If your energy contract with Ruby Energy has ended and you haven’t agreed to a new deal or switched suppliers, your business will automatically be placed on what’s called a ‘Default’ contract—also known as out-of-contract (OOC) rates. These rates are typically higher than negotiated contract rates, which can lead to increased energy costs for your business. Below, we provide the latest Ruby Energy OOC rates and explain how you can avoid paying these elevated prices by securing a personalised energy quote with us.
Ruby Energy Out-of-Contract Rates (Correct as of 18/09/2024)
If you’ve been placed on Ruby Energy’s Default contract, the following out-of-contract rates will apply:
Electricity:
Standing Charge (pence per day) | Consumption (pence per kWh) | |
Non Half Hourly (PC 01-08) | 300 | 46.2 |
Half Hourly (PC 00) | 500 | 42.7 |
Gas:
AQ BAND | Standing Charge (pence per day) | Consumption (pence per kWh) |
0 - 73,200 kWh | 450 | 11.96 |
73,201 - 293,000 kWh | 600 | 7.86 |
293,001 Above | 850 | 7.86 |
What Are Out-of-Contract Rates and Why Should You Act?
Out-of-contract rates, also referred to as “Default” contracts, are significantly higher than the rates you would pay under a fixed-term or negotiated energy deal. If your business has been placed on Ruby Energy’s Default contract, you’re likely paying more for your energy than necessary.
Out-of-contract rates are meant to be temporary, so it’s crucial to act fast to avoid these elevated costs. Renewing your contract or switching suppliers can save your business a substantial amount in energy expenses.
