Out-of-contract (deemed) business energy rates apply when a fixed contract expires without a new deal in place. These rates are set by the supplier and are typically 30% to 50% higher than contracted rates. Ofgem's Business Energy Code of Practice requires suppliers to notify micro-businesses before contracts expire and to offer reasonable out-of-contract rates. Switching supplier from an out-of-contract position typically has no exit fees (Ofgem, Business Energy Code of Practice, 2026). |
