Where your p/kWh actually goes
Indicative split for a UK I&C electricity bill in 2026, sourced from Cornwall Insight's non-commodity cost research. Your meter, region and contract type shift the exact mix, but the four components are always present.
- Wholesale energy, 38%Gas or power bought on the wholesale market. The figure most coverage focuses on.
- Non-commodity costs, 53%Network charges (DUoS, TNUoS), policy levies (RO, FiT, CfD, Capacity Market), CCL and balancing costs.
- Supplier margin, 6%What the supplier earns. Always priced into the unit rate.
- Broker margin, 3%What we earn for tendering and managing the contract. Shown separately on every Purely Energy quote.
Who E.ON Next Business may suit
Best suited to UK SME and microbusiness customers that want a mainstream supplier with fixed-term business contracts, online account management, and public support channels. The public material indicates support for deemed and out-of-contract situations, but pricing is generally quote-based rather than openly published for business customers.
Trading name and licence-holder notes
The licence holder shown in Ofgem context is E.ON UK PLC, while the customer-facing business brand is E.ON Next Business. The business terms also reference E.ON Energy Solutions Limited and E.ON Next Energy Limited, so the operating and legal entities appear to sit within the wider E.ON group rather than under a single trading name.
Switching from E.ON Next Business to a fixed business contract
UK businesses can switch electricity supply away from E.ON Next Business once their fixed contract ends, or after resolving any open objection or termination-window issue. The process is the same for every supplier on the non-domestic market, but a few checks done in the right order make the transfer materially faster.
- 1. Find your contract end date. It's on your last renewal letter or the most recent bill from E.ON Next Business. Most non-domestic contracts have a 1 to 6 month termination window before that date, outside of which you may auto-roll onto a new fixed term.
- 2. Get your MPAN ready. The 21-digit MPAN (electricity) and 6 to 10-digit MPRN (gas) uniquely identify each meter and are needed for any competing quote. Both appear on your bill.
- 3. Compare against the live market. E.ON Next Business doesn't publish standard out-of-contract rates, so request a written renewal quote first and benchmark it against live market prices before agreeing anything. Purely Energy can run your meters against the wider UK panel and come back with the cheapest fixed offers.
- 4. Settle the final bill and clear any objections. E.ON Next Business will issue a final bill within 6 weeks of supply transferring. If a balance is outstanding, they can object to the switch under industry rules, so clear it before the transfer date to avoid a hold.
- 5. Sign the new contract. Once the new supplier has your MPAN/MPRN and signed contract, the transfer typically completes within 4 to 8 weeks. There is no break in supply, you simply receive your first bill from the new supplier.
