Understanding What You Pay When It Comes to Your Business Electricity Account!
Understanding business electricity rates and discounts
Business electricity charges are divided between fixed daily supply charges and variable usage charges. Electricity charges are structured to suit your individual business energy plan, such as:
Single rate business electricity tariffs : The kW/h rate remains the same all day, every day.
Time of use business electricity tariffs : Variable kW/h rates are applied according to the time of day the energy is used. Peak hour rates, shoulder rates and off-peak rates are often applied. Plans vary according to electricity providers, so it’s a good idea to understand your business electricity usage patterns to be able to accurately compare the time of use tariffs for business energy.
Controlled load tariffs : This is a rate that applies to separately metered appliances, such as hot water heaters.
In addition, business electricity retailers offer discounts including:
- Conditional discounts : Applied when certain conditions are met, such as pay on time discounts.
- Guaranteed discounts : Applied for the entire contract term, without the need to meet special conditions.
Choosing the right business electricity plan can result in significant cost savings for your business. Speak to a business energy specialist at GoSwitch and start saving on business energy bills today.
