Avoid Price Hikes: What You Need to Know About Corona Energy's Out of Contract Rates

If your contract with Corona Energy has expired or been terminated and you haven’t switched to a new supplier, you’ll automatically move to their out of contract rates. These rates, while ensuring continuity of service, are significantly higher than fixed-term tariffs, resulting in increased costs for your business.



In this blog, we’ll break down Corona Energy’s out of contract rates for gas and electricity, explain the impact on your business, and show you how The Smart Energy Company can help you secure a better deal.

What Are Corona Energy’s Out of Contract Rates?


Corona Energy applies out of contract rates to businesses that continue using their services after their fixed-term agreement ends. These rates include:

  • A unit rate, charged per kilowatt-hour (kWh) of energy consumed.



  • A capacity charge for half-hourly electricity customers to cover distribution network costs.


Note: All rates exclude VAT, Climate Change Levy (CCL), and certain pass-through charges, such as DUoS (Distribution Use of System) and TNUoS (Transmission Network Use of System) fees for half-hourly and non-half-hourly meters.
