Business Electricity Prices

Charity_Dalek

My son is working on a school project and needs to know what a business would typically pay for electricity. Any replies appreciated.

Currently we are working on 10p per kw/h.

I would say that including VAT at 15% - can't be bothered to work it back but about 8.5p per kilowatt hour?
Totally depends of course
You also need to include the standing charges at say £25.00 per quarter

I run a small business - boarding kennels and cattery. I use approximately 12000 kwh per year.
I've just received my proposed new contract from eon, informing me that the charges from March will be £14.36 per quarter standing charge, plus 14.97p per kwh used. This new tariff is more than double the amount I am currently paying, so i've been checking the comparison sites for a better deal. prices vary from 8.2p to eon's extortionate 14.97 per kwh. If you work on about 10p per kwh, you are not far off the mark for a small business, although I believe that large businesses can negotiate cheaper rates than are available to me. Don't forget to factor in the standing charge as well, about £45 to £70 per year, and vat at 15%
Good luck with your son's homework - hope you both get an A* !

Also business such as restuarants will have more than one supply, in most cases they will have a catering supply in which the catering appliances can run of that meter and they get a slightly cheaper rate.
