If your business’s energy contract with SSE Energy has ended and you haven’t signed a new agreement, your business will be automatically placed on out-of-contract rates . These rates are generally higher than those offered under fixed-term contracts, making it essential to secure a new deal to avoid increased costs.

Why It’s Important to Act Quickly
Staying on SSE Energy’s out-of-contract rates can result in significantly higher energy bills. With electricity unit rates reaching as high as 34.77 p/kWh and gas rates at 9.25 p/kWh, these costs are much higher than market averages for fixed-term contracts, which can be significantly lower.
By locking in a fixed-term contract, you not only gain price stability but also secure better rates, protecting your business from further price hikes.
