Does EDF offer business tariffs?
EDF Energy offers as many as 9 different tariffs for SMEs. However, as with all business tariffs, your rates will depend on the size of your business, where your company is based, how much energy it uses, and what your peak load hours are.
EDF can cater to businesses of all sizes, offering customised Performance Contracts for enterprise-level businesses that spend over £1 million a year on their energy.
EDF offers one variable rate tariff and 8 fixed-rate options, ranging from 1-4 years. While the one-year fixed plan usually works out cheapest, you may find yourself paying more in the future if energy prices increase.
