Small business electricity tariff

m0nkeylover

So i'm a part of a small park home site, our energy tariff at the end of the 3year fixed rate and is going on to a variable. So it is time to change.
I wasn't around when the energy tariff was arranged and because of that we are paying quite a high price IMO, as well as being on an economy7 tariff which we shouldn't be on - we don't use enough energy on night rate plus night the night usage is only metered overall, not per person.
We are with EON at the moment on a business 3year nightsaver plan, it is 12.6p day rate, 6.4p night rate with a 22.8p standing charge.
We used 36000kw last year with only 7000 being night time ones.
EONs new rate for a fixed term is higher again @13.11p day, 6.88p night and 27p per day - i've already checked. Varible is 20p and 10.6p with 23p standing charge.
Can anyone recommend me a good small business supplier or point me in the right direction where i can do some comparisons of a few, all the comparison sites i can find only do domestic rates and the business ones won't do online quotes.

No comparison sites for business tariffs.

Need to do the hard yards and hit the phones, or pay a broker to do it for you. Remember, you can haggle, which is more than domestic consumers can.

Thanks for the info, i thought as much. I've got a feeling that EON are trying to pull our pants down with these prices - I did a comparison using a domestic tariff @36000kw a year and best price with a known suppplier was £2k cheaper alone (10.5p a unit single rate) so i'd imagine as a business user i could save a little more again.

Hi m0nkeylover

Thought I'd stop by with a bit of information about renewals following some new regulations introduced this month. Hope it's of interest.

As customers come towards the end of fixed price plans we'll send renewal options. They'll have until the notice date (30 days before a plan ends) to decide what to do. With existing fixed price business plans agreed before 18 April 15, we'll send a renewal offer on or around 120 days before the end of the plan. If they don't contact us/change supplier, we won't roll them on to another fixed price plan. Instead, we'll move them to a Variable Price Plan at the end of the existing tariff. With this, there's a 30 day notice period to end the plan and switch supplier.

If switching, it's best to let us know by the notice date. Also, at the end of the existing contract, if you tell us you don't want another plan, including the variable one above, we'll put you on our out of contract prices from when the existing plan ends. These prices are generally higher than fixed products but you can leave at any time. If you've an online account, you can find our current out of contract and variable prices by logging in.

For customers agreeing fixed plans on or after 18 April 15, renewal offers will be sent on or around 60 days before the end of plans.

Hope this is useful m0nkeylover.
