When your contract with EDF Energy ends, and no renewal is in place, you’ll automatically be moved onto out-of-contract rates, also referred to as extended supply prices. These rates are typically higher than fixed-term contract rates, making it essential to understand the potential financial impact for your business.

Why You Should Act Quickly
Remaining on out-of-contract rates with EDF Energy can significantly increase your energy costs. At 13.75 p/kWh for gas and 38.35 p/kWh for electricity, these rates are substantially higher than typical market rates for fixed-term contracts. For example, businesses on competitive fixed rates may currently pay 50% to 60% less for electricity and gas.
By locking in a fixed-term contract, your business can avoid unexpected price hikes and gain the stability you need for budget planning.
