What Are Out-of-Contract Rates, and Why Are They More Expensive?

Out-of-contract rates apply when a business hasn’t renewed its energy contract or is waiting for a new one to start. These rates are publicly available on suppliers' websites and are often much higher than standard contract rates—sometimes twice as high or more. Businesses on these rates pay significantly more for their energy.

What Is Market-Wide Half-Hourly Settlement (MHHS), and How Does It Benefit Small Businesses?

Market-Wide Half-Hourly Settlement (MHHS) uses smart meters to record energy consumption in 30-minute intervals, making energy billing more accurate. While currently benefiting larger commercial consumers, MHHS will soon be mandated across the industry, offering small businesses new opportunities to optimise energy use and costs. By storing energy during off-peak hours and using it during peak times, businesses can lower their bills and reduce emissions.

What is Load Factor and Why Monitor It?

Load factor measures how consistently a business uses electricity. A high load factor means steady energy use, which can lead to lower rates because it helps utilities predict demand. A low load factor indicates irregular use, leading to higher costs due to unpredictable demand. Monitoring load factor helps identify inefficiencies and optimise energy use. With VoltView, you can easily track your load factor and get insights to reduce energy costs. Signup here.

Why Isn’t There a Standard Rate for Business Electricity?

Business electricity rates vary because they depend on location, usage patterns, and market conditions. Businesses have unique energy needs and consume electricity at different times, affecting pricing. VoltView provides tailored rate comparisons based on your specific energy use to help you find the best deal.
