❓ Frequently Asked Questions

Why are Dyce Energy's transition rates so extremely expensive?

Dyce Energy's transition rates at 63.4p/kWh electricity and 19.5p/kWh gas are designed to be prohibitively expensive to encourage immediate contract signings. These rates are among the highest out-of-contract rates we've seen in the UK market, often costing businesses 3-4 times more than competitive alternatives.

How much can I realistically save by switching from Dyce transition rates?

Most businesses save up to 70% by switching from Dyce Energy's transition rates to competitive fixed-rate contracts. Given that Dyce charges 63.4p/kWh for electricity when market rates are typically 15-25p/kWh, the savings potential is enormous. A typical business using 50,000 kWh could save £15,000-20,000 annually.

What's the difference between Dyce's various rate structures?

Dyce Energy has multiple expensive rate structures: 63.4p/kWh for standard Non Half-Hourly supplies, complex Half-Hourly rates ranging from 38.5p-70.6p/kWh depending on region and voltage level, and an alternative structure that adds 10p/kWh to day rates and 5p/kWh to night rates above your previous contracted rate. All are significantly above market rates.

Can I switch immediately if I'm on Dyce transition rates?

Yes! Being on transition rates means you have no fixed-term contract restrictions and can switch suppliers immediately without exit fees or penalties. This is one of the few advantages of being on these expensive rates - you can escape them quickly once you find a better deal.

How quickly can Smart Energy Company arrange a switch?

We can typically arrange quotes within hours and complete switches within 21-28 days depending on your meter type and current supplier. Given the extreme cost of Dyce's transition rates, we prioritise urgent switches to minimise your continued exposure to these expensive rates.

Is Smart Energy Company's switching service really free?

Yes, our service is completely free to you. We're paid commission by energy suppliers, which is fully disclosed in your contract. We often access better wholesale rates than suppliers offer to direct customers, meaning you get lower prices through us even with our commission included, plus we handle all the paperwork and switching process.
