Frequently Asked Questions
What do I need to get a business energy quote?
You'll find the information you need to get a quote on your bill:
- Your supply type (gas, electricity or both)
- How much energy your business uses in kWh (kilowatt hours) or pounds
- When your contract ends
Don't worry, if you don't have a bill to hand then you can still get a business energy quote, but your quote might not be as accurate.
What are the different business energy quote options?
We can offer business customers a range of fixed rate plans over one, two, or three years. If you don't want a Fixed Rate Energy Plan you can choose our 30 day Rolling Energy Plan. With our 30 day Rolling Energy Plan your unit rate and standing charge could go up or down but you're free to move to a Fixed Rate Energy Plan at any time. If you've got a half-hourly meter then we can offer an energy deal that works around how and when your business uses electricity. Whichever plan you pick, Direct Debit discounts are available to help you save on your energy costs. Learn more about setting up a Direct Debit today.
How long is my business energy quote valid for?
Your quote will be valid for that session only.
What are our current maximum pricing rates for micro business customers?
We are required to share the maximum unit rates and standing charges for our electricity and gas contracts by OFGEM.
This maximum pricing is only for our micro business customers who are entering a new contract.
Can I get a business energy quote for charities or not-for-profit energy?
We'll quote you on the standard VAT rate of 20%. Charities and not-for-profit organisations are eligible for a reduced rate of VAT at 5% on energy supplied by us. To apply for the reduced VAT rate, log into your online account. And, if you qualify for a reduced rate of VAT on business energy, you won't need to pay the Climate Change Levy either.
How do smart meters support renewable energy for businesses?
Smart meters give businesses real-time energy insights, helping cut waste and carbon. Businesses can learn from their data usage and shift to off-peak times and supporting flexible energy programmes. Using smart meters to monitor business energy enables energy suppliers to export surplus green energy back to the grid – saving money and driving sustainability goals.
Are renewable energy contracts suitable for small businesses and online retailers?
Yes. Renewable energy contracts for small businesses and online retailers are simple, cost-effective, and help cut carbon while boosting green credentials. With smart meters and flexible energy plans, you’ll track usage, manage costs, and show customers your commitment to sustainability – powering growth and net zero goals.
Is business renewable energy more expensive than standard energy contracts?
With our current offer of 100% renewable electricity for no extra cost, on new or renewed fixed-term plans. You’ll cut carbon, meet sustainability goals, and enjoy predictable pricing – all while supporting the UK’s transition to cleaner energy.
What is involved in switching my business to a renewable energy contract?
Get a quote online, choose the renewable plan that suits your business, and we’ll take care of the rest – including contacting your current supplier. Just share a meter reading and start enjoying greener energy with zero hassle.

A £50 credit per meter will be applied after the sale is completed and will appear on your bill once your supply is live. All credits will be processed by the end of 2026.

For microbusiness customers, the domestic energy price cap doesn't apply. Your price will depend on the type of contract you choose, your location, and how much energy your business uses. We publish our maximum prices, but for the most accurate and up-to-date rates, the best option is to contact us for a quote. See our most recent maximum pricing.
100% Renewable Electricity: Every unit of electricity British Gas supply to you during your contract will be matched to electricity from a natural renewable energy source and we will hold the necessary number of Renewable Energy Guarantees of Origin (REGOs) as evidence of this supply. British Gas will use reasonable endeavours to purchase enough REGOs to match 100% of the electricity you use on this tariff. However, failure to do so will not constitute a breach of contract by British Gas or give rise to you having the right to terminate the supply contract. In the event something changes, and British Gas can no longer guarantee a renewable supply we will write and let you know. Excludes the British Gas Lite product.
