Empowering small businesses: EDF's year of innovation

In the small business team at EDF, we believe in the power of innovation and the importance of listening to our small business customers. Our commitment to understanding our customers needs, combined with our customer research has resulted in some new solutions to meet your energy needs!

Our three new tariffs are just the start as we continue to introduce net zero to the small business community. Let's explore each of these propositions and their benefits to your business growth.

4-Year Fixed Tariff – reassurance and simplicity at your fingertips!

What is it?

Stability and certainty are crucial for small businesses. That’s why our 4-Year Fixed Tariff offers a fixed energy rate for (you guessed it) four years, protecting your business from fluctuating market prices. It’s the longest fixed deal we’ve ever offered!

This tariff is being trialled until the end of April, to see if it meets some small business needs.

Benefits for your business:

• You know exactly how much you’ll pay per unit of electricity and gas – this helps with budgeting
• Enjoy peace of mind knowing your energy costs are locked in for the next four years
• Consistent rates make it easier to manage and forecast your energy expenses

Zero Standing Charge – pay only for the energy your businesses uses (launching next month)

What is it?

Our Zero Standing Charge Tariff is designed to allow you to pay only for the energy you consume. This tariff is ideal for many businesses including those who operate seasonally or may not be open 7 days a week. If your annual consumption is over 3,500 kWh for electricity and over 30,000kWh for gas, then you’ll be eligible for this tariff. 

Benefits:

• Pay only for the energy you use
• If your business operates seasonally or doesn’t open 7 days a week you won’t be paying for daily standing charges on the days you don’t operate
• If you have a smart meter, you can monitor your energy consumption in real-time and adjust your usage to maximise savings under a zero standing charge tariff.

This tariff will be available to our customers in August!

Green Tariff – building a greener future for your small business (launching soon)

What is it?

Running a small business with big green dreams? The Green Tariff will supercharge your sustainability game! Whether you’re a seasoned eco-warrior like One Green Bottle, ditching single-use plastics one bottle at a time, or just dipping your toes into the world of greener choices, this tariff has your back. Clean, green energy with zero fuss—because saving the planet should be as easy as flipping a switch.

Benefits for your business:

• Power your operation with 100% renewable energy and reduce your businesses carbon footprint – helping Britain become net zero
• Save money on your monthly energy bill with either solar panels or battery storage offering cheaper rates during off-peak hours
• You can proudly share that your electricity is sourced from renewable energy like wind, solar, and hydro. This shows your dedication to help reduce reliance on fossil fuels

This tariff will be available to our customers this summer ☀️

At EDF, we're dedicated to supporting small businesses through innovative energy solutions.

👀 Keep your eyes peeled for the future 👀

Our ideas don’t stop at the three tariffs you’ve read about. We want to help our small businesses start and continue their journey towards net zero. We already offer our residential customers a time of use tariff with/without solar, battery storage and EV’s and will be rolling that out to our small business customers this year too.
