Business energy plan types
There are several different types of energy plans for businesses. Each plan has unique features that are best suited for various commercial needs, and Choose Energy can help determine which type is right for you.
- Fixed-rate plans for businesses: Secure a stable rate for the length of your contract. Fixed-rate plans are a good option for businesses with consistent electricity usage that want predictable electricity bills for the long term.
- Variable-rate plans for businesses: Rates fluctuate based on market conditions, changing monthly or quarterly. Variable rates are best for businesses that can take advantage of cost savings during times of low demand and have budget flexibility for high usage times.
- Time-of-use (TOU) business plans: TOU rates vary based on the time of day and season. Rates are typically higher during peak hours and lower during off-peak hours. These plans are a good option for businesses that can shift energy usage to off-peak hours.
- Green energy business plans: Reduce your business’s carbon footprint with a green energy plan. Opting for renewable energy sources can contribute to a more sustainable future for your business and the environment.

How to switch business electricity providers
If you aren’t satisfied with your current business electricity provider, we can help you switch plans. There are a few things you need to keep in mind when switching providers:
- Compare business electricity plans. Call the number on your screen to chat with our team about your business energy needs. Compare plan options based on your electricity consumption, usage habits, and budget, and receive quotes for electricity plans tailored to your business.
- Check your current contract. Review your energy plan’s Electricity Facts Label (EFL) to learn if there’s any cancellation fees. In some cases, it’s worth paying the fee if another plan offers better savings and benefits in the long run.
- Make the switch. Once you find the right fit, we can help you sign up for a new plan. After that, your new provider will handle the transition without interruption to your service.
Business energy FAQs
Who is the cheapest electricity supplier for businesses?
The cheapest business electricity supplier depends on your business size, energy usage, and location. Choose Energy partners with top-rated brands, such as TXU Energy and Ambit Energy, to offer the lowest rates for your business.
Are there plans for multiple locations?
If your business has multiple locations, our experts can help find a plan that caters towards higher electricity consumption. Give our agents a call to discuss this option.
What’s the average business electricity rate?
Business electricity rates vary across the country, but the national average is 13.63 cents per kWh.
Are business electricity rates cheaper than residential rates?
Business electricity rates can sometimes be cheaper than residential rates because business owners are essentially buying electricity in bulk. Since businesses typically use more energy than homes, they can get a better rate when buying in larger quantities.
How much do I have to pay if I terminate my plan early?
Every business energy plan differs when it comes to early termination fees. Read the Electricity Facts Label on your existing plan to see if you’ll need to pay a fee for canceling prematurely. Some energy providers charge by the number of months left in your plan, while others charge a flat-rate fee.
