  • Gas rates are tiered — higher annual consumption leads to higher daily standing charges but same unit rate
  • Half-hourly meters cost more — £11.36/day vs £3.09/day for standard meters, plus capacity charges
  • Rates subject to change — Corona Energy can adjust these rates with notice periods
  • Fixed contracts offer protection — locking in rates eliminates uncertainty and often reduces costs

Additional Charges Apply

❓ Frequently Asked Questions

What are DUoS and TNUoS charges with Corona Energy?

DUoS (Distribution Use of System) and TNUoS (Transmission Network Use of System) are network charges that cover the cost of transporting energy through the UK's distribution and transmission networks. Corona Energy passes these through separately on top of their quoted rates, which can add significant costs to your bill. These charges vary by location and consumption profile.

Why are Corona Energy's gas standing charges so high for larger consumers?

Corona Energy uses a tiered standing charge structure for gas based on Annual Quantity (AQ). Higher consumption businesses pay higher daily standing charges - for example, Band 5 customers pay £63.15/day vs £7.08/day for Band 1. This structure means larger consumers face significantly higher fixed daily costs, making it particularly important for high-consumption businesses to compare supplier options.

Can I switch suppliers while on Corona Energy's Out of Contract rates?

Yes, being on Out of Contract rates means you're not tied into a fixed-term agreement and can switch suppliers at any time without exit fees. This gives you the flexibility to move to a better deal immediately. The switching process typically takes 2-5 days with no disruption to your energy supply.

How do Corona Energy's rates compare to market averages?

Corona Energy's current electricity rates (37.04p/kWh NHH, 35.86p/kWh HH) and gas rates (6.12p/kWh) are competitive with many suppliers' standard variable rates. However, when you add the pass-through distribution charges and compare total costs, fixed-rate contracts from competitive suppliers often provide better value and price certainty.

What happens to my contract terms when I'm on Out of Contract rates?

Your original Terms and Conditions from your expired contract remain in place when you move to Corona Energy's Out of Contract rates. Only the pricing changes - all other contractual arrangements, service standards, and billing arrangements continue as before until you actively switch to a new supplier or negotiate a new contract.

How much does Smart Energy Company charge for switching services?

Our service is completely free. We're paid a commission by energy suppliers when you switch, which is fully disclosed in your contract paperwork. We often secure better wholesale rates than suppliers offer direct customers, meaning you can get better deals through us even with our commission included. Plus, we save you the time of contacting multiple suppliers individually.
