E.ON Next deemed
& out-of-contract guide.
The published business deemed rates vary by region and supply category. The prices below are the SME tables in the linked PDFs, not the domestic Next Flex prices.
Deemed supply
You are responsible for energy use without an agreed supply contract, for example after moving into premises. The tables and calculator here cover the published deemed schedule.
Fixed plan ended
E.ON Next says customers who do not renew move to its Variable Price Plan. Your renewal letter or tariff notice is needed to confirm the actual prices.
Out of contract
The supplier describes separate out-of-contract prices after ending the contract and before a switch completes. Do not assume the deemed figures below apply.
We have not verified a separate current numeric business VPP or out-of-contract table from the sources checked. See E.ON Next’s explanation ↗ or send us your bill for a tariff check →.

LV / LV Sub and HV: standing, capacity and excess-capacity charges
These are the supplier’s separate unrestricted LV/LV Sub and HV schedules. Check the voltage, residual band, region and agreed kVA from your bill. A smart meter or half-hourly data alone does not identify the correct price row.
Capacity and excess-capacity prices are quoted in pence per kVA per day. They are additional to the unit and standing charges. For example, Merseyside LV/LV Sub Band 1 has a 1,624p/day standing charge and 6.9p/kVA/day capacity rate. At 100 kVA that capacity element alone is £2,518.50 a year before tax.

The gas source uses the same numbered regional headings shown here; these are not LDZ codes. Confirm the gas region with the supplier if unclear. The supplier publishes one standard gas row per region, without separate annual-consumption bands.
Why the effective date differs from the PDF date
The supplier’s index and both PDF covers say 1 October 2026. The SME electricity and gas tables themselves are explicitly dated 04/09/2026. We identify these business prices as effective 4 September 2026. The domestic tariff date does not replace the date printed on the business tables.
Sources checked 20 October 2026. Rates may change; use your account’s applicable price notice and category.
What could those
rates cost you?
Estimate the published charges using your actual meter setup and annual consumption. VAT and CCL appear only in the cost totals.
Use your supplier region / distributor area. Do not select a tariff band from consumption alone.
All units: 44.3p/kWh · Standing: 300.0p/day
Check the source table ↗The starting 50,000 kWh is an illustration. Replace it with your usage. For multi-rate supplies enter every register, including an explicit zero where appropriate. These figures are deemed rates, not a confirmed VPP or out-of-contract quote for your account.
VAT, CCL and qualifying-use relief
Standard business mode uses 20% VAT and CCL of 0.801p/kWh, the main electricity and gas rate from 1 April 2026. VAT is calculated on the charges including CCL. The scheduled CCL rate from 1 April 2027 is 0.827p/kWh.
For confirmed qualifying use, the current snapshot uses no CCL, 5% VAT for gas, and temporary 0% VAT for qualifying electricity in Great Britain from 1 October 2026 to 31 March 2027. It does not apply this relief automatically from annual usage or charity status. Mixed use and Climate Change Agreement reductions need a separate check.
These are annualised illustrations at the stated snapshot, not forecasts of tax or prices over the next twelve months. HMRC CCL ↗ · HMRC VAT guidance ↗
Check the contract.
Then plan the switch.
A requirement to give notice depends on your contract and the protections that apply to your business. “SME” alone does not answer it.
Check my contract position ↗Microbusiness fixed-term contracts
Ofgem removed termination-notice requirements for microbusiness contracts from 1 October 2022, with an exception for evergreen contracts. This does not normally let you leave a fixed period early.
An ongoing variable plan can differ
E.ON Next’s Variable Price Plan terms contain 30-day notice wording. Evergreen contracts are the exception in Ofgem’s microbusiness rule, so we check the actual plan before telling you that no notice is needed.
Deemed supply and other businesses
Deemed contracts have specific switching protections, including no termination-notice requirement under the supply licence. Larger-business fixed and variable agreements can have different terms. We check any permitted objection, debt and intended start date rather than promising an immediate switch.
