THE BEST BUSINESS GAS PLAN FOR YOU:
Business gas plans depend on two things. Your usage of gas unit and your type or category of gas meter. They both should align with your needs and demands.
Gas unit rates can fluctuate daily based on your tariff.
Some tariffs have a higher unit rate and a high daily standing charge while others have a lower daily standing charge but their unit prices are high. If you have a lower unit usage, your business should be focused on getting a plan with a moderate daily standing charge to save your money on both sides.
- A small business would get a monthly bill of up to €600 with a unit rate of 7.5c to 9.0c and a standing charge of €0.29 up to €0.63
- Medium businesses would get a monthly bill of up to €3000 with a unit rate of 5.0c to 6.5c and a standing charge of €0.63 up to €1.18
- A Large business’s gas bill would start from €6000 with a unit rate of 4.0c to 5.5c and varying daily charges.
Although, the bills can be more or less than the stated charges, depending on your business. Contact us today to get a personalized list.
Now let’s talk about some contracts and plans you must research before finalizing a service provider.
- Fixed-term contracts: They last between one to two years and the unit rate and standing charges remain the same. They will help you to protect your finances against policy changes and price hikes.
- Flexible contracts: Flexible contracts allow you to pay ahead a fixed gas price until the validity of the contract. You have the option to flexibly pay 10 – 25 % for your expected gas usage and not worry about price fluctuations.
- Wholesale gas tracker: Wholesale gas service providers let their customers know the daily price of natural gas just like gold or oil. It is a good contract as gas prices regularly go lower than usual which helps you save cost. But the price hike can also come as a surprise to disturb your budget.
- Unbundled contracts: Unbundled contracts are just like going out with a friend and splitting to bill to pay for exactly what you consumed. Unbundled contracts divide your bill into two parts one being the fixed unit rate and the other being variable non-energy charges associated with the service.
- Blend and extend: This is a loyalty-based contract where a contractor can give you lower than usual rates when you renew your service contract with them. But you might not get these rewards if the gas prices increase from the rate you were enjoying before.
