How Much are Business Gas Prices per kWh?
There’s much confusion around business gas prices and what is a great unit price per kWh.
Whilst business gas prices largely depend on wholesale gas prices, there’s much more to it than market fluctuation. The price you pay for commercial gas also takes into account the location of the business premises, overall consumption and the length of your gas contract.
Here, we've provided the latest average business gas prices per kWh in the UK by business size. These rates are based on a 2-year fixed-rate contract. Prices will vary by region and these are a UK average.
| Unit Price (p/kWh) | Standing Charge (p) | Annual Cost (£) | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Very Small (Micro Businesses) |
11.70p | 45.9p | £753.31 |
| Small businesses | 10.30p | 51.2p | £1,731.23 |
| Medium businesses | 10.00p | 58.7p | £2,716.42 |

Managing Business Gas Costs
Paying close attention to the cost of your business gas will help you secure a great deal. There are a few tips you should keep in mind to ensure you never overpay on your gas rates again.
- Jump on a deal when you find one - You can secure business gas prices up to 12 months before your contract end date. This protects your business from any wholesale business gas price fluctuations. If you see a great deal, it could be gone tomorrow as prices change daily.
- Are you on the right tariff? - Ensuring you’re on the correct business gas tariff can save you £100s. If your fixed-rate contract ends, gas suppliers will place you on expensive out-of-contract rates. Also, think about what times of day or night you’re using the most energy.
- Could you reduce your consumption? - Having an informal walk around your premises with energy saving in mind can help you spot simple efficiency improvements that require little to no investment to save money.

What Business Gas Tariffs are Available?
When you use our online comparison engine, you will find a variety of tariff options ranging from the cheapest fixed, variable and green tariffs.
Ensuring you’re on the correct business gas tariff can save you a significant amount of money. Choosing a gas tariff comes down to how and when the business operates. For example, a business operating predominantly late at night and at weekends may benefit from Economy 7 & 10 tariffs.
Here are some of the tariffs you may want to consider:
Fixed-Rate
A fixed-rate tariff is an agreed price you pay per kWh of gas used. These business gas rates are fixed for the agreed duration of your contract. Many companies prefer a fixed-rate tariff as they offer security and predictable outgoings that are friendly to budgeting activities. They also protect the business from any price fluctuations in wholesale business gas rates.
Variable-Rate
Variable gas rates offer flexibility in times of higher wholesale gas prices. The price your business pays for gas will fluctuate. Often known as a variable price plan, you’re able to move to a fixed-rate gas tariff at any time to save money.
Deemed-Rate
Deemed-rate gas tariffs operate on 28-day rolling terms. Customers are placed on this if a new business gas contract has not been agreed upon. These are often very expensive gas rates and ideally should be avoided.
Green Tariff
Many business owners are starting to take steps towards becoming more sustainable. The first step for many businesses is to opt for a green business gas tariff. The common misconception is that green gas tariffs are much more expensive - however, they are very competitively priced.
Latest Supplier Prices for Business Gas per kWh - 2023
As a competitive market and many factors are considered when a gas supplier offers a business gas quote, it is very difficult to pinpoint one gas supplier as the cheapest.
However, we can offer insight into averages based on a fixed consumption level. The example below is not set in stone and is based on a consumption of 25,000 kWh of gas.
