D-ENERGi Out of Contract Rates – April 2025 Update
Are You on D-ENERGi’s Deemed Rates Without Realising?
When your energy contract with D-ENERGi ends and no new agreement is in place—or a switch to another supplier hasn’t occurred—you’ll automatically be moved onto their deemed (out of contract) rates. These are designed to maintain supply, but they come with significantly higher costs than fixed contracts.
In this blog, we’ll highlight:
- The latest gas and electricity OOC prices for April 2025
- Why staying on deemed rates is risky
- What your next steps should be

âš Why Deemed Rates Are Dangerous for Your Business
Out-of-contract or deemed pricing might not seem too bad at first glance, but here’s what you’re not seeing:

No price security — D-ENERGi’s rates change monthly
✅
Higher unit rates than fixed-term deals from the same supplier
✅
No negotiated discounts or protection from market spikes
✅
Additional pass-through costs may also apply to HH customers

📉
You could be paying 30–50% more than necessary.
