April Price Cap Rise – What Does It Actually Mean for You?

If you’ve been keeping up with the news lately, you’ve probably heard about the April Price Cap Rise - but what does that really mean for your business? If you’re confused by the jargon, don’t worry. We’re here to break it all down in simple terms and show you how PPS For Business can help you take back control.

What Is the April Price Cap Rise?

In April, the energy price cap - essentially the maximum price suppliers can charge households - went up. While this mainly applies to domestic energy, the ripple effect impacts businesses too. Why? Because when wholesale prices climb and suppliers pass on higher costs, commercial energy rates rise alongside them.

That means if you’re running a business, you’re likely to feel the pressure of April energy rises, even if you’re on a fixed contract. If you’re on a variable tariff or nearing the end of your current contract, your bills could soon reflect these increases.

What Do Energy Price Cap Rises Mean for Your Business?

In short, it’s going to cost more to keep your lights on.

Even though the energy price cap is for domestic users, many businesses will face indirect consequences:

• New commercial energy contracts are being priced higher.

• Renewal quotes are creeping up.

• Variable tariffs are becoming more volatile.

And with suppliers like EDF and EON making billions in profit (remember the €7 billion EDF reported in just the first half of 2024?), it’s easy to feel like small businesses are being left behind.

So, What Can You Do About It?

That’s where we come in. At PPS For Business, our mission is to cut through the confusion and get you a better deal. We don’t just talk, we deliver real results:
