Demystifying Deemed Rates

Deemed rates kick in when you move into a property and start using the existing energy supply without a formal contract. While they're a temporary solution, they often come at a higher cost. Here's what you need to know:

What are deemed rates?

  • When you move into a new property and use the existing energy supply without a negotiated contract, you're charged at deemed rates. It's a temporary measure until you select an energy plan.

Setting the Rates:

  • While utility companies set these rates, regulations cap the price to ensure fairness. However, without a negotiated contract, you might end up paying more than necessary.

Deemed vs. Out-of-Contract Rates:

  • Deemed rates apply when you've never had a contract with the supplier, while out-of-contract rates apply when a contract ends, and a new one isn't negotiated.

Why the Higher Cost?

  • Without a negotiated contract, suppliers move customers onto deemed rates, which can be more expensive than negotiated rates.

Why Are They Higher?

  1. Lack of Negotiation: Without a set contract, suppliers charge default higher rates.

  2. Risk Perception: No contract means uncertainty for suppliers, leading to higher charges.

  3. Administrative Overheads: Managing non-contracted customers often incurs extra costs.

  4. Complacency: Suppliers know many customers aren't actively seeking better deals.

  5. Temporary Nature: Deemed rates are short-term, lacking the benefits of long-term contracts.

  6. Regulatory Caps: While there are limits, they're still set above typical contract rates.

Switching to a negotiated contract can secure more favorable energy prices.
