EDF Energy Business – Prices, Tariffs & Reviews 2026
Last reviewed: 12th November 2026
EDF supplies electricity and gas to businesses of all sizes in Great Britain, from single shops and offices to large organisations with half-hourly meters. Small businesses can fix their prices for 1, 2, 3 or 4 years, or choose EDF's Fixed Renewable tariff, and larger businesses can choose fixed-price or flexible contracts. EDF doesn't publish a fixed price list for business contracts, so to see what EDF would charge you, you need a quote for your meter and usage.

About EDF business energy
EDF supplies energy to homes and businesses across Great Britain and generates electricity from nuclear, wind and solar power. EDF says it has helped power Britain for over 25 years. It's part of the EDF Group, the French energy company, and its UK supply business trades as EDF Energy Customers Ltd.
EDF describes itself as Britain's biggest generator of zero-carbon electricity. By its own figures, it generated 27.9 TWh of zero-carbon electricity in 2025, which it says was 14.8% of the UK total. EDF also points out that customers get their electricity through the National Grid, not directly from its power stations.
EDF's business 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. EDF says that once you've agreed a business energy contract, you can't leave early without paying fees.
EDF has a dedicated small business team for businesses using less than 100 MWh of electricity or up to 300 MWh of gas a year. It says it offers fixed tariffs for 1, 2, 3 or 4 years, which keep your unit rates and standing charges the same for the whole contract. Your total bill still goes up or down with how much energy you use.
EDF says you can get a small business quote online, and that it offers a discount if you pay by Direct Debit. If you have a smart meter, you can use Energy Hub in MyAccount to track your usage. To see how EDF compares with other suppliers for your meter, compare business electricity prices or compare business gas prices across our panel.
Larger businesses are looked after by EDF's large business team. EDF offers them fixed-price contracts for gas, electricity or both, and flexible contracts that let you spread your electricity purchases over time and choose which costs to fix. EDF's flexible contract guide lists terms from 1 to 3 years up to 5 years or more.
A flexible contract gives you more control over when you buy, but you take on more wholesale price risk. 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.
EDF doesn't publish a fixed price list for its business contracts. That's normal in the business market: Ofgem notes there are very few published prices for businesses, so you need a quote. Your EDF price depends on:
your postcode and electricity distribution region
your meter type, such as standard, Economy 7, smart 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
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 EDF contract prices here because EDF doesn't publish them and business rates change daily. Any price you see in our comparison is a live quote for your meter, usage and contract length on that day. It isn't a typical or guaranteed price.
Freedom for Business, out-of-contract and deemed rates
If you're an EDF small business customer and your fixed tariff ends without a new deal, EDF moves you to its Freedom for Business tariff. EDF says this could mean higher prices, and recommends arranging a new fixed deal before your current contract ends. Large business customers have separate out-of-contract terms, so check your contract.
If you move into premises that EDF supplies and don't agree a contract, you'll pay EDF's deemed rates. EDF says deemed tariffs are typically the most expensive rates a supplier offers. EDF publishes its Freedom for Business and deemed prices on its website.
Citizens Advice also says rollover and out-of-contract tariffs are usually very expensive, so it's worth agreeing a new 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 on moving day.

Is EDF right for your business?
| EDF suits you if… | Look at other options if… |
|---|---|
| You want to fix your price for up to 4 years | Price is your only priority: EDF isn't always the cheapest on the day |
| You want a renewable-backed electricity tariff on a fixed price | Independent complaint data matters most to you (see below) |
| You're a large or multi-site business that wants flexible purchasing | You might need to leave before your fixed term ends, as exit fees apply |
| You have a smart meter and want to track usage in Energy Hub | You'd rather not commit to a fixed term of a year or more |
The best way to decide is to compare EDF with other suppliers for your own meter, usage and contract length. Sometimes EDF will be the cheapest option and sometimes it won't, so it pays to see the full picture before you sign.
What independent data says about EDF
Citizens Advice publishes a league table that ranks business energy suppliers by weighted complaints made to independent bodies, adjusted for the number of business customers each supplier has. A lower score is better. In the table published in September 2026, EDF ranked 8th of the 15 suppliers ranked for April to June 2026:
- April to June 2026: 413.3
- January to March 2026: 382.6
Please note: this table measures complaints, not prices or contract terms. Weigh it alongside price, contract length and how you want to manage your account. Source: Citizens Advice, non-domestic energy supplier performance, published September 2026 and checked 12 November 2026.
How to get an EDF business energy quote
You can get a quote from EDF directly, or through a comparison service. EDF says its cheapest small business prices are available direct from EDF online. Comparing with Love Energy Savings lets you see EDF next to other suppliers on our panel before you decide:
- Enter your postcode. We find your meter and estimated usage.
- Compare prices. See EDF next to other UK suppliers for the same contract length, and choose the deal that suits you.
- We handle the switch. We manage the move for you and keep you updated at every step.
Switching doesn't interrupt your supply, as every supplier uses the same wires and pipes. 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. This means the price you see through us can differ from the price EDF offers you directly. 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.
Renewing your EDF business contract
You don't have to wait for EDF's renewal letter. Through Love Energy Savings you can lock in your next deal up to 18 months before your current contract ends, so your next price is agreed early and starts when your current deal finishes. If you don't agree a new deal, small business customers move to Freedom for Business when their fixed tariff ends.
If your business is a microbusiness, you get extra protections. Ofgem classes 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:
- your supplier should let you know your switching options when your fixed term is ending
- once your fixed term has ended, you can switch at any time without paying a fee or giving notice
- any roll-over period in your contract can't be more than 12 months
- on a contract with no end date (an evergreen contract), you might have to give up to 30 days' notice
Leaving a fixed contract before its end date means an exit fee, so check your terms and plan your switch for your end date. You can compare business energy renewals to see how the EDF offer stacks up.
Already an EDF business customer?
- Log in: manage your bills, payments and tariff details in MyAccount. The "Tariff details" section shows your tariff name, unit rates and standing charges.
- Track your usage: if you have a smart meter, Energy Hub in MyAccount shows how much energy you use.
- Moving premises: tell EDF and give a meter reading on the day you move. If you move into premises EDF supplies, agree a contract quickly to avoid deemed rates.
- Check a back bill: if you're a microbusiness, Ofgem's back-billing rules mean you don't have to pay for energy used more than 12 months ago if you hadn't had an accurate bill for it, hadn't been told what you owed in a statement of account, or your Direct Debit had been set too low. This doesn't apply if you acted unreasonably, for example by blocking access to your meter.
- Make a complaint: small business customers can call EDF on 0330 912 9959 or email [email protected]. If it 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. Small businesses gained access on 19 December 2024.
EDF fuel mix and zero carbon claims
Every licensed electricity supplier must publish the mix of fuels behind the electricity it supplies. Citizens Advice's EDF profile, checked 12 November 2026, lists EDF's fuel mix as:
- Nuclear: 54%
- Renewables: 20%
- Fossil fuels: 24%
- Other: 2%
Source: Citizens Advice, EDF Energy profile, checked 12 November 2026. Each disclosure covers a 12-month period from 1 April to 31 March. For the breakdown by tariff, including CO2 emissions and radioactive waste, see EDF's own fuel mix disclosure.
Nuclear power produces no CO2 when it generates electricity, but it does create radioactive waste. Renewable and zero carbon tariffs are usually backed by certificates rather than a direct supply from a particular power station. EDF says its Fixed Renewable tariff matches each unit you use with a UK REGO. Our guides explain how to prove your energy is green, or you can compare renewable business energy tariffs.
