When you compare business energy rates, it's unlikely that the rates you're quoted will be cheaper than the rates you're currently paying. This is because inflation means prices tend to go up over time. If you're renewing after a long-term fixed deal, rates may have risen considerably since you last took out a new contract.
And even though energy prices have been coming down since they spiked in 2022, and the market has become less volatile, rates are still higher than at any point since about September 2021.
At Bionic, we aim to find the best possible rates for your next energy contract compared to what you would be facing elsewhere or your current supplier’s out-of-contract rates. Unless you signed a contract when prices were at their highest, it’s unlikely that you’ll be able to get rates lower than those you’re currently paying.

The average amount of energy a business uses will depend upon the size of the business, along with how and why it uses energy.
Energy usage is measured in kilowatt-hours (kWh) and to give you an idea of how much energy a business like yours should be using, below shows general usage for small business and medium businesses.

Opus Energy hasn’t gone bust, but it will cease trading from September this year when EDF Energy will take over its current non-domestic energy contracts.
For more information, check out the section “Has Opus Energy gone bust” in our guide explaining what you should do if your business energy supplier goes bust or ceases trading.
If you’re on a fixed Opus tariff, EDF has confirmed your prices, terms, and conditions will stay the same for the duration of your contract.
If you’re on a variable tariff, this will be matched to the closest EDF equivalent.
No, there is no price cap on business energy rates; it only applies to domestic rates. Business energy and household energy are different—this largely has to do with how energy is bought and sold and the way contracts are drawn up.
For domestic customers, the price cap is reviewed every three months. Although this doesn’t directly affect non-domestic rates, it’s worth keeping an eye on it to see whether energy prices are expected to go up. If the price cap review indicates the level of the cap will rise, it’s probably a good idea to review your existing business energy contract and compare rates.
Because of the way business energy is bought and sold, rates are constantly changing. Different suppliers offer various deals depending on when you compare and switch – so the suppliers that offer the cheapest rates are always changing. When it comes to securing a reliable business energy deal, price isn’t the only thing you should consider though – you need to make you choose a deal that best suits your business needs.
Most businesses can run smoothly with a dynamic IP address, which is what comes as standard with most broadband deals. But if your business needs its own network and wants to host its own website, email, VPN, and FTP server then a static IP is best. For more information, check out our static IP address guide.
Your switching window is the earliest point at which you can compare prices and arrange a new deal, and it’s the responsibility of your supplier to let you know when this window opens. As standard, this will be 90 days before the end date of your contract, but timescales can differ so always check your contract. And if you run a microbusiness, bear in mind that the rules around switching are different to those of other SMEs.
However long your switching window, your supplier must provide you with written confirmation of it and also explain their automatic renewal policy and the terms of their deemed contracts.
When you compare business energy prices and switch with any broker, comparison site or third-party intermediary (TPI), you’ll need to sign a LOA.
As this is a recognised legal document, it follows a standard format and states that while a third party can gather information, negotiate and submit notice of termination on your behalf, they do not have the right to agree a contract without your consent.
When you switch with Bionic, signing this letter confirms that you’ve given us permission to handle the switch with both your old and new suppliers. But we can’t agree to a contract on your behalf until you’ve signed the LOA. This means you stay in complete control of the switch.
When you switch with Bionic, we use smart data to find a lot of the information we need to help you switch to a better deal. This means we only need your postcode to start a business energy comparison.
We’ll take care of the switch for you, and even look after your renewals to make sure you never overpay for energy again.
Here’s the revised and polished version:
The time it takes to switch your business energy supplier depends on the size of your business:
Micro businesses: Thanks to Ofgem’s Faster Switching rules, everything should be sorted within five days.
Other businesses: Switching can take up to 30 days.
If you still have a contract with your current supplier, the switch won’t occur until that contract ends. Even if you sign a new contract well in advance of your current contract’s end date, the switch to your new supplier will only happen once your current agreement has concluded.
Key points to remember:
You can only agree to a new non-domestic energy contract when your current one is up for renewal.
This renewal period can begin up to ten months before your current contract’s end date, so it’s important to keep track of that date.
To simplify the process, you can sign up for the Bionic Digital Renewal service, and we’ll handle it for you.
