In this quick guide, we’ll break down average gas and electricity prices, explain what affects your rate, and help you check if you're overpaying.

Note: These are industry averages and may change depending on market trends and contract types.
Why Business Energy Prices Vary
Your price depends on several factors, including:
Your business size and energy usage
Your location in the UK
Whether you’re on a fixed or variable contract
When your current deal was signed
Whether your broker added hidden fees
Even two similar businesses on the same street can pay very different prices if one of them hasn't switched in a while.
Signs You're Overpaying
You might be paying more than necessary if:
Your energy contract is more than 12 months old
You are on “deemed” or out-of-contract rates
You’re unsure what you're paying per kWh
