Octopus Energy has introduced an innovative No Standing Charge Tariff for businesses, eliminating the fixed daily fees typically associated with energy plans. This means companies are billed solely based on their actual energy consumption, offering a more transparent and usage-based billing structure.
Key Features of the No Standing Charge Tariff:
- Cost Efficiency: Ideal for businesses with lower energy usage, this tariff can lead to significant savings by removing daily standing charges.
- Fixed Rates: The tariff provides a fixed unit rate for a 12-month period, ensuring stability in energy costs.
- 100% Green Electricity: Octopus Energy continues its commitment to sustainability by supplying renewable electricity under this plan.
- Award-Winning Customer Service: Subscribers benefit from Octopus Energy’s renowned customer support.
Eligibility and Considerations:
- Consumption Bands: The tariff is available to businesses within electricity consumption bands 2, 3, or 4. Those with usage at the lower end of their respective bands are likely to experience the most savings.
- Unit Rates Adjustment: While the standing charge is removed, the equivalent cost is incorporated into the unit rate. Therefore, businesses with higher energy consumption may find this tariff less beneficial.
- Trial Phase: Currently, the tariff is in a trial phase, allowing Octopus Energy to refine the offering based on customer feedback and operational performance.
