Who is EDF Energy?<\/h2> \"Who\n

So first of all, who exactly is EDF Energy? The company was initially owned entirely by the French state and was the main provider of electricity in France through their nuclear power station.<\/p>\n

In 2009, they acquired access to nuclear power stations and gas power stations in the United Kingdom and as a result, became one of the largest providers of energy to the UK.<\/p>\n

Since then, EDF Energy has grown quite a popular reputation for outperforming similar companies, such as Scottish Power<\/a> and\u00a0Npower<\/a>\u00a0with regards to customer satisfaction.<\/p>\n

EDF Energy is extremely focused on reducing its carbon footprint with a goal of reaching net-zero carbon emissions. This ambitious target can be achieved by moving to other cleaner methods of producing energy such as solar, wind and nuclear. One of the most impressive parts is that they plan to do all this at no extra cost to their customers.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n

EDF Energy business electricity rates and tariffs<\/h2>

EDF Energy provides a number of different tariffs<\/a>, including fixed rates as well as variable tariffs which allow customers to choose what is best for them.<\/p>\n \n \"EDF\n\n

You can\u00a0compare electricity<\/a>\u00a0and gas rates for businesses by using our comparison tool, making it very easy to decide what providers have the best value for money.<\/p>\n

Fixed-rate contract<\/h3>\n

Fixed-rate tariffs are a great option for those who want to commit to a rate for a period of time. The rate for fixed-rate contracts is a lot cheaper than the other contracts. They allow you to focus on your business and not worry about your next bill breaking the bank.<\/p>\n

In addition to this, fixed-rate contracts prevent you from getting shocked by price rises that can go unnoticed, the price you agreed to is what you will be charged for the length of your contract.<\/p>\n

EDF Energy online accounts make it super simple to manage all of your payments and activity around your tailored plan. There is a fixed rate contract specifically for tariffs that are managed entirely online.<\/p>\n

This is the cheapest option that EDF Energy offers which takes out the need for lengthy conversations with call centres and instead uses a much simpler chat service.<\/p>\n

Variable-rate contract<\/h3>\n

EDF Energy also offers a type of variable rate contract that gives businesses the freedom to upgrade or change providers whenever they please. Instead of committing to a fixed rate for the entirety of the contract, you will be charged according to the electricity and\u00a0business gas prices<\/a>\u00a0at that time.<\/p>\n

This option will be more expensive, which is the expected consequence of going with this type of contract. However, EDF Energy does have an advantage over some of the other providers – they do not charge fees if you decide to switch to a different service and do not require notice before leaving.<\/p>\n

Again, this type of contract can be managed online to pay bills through your business account where every transaction is saved and provides a payment history to check if it is still the best plan for you.<\/p>\n

Deemed or out of contract rates<\/h3>\n

All energy providers will have deemed or out of contract rates for when contracts run out and are not renewed. These prices are almost always much higher than the standard contract rates so it is important to take note of when the agreed contract comes to an end.<\/p>\n

The EDF deemed electricity price has a standard meter charge of 90p per day outside of the contract as well as 25p per kWh.<\/p>\n

The EDF deemed gas price has a standard meter charge of \u00a31 per day and 5.3p per kWh.<\/p>\n

The rates differ depending on the type of meter being used as well as what day it is with off-peak times being slightly less. It should be said, however, that all of these rates will be much higher than any other normal contract so it is important to renew or switch providers as soon as you notice that your contract has run out.<\/p>\n\n\t

Additional EDF Energy business contract information<\/h2>

There are a few more points that are worth noting with regards to signing a contract with EDF Energy.<\/p>\n \n \"Additional\n\n

EDF Energy has started installing smart meters all around the country making it super easy for business customers to have complete control and knowledge around their energy use. This will help show if the costs match the amount they are paying and allow them to make changes to reduce power usage and charges.<\/p>\n

If you decide to move your business to a new location, EDF Energy has an entire team designed to make this process as simple and stress-free as possible.<\/p>\n

They also have a unique offer where the first one thousand customers that own an electric vehicle and agree to a fixed-rate contract will have the first 3 months paid for.<\/p>\n \n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n\n\n
