Electricity charges for businesses typically comprise of:

  • Fixed Daily Supply Charges: A consistent fee for maintaining your connection to the electricity network.
  • Variable Usage Charges: Costs are based on the amount of electricity your business consumes, which can vary depending on your selected tariff structure.

Common Tariff Structures

  1. Single Rate Tariffs: A uniform rate per kilowatt-hour (kWh), regardless of the time or day of usage.
  2. Time-of-Use Tariffs: Variable rates depending on when electricity 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.
  3. Controlled Load Tariffs: Specific rates for appliances metered separately, operating during designated off-peak times (e.g., water heaters).

Our electricity brokers will help you understand your usage patterns and recommend the most cost-effective tariff structure for your business.

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.”

What Is Business Electricity Price Comparison and How Does It Work?

Comparison tools online help you to compare the price of different business electricity prices to make an informed decision about which offer best suits your needs.

All that is typically required is a recent copy of an electricity bill that you then input into an energy comparison tool. You’ll then be provided with a summary of results for you to then consider and take up.

While comparison tools provide business operators with an avenue to review their electricity costs, they are not without fault.

As a commercial energy consultancy, Choice Energy provides a more favourable, free alternative, where we review your energy usage and contract on your behalf, saving you time and money, while also providing you with a range of other benefits.

Where Can I Compare Business Electricity Plans?

As you may know, there is an abundance of energy comparison services available on the internet. This makes it overwhelming to navigate which is right for your business - and many do come with their limits:

Considerations:

  • Energy comparison websites typically offer a select range of business energy suppliers.

  • If you are on a large market contract, a business energy comparison website doesn't show if you can save from a more appropriate network tariff or other ways you may be able to save on energy costs.

  • Comparisons may not be truly unbiased.

  • Without dedicated support, the onus is on you to decide on your best option and keep on top of this annually.

At Choice Energy we are experts in comparing and procuring business electricity contracts and providing electricity procurement strategies for small, medium and large market clients.

We pride ourselves on helping businesses reduce their energy costs, offering genuine choice of the market through our extensive panel of retailers and lifetime broking services.

All you have to do is engage one of our expert energy brokers who will work with you on a tailored strategy to reduce your energy costs and the best part is, it's free!

How to Find the Best Business Electricity Rates?

When searching for the best business electricity rates, the three avenues are speaking directly to a retailer, using a comparison website, or working with a dedicated broker like Choice Energy who can do this for you for free.

You aren't typically rewarded for loyalty by staying with the same business energy supplier and the onus is on you to ensure they are providing competitive rates from across the market. If you are on a large-market contract, a business energy supplier won't typically tap you on the shoulder to alert you of other cost savings such as a more optimal network tariff or whether solar could help you save.

With Choice Energy’s extensive industry knowledge and panel of electricity retailers, and range of energy solutions, our expert consultants can help you find the most competitive deals on the market providing you with an impartial and independent view.

As we have relationships with the retailer, we often have exclusive best electricity rates for businesses that you can access. We’ll then leverage our expertise to continue to help you save in other ways.

After saving businesses right across Australia hundreds to thousands in their electricity costs, you can be assured you’re in good hands with a trusted energy partner.

What Should I Consider When Comparing Business Electricity Plans?

When comparing business electricity plans, there are several factors that you should consider to help you choose the best option for your business.

As a small business, here are some things you should consider when comparing business electricity plans:

  1. Renewable energy options: If you have plans for your business to "go green", consider plans that offer renewable energy options such as solar power.

  2. Pay on Time discounts: Pay on Time discounts don't always mean you're on the best rates..

  3. Loyalty: Retailer’s don't typically reward loyalty, so why be loyal to them?

  4. Review regularly: Actively review your small business electricity plan every year. Annual market changes occur each year which may impact what pricing is available so don’t be afraid to shop around.
