| Plan | Who it's for | How the price works | Worth knowing |
|---|---|---|---|
| YouFix gas | Single-site, multi-meter and multi-site businesses | Price agreed for your contract term, from 12 to 60 months | All contracts are subject to Crown's credit checks. |
| YouFix electricity | Sites with half-hourly or non-half-hourly meters | Price agreed for your contract term | You can choose renewable electricity backed by REGO certificates. |
| Tailored electricity pricing | Businesses with specific contract needs | Priced individually | Crown says it works with you so the contract meets your needs. |
| Carbon offset gas | Businesses that want to offset their gas emissions | Bespoke | Offsetting doesn't reduce the emissions from the gas you burn. |
| Green gas: Bio 10, Bio 25, Bio 50 and Bio 100 | Businesses that want to cut emissions from their gas use | Quoted for your usage; biomethane costs more than natural gas | Certificates through the Green Gas Certification Scheme. Blends offset the natural gas part. |
| Out of Contract rates | Customers whose contract has ended without a renewal or switch | Variable: can change at any time | Generally more expensive than contract rates. Published monthly. |
| Deemed rates | Businesses in Crown-supplied premises with no contract | Variable: can change at any time | Agree to a contract or switch as soon as you can. |

| Crown Gas & Power suits you if… | Look at other options if… |
|---|---|
| You want a named contact and a UK-based customer service team | Price is your only priority: Crown isn't always the cheapest on the day |
| You want green gas, from a 10% blend up to 100% biomethane | You're looking for home energy: Crown only supplies businesses |
| You want to fix your price for up to five years | You might need to leave before your fixed term ends, as exit fees can apply |
| You'd like your supplier to handle meter installs, new connections or disconnections | You use a lot of energy and want to buy it in stages: ask Crown whether a flexible contract suits your usage |
The best way to decide is to compare Crown Gas & Power with other suppliers for your own meter, usage and contract length. Sometimes Crown will be the cheapest option and sometimes it won't, so it pays to see the full picture before you sign.
Citizens Advice publishes a league table showing how non-domestic energy suppliers handle complaints. It counts complaints that reach independent bodies (the Citizens Advice consumer service, the Extra Help Unit and the Energy Ombudsman), weights them by how serious they are, and divides by each supplier's number of business customers to give a score per 10,000 customers. Lower is better.
In the table published in September 2026, Crown Gas & Power ranked 1st:
Crown says it held the top spot in this table from 2022 to June 2026. Because Crown supplies businesses only, it isn't included in the Citizens Advice star rating for household suppliers.
Please note: this table measures complaints that reach independent bodies, compared with each supplier's number of business customers. It doesn't measure prices, and scores can change from one quarter to the next, as Crown's did between January to March and April to June 2026. Treat it as one indicator alongside price and contract terms. Source: Citizens Advice, How does your non-domestic supplier stack up?, checked 10 November 2026.
You can get a quote from Crown directly, or through a broker or comparison service. With Love Energy Savings, you can compare Crown alongside other suppliers on our panel in one place:
Switching doesn't interrupt your supply, as every supplier uses the same wires and pipes. Ofgem points out there's no cooling-off period once you agree a business energy contract, so check the terms before you confirm.
How we're paid: the supplier you choose pays us a commission, which is included in your unit rate. Ofgem's rules mean information on broker costs included in your bill must be set out in your contract's principal terms and given to you on request. Read how we get paid for a worked example.
If you're a microbusiness, Crown says it will write to you at least 60 days before your contract end date with your renewal offer. If you don't accept it or switch, your contract ends on the end date, and you move to Crown's Out of Contract rates. You don't have to wait for that letter. Through Love Energy Savings, you can lock in your next deal up to 18 months before your current contract ends, and it starts when your current deal finishes. How far ahead you can fix depends on the supplier.
