What Are Crown Gas & Power's Out of Contract Rates?

Why Avoid Crown Gas & Power’s Out of Contract Rates?


  1. Higher Costs – Electricity rates exceed 37p/kWh, while gas rates remain over 7p/kWh, significantly higher than most fixed-term deals.

  2. Unpredictable Pricing – Rates may change monthly, and in some cases, even mid-month due to wholesale market fluctuations.

  3. Site-Specific Charges – Daily standing charges for both gas and electricity vary based on location, making costs difficult to predict.
