Which electricity tariff should I contract for my business?
When creating and setting up a business, people think about a plan, the financing, the premises, etc. What about the electricity? So that this does not become an obstacle in your journey towards entrepreneurship, here are the essentials when it comes to contracting it.
Your electrical contract is no trivial or minor issue when it comes to starting up a business. There are a number of key issues that you should not lose sight of. For example, competitiveness or cost savings. But that's not all: sustainability. Is your business committed to the environment? A rational and responsible use of energy will make your company stand out in this area.
You will have to assess your energy consumption to find out which business electricity tariff is best suited to your business. If it is very high, a tariff that offers discounts on the variable term (energy), especially during peak hours, could be appropriate. However, if your consumption is low, the most important thing is to appropriately optimise the fixed term of your bill (the power).
Another point not to lose sight of is the specific needs of your business. This information will determine the type of contract you need. The characteristics of each business are unique.
First: know how many kWh my business premises consumes
Let us start with one of the determining factors: how many kWh does a business premises consume. Do you know if your business' consumption is consistent? Or whether there are peaks at certain times of the day or on certain days of the week?
The size of the premises, the type of activity and the electrical equipment that would be used are good clues to the type of consumption that your business might have.
Consistent consumption will make it easier to know how much you spend per day on electricity and will in turn help you to better manage your bills. Nonetheless, you can always check how much electricity costs to make it easier for you to know how much your business premises consume.
The main steps in knowing and controlling the kWh consumption of your business premises are to analyse your electricity bills, install an energy meter, calculate the average annual consumption of your company and take into account the contracted power.
“To find out which tariff is best for you, it is essential that you know your consumption profile. On which days and at what times do you need to use the most electricity?”.
Second: calculate the electrical power of my business
Another important issue is the power to be contracted on your business electricity tariff. To do this, you will need to take into account the number of appliances and devices that will be on simultaneously.
When it comes to power, the key is to find the right balance. Contracting too much power will mean that you will pay more on your bill, but falling short will mean running out of electricity at certain times because, as they say: "the fuses will blow".
Only if your contracted power is higher than 15 kW will you have a maxi-meter that will ensure that the supply is never interrupted.
From a business point of view, it is ideal to know the energy prices in advance in order to be able to calculate the electrical power for your business and choose the most appropriate tariff. This allows you to plan for the whole year and get the most competitive tariffs.
Examples of how electricity tariffs are managed in different businesses:
Each company or enterprise is a different "world" and has different needs, including the electrical power to be contracted, which is why some businesses are more suited to one tariff than another, depending on their business activity.
H3: Which electricity tariff should I contract for some offices?
It is a small office without many appliances. Lights, computers, screens, wifi, photocopier, coffee machine, microwave, fridge, heating and air conditioning. The majority of consumption takes place on weekdays, from 8am to midnight, Monday to Friday.
Therefore, for offices, the most suitable electricity tariff for this type of business is the Tempo Tariff, which offers a single price 24 hours a day, without any surcharge, in its Tempo 24 hours version; and three different prices in its Tempo 3 Periods version, if it is convenient to have time slots with a lower price, in the event that your company concentrates its consumption in certain hours.
With the Tempo Tariff you will always pay the same for each kWh of electricity, with an indefinite 5% discount on the energy term.
Which electricity tariff should I contract for a bar or a restaurant?
If it is a catering business, most of the consumption comes from freezers, refrigerators, dishwashers, coffee machines and a small kitchen with its extractor hood, as well as conventional household appliances. It will also have a television and a sound system for music. Not forgetting air-conditioning and heating.
It opens early to serve breakfast and runs until midnight, even on weekends. The Open Business Tariff, which allows you to choose the hours with the best price and save according to your consumption schedules and needs, is a good match for this work schedule and rhythm.
If your consumption habits change, with the Open Business Tariff you can change the type of tariff whenever you want, and you will also enjoy a 7% discount on the energy term during the first year.
Which electricity tariff should I contract for a veterinary clinic?
A veterinary clinic for pets has the usual consumption of any small business: lighting, air conditioning and heating, as well as some of the usual office equipment (computers, screens, printers, Wi-Fi). No to mention medical equipment related to the activity (ultrasound scanners, electric scales, ultrasound, vital signs monitor, etc.).
The ideal electricity tariff for a company or commercial premises with these characteristics and activity is also the Open Business Tariff, as its different versions will adjust to your consumption schedules:
Open Weekend Tariff: it offers a lower price on Saturdays and Sundays, as well as on non-substitutable public holidays.
Open Night Tariff: from 00:00 am to 8:00 am you will pay less every day of the week.
Open Flat-Rate Tariff: you will pay the same price from Monday to Sunday, 24 hours a day.
