Average business gas prices per kWh
Our energy consultants track the market daily and source rates from our panel of over 20 suppliers for your business.
The table below shows the latest average business gas prices per kWh, based on government statistics for the non-domestic sector.
The average below relates to Q1 2026, the most recent published data. However, rates have increased significantly since then due to the ongoing conflict in Iran.
The gas rate available to your business also depends on your usage and your meter type, so the most accurate figure comes from quotes based on your business’s individual needs.
| Business size | Annual consumption (kWh) | Gas rate (p/kWh) |
|---|---|---|
| Very small | Up to 278,000 | 6.99p |
| Small | 278,000 to 2,777,000 | 4.28p |
| Medium | 2,778,000 to 27,777,000 | 4.12p |
| Large | 27,778,000 to 277,777,000 | 4.19p |

Cheap business gas prices
The cheapest business gas deal is not always the one with the lowest unit rate. A headline rate can look competitive and still cost you more once the standing charge, the contract length and any exit terms are taken into account.
Our consultants check the full cost of every quote against your expected annual usage, then time your contract to the market so you secure the rate at the right moment.
What affects business gas prices?
Several factors combine to determine what your business pays for gas, from how much you use to the meter on your site. Understanding what drives your bills is the first step towards a competitive deal.
Your gas usage
-
Your annual consumption has a direct impact on the rates suppliers will offer. A small office uses far less than a hotel or a manufacturing site, and suppliers price accordingly.
Your meter type
-
The type of business gas meter on site affects both your pricing and the contracts available to you. Your Meter Point Number MPRN identifies the specific business gas connection you are quoting for.
Contract length
-
The length of your contract affects the prices you are offered. A fixed energy contract can protect you from price rises over a longer term, while a flexible contract gives larger users more room to respond to a changing market.
Transportation charges
-
Getting gas to your premises has a cost of its own, covering the national transmission system and your local distribution network. These are part of the non-commodity costs on your bill, and they vary by where you are and how much you use.
Number of sites
-
If your business operates from more than one location, the number and spread of your sites affects your pricing. Suppliers can quote a multi-site contract that covers them all, which is often easier to manage than arranging each one separately.
What is included in your business gas prices
Your unit rate is not a single cost. It is made up of several separate charges, some set by your supplier and many outside their control. Understanding what sits behind the rate helps you see why quotes differ.
Business gas tariffs to consider
Business gas is not sold using a single type of contract. The right one depends on your usage, how much risk you are comfortable with and how much certainty you want over your bills.
Fixed
-
Your unit rate and standing charge stay the same for the whole contract, for up to five years. This protects you if the market rises and keeps your budgeting predictable, though you will not gain if prices fall. Best for businesses that want certainty over their bills.
Flexible
-
You buy your gas in several purchases across the contract rather than fixing one rate up front. This lets you buy when prices are lower and spread your risk, but your cost is not fixed and needs active management. Flexible energy contracts are best for larger businesses with high gas consumption.
Green gas
-
Your supply is matched with biomethane, backed by Renewable Gas Guarantees of Origin. This costs more per kWh than a standard contract, but lets you report lower emissions in your Streamlined Energy and Carbon Reporting.
