There’s No Energy Price Cap for Businesses – But There Is a Solution

Understanding the Energy Price Cap

While households across the UK benefit from the protection of an energy price cap, businesses are left to navigate a very different landscape. Without a price cap to safeguard them, businesses are exposed to market fluctuations and the risk of inflated energy bills. At Reduce My Costs, we understand how daunting this can be, and we’re here to help you secure competitive energy deals tailored to your business’ needs.

No Cap, No Protection: Why Businesses Are Left Out

Unlike domestic energy users, commercial customers are not covered by Ofgem’s energy price cap. This cap is designed to prevent suppliers from overcharging households for their default energy tariffs, but for businesses, it’s a different story. Once a business’s contract ends or rolls onto a variable rate, they’re at the mercy of the wholesale energy market. Without regulatory safeguards, energy costs can spike with little notice, making budgeting and forecasting a real challenge.

The Risk of Rolling Contracts and Inaction

Businesses that fail to renegotiate their energy contracts before they expire often fall onto out-of-contract or deemed rates, some of the highest tariffs available. These rates can be up to double the price of a fixed-term contract and are particularly common among SMEs that may lack dedicated energy procurement staff. In such cases, simply missing a renewal deadline can potentially cost your business thousands of pounds unnecessarily.