Ofgem classifies you as a microbusiness if you have fewer than 10 employees (or their full-time equivalent) and an annual turnover or balance sheet of no more than £2 million, or if you use no more than 100,000 kWh of electricity or 293,000 kWh of gas a year. According to Citizens Advice:
If your business isn't a microbusiness, these rules don't apply, so check your contract for any notice period and how to give notice. Crown also says you need to have paid everything you owe it before you switch, and that it can block the transfer if you haven't. Leaving a fixed contract before its end date can mean an exit fee, so plan your switch for your end date. You can compare business energy renewals to see how Crown's offer stacks up.
Every licensed electricity supplier must publish the mix of fuels behind the electricity it supplies. Crown's latest disclosure covers 1 April 2025 to 31 March 2026. All the electricity Crown supplied in that period came from renewable sources, all of it wind, compared with a UK average of 48% renewables.
| Energy source | Crown Gas & Power | UK average |
|---|---|---|
| Renewables | 100% | 48.0% |
| Nuclear | 0% | 13.7% |
| Natural gas | 0% | 31.4% |
| Coal | 0% | 4.7% |
| Other fuels | 0% | 2.2% |

The fuel mix covers electricity only, not gas. Renewable electricity claims are usually backed by certificates such as Renewable Energy Guarantees of Origin (REGOs), which match renewable generation to the electricity a supplier sells over the year. Our guides explain what a REGO-backed tariff does and doesn't prove and how to prove your energy is green, or you can compare renewable business energy tariffs.
Crown Gas & Power is part of the family-owned Crown Oil group, based in Bury, Greater Manchester.

Crown started supplying gas to businesses in 2001.
No. Crown Gas & Power supplies gas and electricity to businesses only, from single sites to multi-site organisations and property managing agents.
Crown Gas & Power ranked 1st in the Citizens Advice non-domestic supplier table for April to June 2026, with 0.0 weighted complaints per 10,000 customers (11.2 in January to March 2026). The table measures complaints, not prices, so compare price and contract terms before you decide.
Crown says its contracts run from 12 to 60 months, and every contract is subject to its credit checks. Its YouFix plans fix your price for the contract term you choose.
Yes. Crown's fuel mix for 1 April 2025 to 31 March 2026 was 100% renewable, all from wind, and it offers renewable electricity backed by REGO certificates. For gas, it offers blends of 10%, 25%, 50% or 100% biomethane, tracked through the Green Gas Certification Scheme. Biomethane costs more than natural gas.
If you don't agree a renewal or switch, Crown moves you to its Out of Contract rates from your contract end date. These are generally more expensive than contract rates and can change at any time. Microbusinesses get a renewal offer at least 60 days before the end date, and through Love Energy Savings you can lock in your next deal up to 18 months ahead, depending on the supplier.
Deemed rates are what Crown charges when you're in premises it supplies and no contract has been agreed. Crown publishes them monthly, and says they're generally more expensive than contract rates and can change at any time. Agree a contract or switch as soon as you move in.
Use Crown's complaints process first, ideally in writing, and keep a record. You can call 0161 762 7744 or email [email protected]. If your complaint isn't resolved after 8 weeks, or you get a deadlock letter, microbusinesses and small businesses can take it to the Energy Ombudsman for free.

Out-of-contract and deemed rates
Crown Gas & Power supplies energy to non-domestic customers only, such as offices, shops, hospitality venues, factories, landlords and property managing agents. It doesn't supply homes.
The business traces its roots to 1928, when Harry Greensmith, grandfather of Crown's current chairman, sold firelighters, candles and lamp oil from a horse and cart. That business grew into Crown Oil, a fuel and lubricants supplier. Crown says it set up Crown Gas & Power as Crown Oil's energy division in 2001, after the gas market was opened to competition, and it's still family-run today.
Crown's contracts follow business energy rules rather than household ones. Prices are set by quote, the Ofgem energy price cap doesn't apply, and there's no cooling-off period once you agree a contract. Crown says every contract it offers is subject to its credit checks, and that once you accept a contract, moving your supply to Crown can take up to 15 days.
Gas is where Crown started. It lists three types of business gas contracts:
YouFix: Crown's fixed-price plan, with your price agreed for a contract term that suits your business.
Carbon offset gas: bespoke contracts where Crown offsets the emissions from the gas you use.
