Agreed rates for a set amount of time. Fixed contracts typically provide more budgetary certainty as your rates are known and secure regardless of what happens within the market whilst you’re contracted.Deemed rates:
Tariffs for businesses that have just moved to a new premises and have inherited a supply without agreeing a contract. Switching to a bespoke deal is often beneficial for businesses under these circumstances.Flexible:
A flexible contract allows you to buy your energy strategically, often split into months, quarters or seasons. These deals are typically for larger firms who want to minimise the risk of buying multiple-years’ worth of energy.FAQs

They will thoroughly investigate the circumstances surrounding your existing deal and potentially negotiate your exit from the contract, before finding you a more suitable energy provider based on your firm’s needs and requirements.
