Fixed electricity contract for businesses
With a fixed electricity contract, you lock in the price per kWh for the entire contract period. Regardless of market movements, you always pay the same price – perfect for businesses that value security and budget predictability.
How does it work?
When you sign a fixed electricity contract, you agree on a price per kWh that applies for the entire lock-in period – usually 1, 2, or 3 years. The price is based on market future expectations at the time of signing.
The fixed price does not include grid fees, energy tax, or VAT – these are added separately. It's important to compare the pure electricity price between suppliers, not just the total monthly cost.
Advantages
- Full predictability – same price every month
- Simple budgeting without surprises
- Protection against price increases and seasonal variations
- Perfect for businesses with tight liquidity
Disadvantages
- No ability to benefit from price drops
- Often a higher entry price than variable
- Lock-in period of typically 1–3 years
Is a fixed contract right for your business?
A fixed contract is ideal for businesses that need full control over their electricity costs – for example, manufacturing companies with high fixed costs or operations with tight budgets. It's particularly suitable if you want to avoid the risk of price spikes during winter months.
