Plans and pricing for business

Meridian offers power plans for businesses of all sizes, with clear, competitive pricing and expert guidance to help manage your energy efficiently.

Fixed Energy Plan

The energy portion of your rate is fixed for the term (usually 2 years) and will not change. The energy portion covers energy cost and retail services (e.g., meter reading, customer support), except in certain circumstances. 

Other charges (e.g., network, government, regulatory) may change on notice.

Fixed Energy Plan terms, conditions and eligibility criteria apply.

Most connections are Non-Half Hourly (NHH) and won’t be billed based on time-of-use unless you have a specific meter tariff, such as Night/Day, which defines your pricing structure. Learn about tariff options on our Meter tariff change page.

Larger connections, called Commercial and Industrial (C&I) or Time of Use (TOU), are billed based on the time-of-use. These require a Corporate Customer Electricity Supply Agreement (CCESA) before Meridian can supply the site. Information about pricing options for TOU sites is below. 

Use a lot of power?

We offer a range of tailored energy plans specifically designed for Commercial and Industrial (C&I) operations, also known as Time of Use (TOU).
