- Time-of-Use Tariffs: Variable rates depending on when energy is used, with distinctions such as:
- Peak Periods: Higher rates during times of high demand.
- Off-Peak Periods: Lower rates during times of low demand.
- Shoulder Periods: Moderate rates between peak and off-peak times.

TESTIMONIAL
“At a time when everyone could use a little help to save a dollar, Choice Energy helped our business find a new energy retailer at the same cost, without incurring the annual increase proposed by our old energy retailer.
Included was independent metering to be able to verify bills easily and the process also helped us get a demand reset as part of a solution that delivers our business a saving of over $20,000.
These guys can handle everything… Great job Choice Energy.”

Why Compare Business Energy Plans?
Business owners across Australia are facing rising operational costs, including increasing energy prices. Without an annual review of your energy contract, you risk paying more than necessary. The energy market changes regularly, and new opportunities for savings arise every year.
By comparing business energy plans, you can ensure your business is on the most competitive tariff available. This means lower costs, improved efficiency, and more funds to invest in your business growth.
How Do Business Energy Comparison Tools Work?
Online comparison tools allow businesses to compare different energy plans and pricing options. Typically, you upload a recent energy bill, and the tool generates a list of available plans. While these tools provide an overview of market rates, they come with limitations.
Unlike automated comparison platforms, Choice Energy offers a tailored service that not only identifies the best rates but also provides expert guidance, tariff reviews, and contract negotiations - all at no cost to you.How Does Choice Energy Compare Business Energy Plans?
When you engage Choice Energy, our energy consultants:
- Review your current energy bill, contract, and usage
- Submit your details to our extensive panel of business energy retailers who compete for your contract
- Present you with the best available offers, highlighting potential savings
- Manage the switch to your new plan with minimal disruption
- Provide ongoing support with annual reviews to keep your costs as low as possible
The entire process is free, as we are paid by the energy retailer.
Are All Business Energy Comparison Services the Same?
There are many online energy comparison websites, but they often have limitations:
- They only compare a limited number of retailers
- They do not review your network tariff to find additional savings
- They may not provide an unbiased comparison, as they partner with select retailers
- The responsibility of choosing and managing the contract rests on you
At Choice Energy, we provide a fully managed service that removes the hassle of comparing, negotiating, and securing the best energy rates. Our expert brokers tailor a strategy to your business and ensure you receive ongoing cost savings.
How Can Businesses Get the Best Energy Rates?
There are three primary ways to compare business energy rates:
- Contacting a retailer directly – This provides limited options and may not result in the best deal.
- Using an online comparison website – These sites offer a basic overview but lack personalised service.
- Engaging a broker like Choice Energy – A dedicated consultant negotiates on your behalf, ensuring you secure the most competitive rates.
Many businesses remain with the same provider for years, assuming loyalty leads to better pricing. However, retailers do not typically reward loyalty, and better rates are often available elsewhere. Large-market businesses can also save through tariff adjustments or integrating solar energy solutions.
With Choice Energy’s network of retailers, exclusive rates, and ongoing market insights, we ensure you get the best energy deal and long-term savings.
Key Factors to Consider When Comparing Business Energy Plans
When choosing an energy plan, consider the following:
- Renewable Energy Options – If sustainability is a goal, look for plans that support solar power or green energy sources.
- Discounts vs. Real Savings – Pay-on-time discounts may seem appealing but don’t always equate to the best overall rates.
- Annual Reviews – The energy market changes frequently. Review your contract yearly to avoid overpaying.
- Flexibility – Ensure contract terms align with your business needs, particularly if growth or operational changes are expected.
