Firstly, there are various plans, many of which have been designed to specifically cater to businesses, such as those that only operate at night or are seasonal, which may not be suitable for households. Next, you need to compare the pros and cons of such deals, as some may offer favourable unit rates, but higher daily standing charges, and vice versa. In addition, you will have to decide whether you prefer a fixed-rate energy plan which protects you from changes in the market price, or a flexible-rate energy plan that allows you to take advantage of falls in market prices.

Could you save more with a Dual Fuel Deal?

One particular type of energy contract is known as a Dual Fuel Deal. These types of energy deals mean you will get both your gas and electricity from the same provider. There are obvious benefits of only having to deal with one energy supplier should a problem arise, as well making submitting meter readings much easier. So, if you want to streamline your bills and make them much easier to manage, then a dual fuel contract may be right for you. However, you must remember that not all dual fuel deals are cheaper than single fuel contracts, and therefore it is important to compare the prices of the two.

Is it worth considering a green electricity deal?

There are now numerous green electricity energy suppliers operating in the UK, all of which offer various green energy packages. However, because this area is still relatively new, many green deals are more expensive than traditional fuel deals. This rise in cost is often down to the expensive technology required to produce such sustainable electricity.

While green electricity is not always the cheapest form of energy, it can often be more affordable than the tariffs being offered by some of the UK’s biggest energy suppliers. For example, 100% renewable energy can cost approximately £881 annually. The cheapest deals on offer average at £870 and those of the big six energy companies cost around £938. In comparison, the most expensive UK-wide traditional tariff is around £1,404 compared to the most expensive renewable energy tariff which currently stands at around £1,221.
