Understanding What You Pay When It Comes to Your Business Electricity Account!

Published 18 October 20247 mins read

Finding competitive business energy rates can be a time-consuming challenge. You will need to know how energy providers calculate their rates, what energy retailers are available in your area, your current energy use, and the specific energy needs for your business. At GoSwitch, we believe finding business the cheapest energy should be easy, and businesses around Australia are the big winners.

Understanding business electricity rates and discounts

Business electricity charges are divided between fixed daily supply charges and variable usage charges. Electricity charges are structured to suit your individual business energy plan, such as:

Single rate business electricity tariffs : The kW/h rate remains the same all day, every day.

Time of use business electricity tariffs : Variable kW/h rates are applied according to the time of day the energy is used. Peak hour rates, shoulder rates and off-peak rates are often applied. Plans vary according to electricity providers, so it’s a good idea to understand your business electricity usage patterns to be able to accurately compare the time of use tariffs for business energy.

Controlled load tariffs : This is a rate that applies to separately metered appliances, such as hot water heaters.

In addition, business electricity retailers offer discounts including:

  • Conditional discounts : Applied when certain conditions are met, such as pay on time discounts.
  • Guaranteed discounts : Applied for the entire contract term, without the need to meet special conditions.

Choosing the right business electricity plan can result in significant cost savings for your business. Speak to a business energy specialist at GoSwitch and start saving on business energy bills today.

Is commercial solar energy beneficial for my business?

Australia is a nation with plenty of sunshine, making commercial solar energy a great initiative for many businesses. Solar energy can meet entire power demands for maintaining business as usual in some cases. Excess solar energy can be sold back to the grid for a cash-flow-positive system, while simultaneously reducing your carbon footprint and supporting the future of renewable energy.

How can I make my business more energy efficient?

Renewable energy is a great start, and there are lots of other ways to cut power bills. Here are just a few.

  • Undertake an audit of your business energy electricity and gas usage.
  • Reduce power demand by operating equipment in shoulder and off-peak times.
  • Program thermostats to switch off when not required.
  • Use energy-efficient office equipment with high energy star ratings.
  • Power down office equipment at the end of the day.
  • Prevent phantom energy wastage by unplugging equipment when not in use.