Green gas: blends of 10%, 25%, 50% or 100% biomethane, explained below.
Crown supplies single sites, multi-meter developments and multi-site businesses, including property managing agents. For an accurate gas quote, it helps to have your annual usage in kWh and your MPRN, although our comparison can find your meter from your postcode. Here's where to find your MPAN and MPRN, or you can compare business gas prices now.
Crown also supplies business electricity to sites with standard (non-half-hourly) and half-hourly meters. It lists three electricity options: YouFix fixed prices, optional renewable electricity backed by REGO certificates, and pricing tailored to your business.
If your premises use a lot of electricity or have a half-hourly meter, you'll usually be priced individually. Our half-hourly meter tariffs page explains how that works. To see how Crown compares with other suppliers for your meter, compare business electricity prices across our panel.
Biomethane is a gas made from organic material, such as food waste and crops, through a process called anaerobic digestion. It's cleaned and injected into the gas grid, where it mixes with natural gas. Crown offers four green gas products:
Bio 100: 100% biomethane.
Bio 50: 50% biomethane and 50% natural gas, with the natural gas emissions offset.
Bio 25: 25% biomethane and 75% natural gas, with the natural gas emissions offset.
Bio 10: 10% biomethane and 90% natural gas, with the natural gas emissions offset. Crown added this blend in 2024.
Crown says all its biomethane is produced in the UK and is tracked through the Green Gas Certification Scheme as Renewable Gas Guarantees of Origin (RGGOs). You get a certificate to show the green gas bought on your behalf. On the blends, Crown offsets the natural gas emissions through Gold Standard or Verified Carbon Standard schemes.
There are two things to weigh up. Biomethane costs more than natural gas, and Crown says there's a limited amount available in the UK. Offsetting also isn't the same as cutting emissions at source. If you want green gas for carbon reporting, Crown itself advises checking with your advisers that biomethane and market-based reporting meet your requirements.
Crown doesn't publish a price list for its contracts. That's normal in the business market: Ofgem notes there are very few published prices for businesses, so you need a quote. Your Crown price will depend on:
your postcode and electricity distribution region
your meter type: standard, smart, automated (AMR) or half-hourly
how much energy you use each year
your contract length
wholesale prices on the day you buy
your business's credit position, as Crown's contracts are subject to its credit checks
the product you choose, as biomethane costs more than natural gas
Business energy isn't covered by the price cap. Your prices are set by the contract you agree with your supplier. Check whether a quote includes VAT and the Climate Change Levy, as Crown's published out-of-contract and deemed rates exclude both.
Every quote has two parts: a unit rate for each kWh you use and a daily standing charge. A low-use or seasonal site can do better with a lower standing charge, while a busy site usually does better with a lower unit rate. Our guide to the unit rate vs standing charge trade-off explains how to choose, and our guide on how to read a business energy bill shows where each charge appears.
About prices on this page: we don't show Crown Gas & Power contract prices here because Crown doesn't publish them and business rates change daily. Any price you see in our comparison is a quote for your meter, usage and contract length on that day. It isn't a typical or guaranteed price.
If your Crown contract ends and you haven't agreed a renewal or switched, Crown moves you to its Out of Contract rates from your contract end date. If you move into premises that Crown supplies and don't agree a contract, you'll pay its Deemed rates. Crown says both are generally more expensive than contract rates, aren't fixed and can change at any time, although it will tell you if they do.
Crown publishes both sets of rates every month, with separate documents for gas and electricity. Gas rates are banded by your annual consumption, electricity rates vary by region, and standing charges are set for each site. Your contract end date appears on your contract, welcome pack, renewal letters and every invoice. Each invoice also shows your contract type, so "Out of Contract" or "Deemed" on a bill tells you which rates you're paying.
Citizens Advice says rollover and out-of-contract tariffs are usually very expensive, and deemed tariffs are usually the most expensive, so it's worth agreeing a deal before your end date. Read our guides on how to avoid rollover and out-of-contract rates and how deemed contracts work. Moving premises? Our change of tenancy guide explains what to do.
