Eon Business Electricity Rates Review

Eon supply all types of businesses with electric and gas energy services mainly on fixed priced contracts. Here’s our review on what’s on offer for UK businesses.

Eon is one of the UK’s largest energy suppliers and currently supplies over 500,000 business customers for business electricity and gas supplies. For small business owners with an annual consumption level under 100,000 kwh their tariffs are geared towards fixed priced annual or three yearly contracts.

Eon Business Electricity Tariff

Like most of the energy companies finding out what your quote would be for business energy supplies is a little harder than for domestic properties. Although with Eon you can get an online quote from their internet site. For electricity they offer the following:

• Fixed price electricity contracts
• Guaranteed pricing for the length of the contract
• One year or three year contract lengths
• Access to cheaper prices when purchased online via their internet site
• Additional discounts if you pay via direct debit
• Access to energy savings advice website which could save an additional 10% to 20% per year
• UK call centres with business advisers

Eon Business Gas Tariffs

The same applies for Eon Business Gas tariffs in that you can obtain a quote via their website and their offer the same type of terms as with their business electricity tariffs.

Other Benefits of Choosing Eon

Of course every energy supplier in the UK wants your business as the volume is higher than from domestic customers and generally easier to service. So Eon helps you make an informed decision by offering the following additional benefits:

• A named dedicated business account manager to manage your switching process from your current supplier if you choose to move to Eon
• Competitive pricing
• Access to an integrated energy provider as they generate and supply electricity in the UK
• Access to green renewable electricity

Eon also operates what they call a price promise although there are quite a few exclusions and you have to be quick if you want any recourse from them, but overall they promise the following on pricing for your business electricity and gas supplies:

• To offer your business the cheapest quote and if you get a cheaper quote from one of their competitors within 3 days you get £50 – this is no big deal really (if it were offered for domestic contracts then great, but for businesses it’s not really an incentive – however, because they have this in place they will probably try and offer you the cheapest deals)
• Offer you flexible dates to start and finish any contract you sign
• Fixed prices which will not increase during your contract term

Eon Business Green Tariff

You can also access renewable energy for your business by choosing Eon’s green tariff named “easygreen”. Although not all energy supplied is currently 100% from renewable sources any energy you do use as a business customer from non renewables is offset via the climate care programme. This tariff is based on a one year contract at fixed prices.

Overall our view of Eon’s business rates

When we reviewed Eon business electricity and gas offerings we felt that they are trying to do the best they can for business customers. Even if the price promise is a bit weak businesses should get quotes from all the major energy suppliers in any case. Sometimes it’s down to the people you are dealing with and how they treat you in negotiations. Our tip: get quotes from all and then call them to try and negotiate further.
