What Does Out of Contract Business Energy Mean?

What does "out-of-contract" business energy mean?
Out-of-contract business energy refers to the rates you pay when your energy contract has expired and you haven't signed a new one. These rates are typically much higher than contracted rates, often up to 45% more.

Why are out-of-contract rates higher?

Suppliers charge higher rates for out-of-contract energy to cover the risks associated with providing energy without a fixed agreement. These rates can be significantly more expensive than those in a negotiated contract.

How can I avoid out-of-contract rates?

To avoid out-of-contract rates, ensure you renew your energy contract before it expires. Direct Utilities can help you find the best rates and manage your contract renewals to prevent falling into out-of-contract status.
