Important: We are not TotalEnergies. We’re an independent energy consultancy sharing these updates to help businesses avoid costly out-of-contract rates and secure better deals from over 28 suppliers.

⚠️ What Are Deemed (Out of Contract) Rates?


If your energy contract with TotalEnergies Gas & Power expires and you don’t agree a new deal or switch supplier, you’ll automatically move onto Deemed Rates—also known as Out of Contract (OOC) rates.

These rates are:


✅ Higher than contracted prices
✅ Flexible—you can leave any time without penalty
✅ Subject to change without much notice

*For Annual Quantities (AQ) exceeding 732,000 kWh, a site-specific daily standing charge may apply.

🕒 Why You Should Act Quickly


Remaining on deemed rates can significantly increase your energy costs. Risks include:


  • Higher daily charges—up to double typical contract rates
  • Zero price protection—rates can rise at any time
  • Lost savings—market rates could be far lower



✅ The good news? With TotalEnergies, you’re free to switch or renegotiate at any time while on deemed rates—there are no exit fees.

📅 What Happens If You Do Nothing?


TotalEnergies confirms that if your contract ends and you haven’t renewed or moved supplier, you’ll be placed on these deemed rates.



You’re free to leave when you wish, but every extra day on these rates adds unnecessary cost to your business.
