Fixed Rate Plan
A fixed rate is a favored choice for businesses changing gas suppliers. With a fixed rate plan, you commit to a predetermined unit price and standing charge. This rate is guaranteed for the length of your contract, which can last up to 5 years. Fixed rate business gas tariffs provide stability for companies, allowing them to avoid any price increases during their contract term. As prices rise, many businesses aim to ensure their costs remain predictable. However, this also means that if prices decrease, your business will not benefit from the lower rates.
Variable Rate Plan

Assess Business Gas Rates - What Information Do I Require?
Switching business gas suppliers is straightforward when you have the necessary information readily available. While you’ll likely know most of the details, having a recent business gas bill on hand is beneficial, as it will provide the most accurate quote based on your consumption levels.
Here’s the information we’ll require from you:
- Your business gas bill (which shows your annual consumption)
- Your meter type (don’t worry if you’re unsure)
- Basic business details (name, address, and contact information)
- Your current business gas supplier
Business Gas Quotes for Small Enterprises
You are classified as a micro business if you meet these criteria:
- You have fewer than 10 employees (or their full-time equivalents) and your annual turnover or balance sheet total does not exceed €2 million, or
- You use no more than 293,000 kWh of gas each year.
Micro businesses enjoy greater protections in gas contracts compared to larger companies. For instance, they are entitled to receive renewal notifications and will reclaim any accumulated account credit if their supplier goes bankrupt.
Business Gas FAQs
While it is possible to terminate a business gas contract early, it's essential to consult your supplier beforehand. Most business contracts include an early exit fee, which is typically much higher than that of residential contracts.
You can secure a new deal up to 12 months before your current contract expires, as soon as your renewal window opens. This means that if you come across advantageous rates while comparing business gas prices, you can lock them in ahead of time.
Green business gas is a more eco-friendly option for powering your business. It is typically generated from sustainable sources like plants or animal waste. In recent years, renewable tariffs have become increasingly popular, and the price differences have narrowed.
The standard VAT rate for most businesses is 20%. However, if you run a charity or a not-for-profit organization, you may qualify for a reduced VAT rate of 5%. If you have any questions, it’s advisable to consult your gas supplier and ask for a VAT declaration form.
Automatic renewals occur when suppliers proceed with renewing your contract if you haven't agreed to new business gas rates. Typically, these renewed rates tend to be significantly higher.
Reading an analogue meter can be difficult. Many businesses opt to upgrade to a digital meter for easier readings. With a more accurate reading, you can save money by paying only for the exact amount of gas you have used.
To qualify, at least 50% of your gas consumption must be classified as business use. Some suppliers may have varying thresholds for eligibility.
Cancelling your business gas contract can be challenging. While certain circumstances, such as relocating your business, may permit cancellation, terminating mid-contract often results in substantial fees.
