Business Energy for Farms & Rural Businesses
Business electricity and gas comparison for UK farms, agricultural businesses and rural enterprises — including single-phase and three-phase supplies.
Agricultural energy patterns
Different farm types have very different profiles — dairies with continuous refrigeration; arable with seasonal grain drying spikes; poultry with steady environmental heating and ventilation.
VAT and rural supply notes
Farms using energy for domestic-adjacent purposes may qualify for the reduced 5% VAT rate on the residential portion. Rural three-phase supplies sometimes require careful DNO liaison at renewal.
Typical usage guidance
Farm electricity consumption varies enormously — from 15,000 kWh/year for a small operation to 200,000+ kWh for dairies, grain drying and cold storage.
