What is a Day-Ahead tariff?
A day-ahead tariff is an electricity contract where prices are set one day in advance, based on wholesale market forecasts. Instead of paying a fixed unit price for energy, businesses see their rates change every 24 hours depending on market conditions.
These tariffs are linked directly to the wholesale energy market, which means the price reflects the real cost of generating and supplying electricity at that time.
How does it help your business?
Day-ahead tariffs are particularly useful for businesses that can plan and adapt their energy use with short notice. With access to price information for the next day, businesses can:
Schedule smartly by planning energy-intensive activities at times when the cost will be lower
Save money by avoiding high-cost periods and taking advantage of cheaper rates
Support sustainability by using energy when the grid is likely to be powered by more renewable sources, such as wind or solar
Stay resilient by learning how energy prices move and adjusting operations accordingly
At PE, we work with businesses to identify if a day-ahead tariff makes sense for their operations. For some, it creates an opportunity to reduce costs and demonstrate flexibility in a changing energy landscape.
