.
Pricing is based on the business size and electricity consumption. It may be calculated on a fixed or a variable rate tariff.
If you have a half-hourly meter, British Gas will give you a tailored price based on when and how you use electricity.
Types of business electricity rates
- Fixed term plans will guarantee the unit price for a set period of time and plans usually run for between one and three years.
- Flexible or variable rate plans’ unit prices can go up or down, but are typically costlier than fixed-term rates, you have the option to switch to another plan or supplier by giving 30 days notice.
- Out of contract rates are likely to be more expensive than either fixed or variable rate plans and according to British Gas, you’ll only be moved onto these rates in exceptional circumstances
- Deemed rates are usually the most expensive business electricity tariffs. Speak to your current supplier and you should be able to switch from deemed rates within a short period of time.
