What tariffs are available with EDF Energy business?

In this section, we’ll discuss the EDF Business Energy rates and tariffs. EDF currently offers three tariffs specifically for SMEs, and one flexible tariff to large businesses:

  • Fixed for Business Tariffs: for businesses that want a fixed-rate tariff that could save them money, and includes call centre access.
  • Fixed for Business Online Tariff: Currently EDF’s cheapest option, for businesses that want an online fixed-rate tariff, though with limited customer service options.
  • Freedom for Business Tariff: for businesses that want a variable-rate tariff without exit fees.

Additionally, larger businesses – those spending more than £30,000 a year on energy – can negotiate bespoke deals with EDF directly.

Fixed for Business tariffs (SMEs)

At the moment EDF’s Fixed for Business tariffs allow you to lock-in the same price of energy for between 1 and 4 years.

The Fixed for Online Business tariff could be an option for SMEs looking to potentially save more money on energy. It’s the cheapest business tariff available currently. In terms of customer support, the Online tariff it’s a ‘lite’ version of the Fixed for Business tariff, in that you only have access to EDF’s online tools – not the call centre.

Freedom for Business tariffs (SMEs)

Unlike the fixed tariffs, the prices on EDF’s variable tariffs can fluctuate according to wholesale energy prices. You will be given 30 days’ notice if this happens.

One of the main features is that you can leave or switch to a fixed tariff at any time without paying exit fees.

Flexible contract for large businesses

Large businesses can negotiate bespoke contracts directly with EDF because large corporations typically need more energy than standard tariffs can supply. If you run a large business, you can also buy energy for fixed pricing or on flexible contracts.
