Pozitive Energy Out of Contract Rates 2025
Your business energy rates explained
If your fixed-rate contract with Pozitive Energy has ended and you haven't switched, you're on their deemed and out-of-contract rates. Uniform rates apply across all meter types with additional pass-through charges that vary by location.
What This Means for Your Business
If your fixed-rate contract with Pozitive Energy has ended and you haven't switched, you're on their deemed and out-of-contract rates. These uniform base rates apply across all electricity tariff types and gas meters. However, your actual bill includes significant pass-through charges for distribution, transmission, capacity, and regulatory levies. These additional charges vary by meter type, location, and DNO region, so your total standing charge is considerably higher than the base 150p/day shown below.
💡 Pozitive Energy Base Rates
| Energy Type / Tariff | Standing Charge | Unit Rate |
|---|---|---|
| ⚡ Electricity (All Tariff Types) | 150.00p per day (base only) | 35p per kWh |
| 🔥 Gas (All Meters) | 150.00p per day (base only) | 8p per kWh |
*Base standing charges only. Additional pass-through charges for distribution, transmission, capacity, levies, and VAT apply on top and vary by meter type and location.
Important: Pass-Through Charges Apply
Pozitive Energy adds significant pass-through charges on top of the base rates shown above. These include distribution fixed charges, transmission network charges, capacity charges, and regulatory levies (Nuclear RAB Levy, Green Gas Levy, etc.). Your actual standing charge will be substantially higher than 150p/day. The exact amount depends on your meter type, voltage level, and DNO region. Contact Pozitive Energy directly for your specific charges or request a detailed rate schedule.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions
Check your latest Pozitive Energy bill. If your contract ended and you didn't actively choose a new one, you're likely on their deemed/out-of-contract rates. You can also log into your Pozitive Energy account online or contact their customer service to confirm your tariff status.
Absolutely! Being on out-of-contract rates means you're free to switch anytime with no exit fees or penalties. The switching process typically takes 2–5 days, and your energy supply continues uninterrupted throughout. Your electricity and gas flows through the same National Grid, so you'll have no break in service.
Most businesses save 20-50% when switching from out-of-contract rates to a fixed contract. In exceptional cases, savings can reach 70%+. For a typical business, this translates to £1,000–£8,000+ per year. Exact savings depend on your consumption, meter type, location, and current market rates.

Pass-through charges cover the costs that suppliers incur but don't directly control: distribution network charges (for local power lines), transmission charges (for National Grid), capacity charges (for maintaining your supply capacity), and regulatory levies (government-mandated environmental/nuclear levies). These vary by region and meter type, which is why your actual standing charge is significantly higher than the base rate. Suppliers are required to pass these costs through to customers.
Pozitive Energy may have frozen their deemed rate base as a business decision, or their out-of-contract pricing may only adjust periodically. However, pass-through charges (distribution, transmission, levies) do change regularly based on DNO and wholesale market adjustments. Your total bill may increase even if the base rate stays at 35p/kWh. This is another reason to lock a fixed contract — you get full price certainty.
No, your energy supply is never interrupted when switching suppliers. The switch happens behind the scenes through the National Grid system. You'll continue receiving electricity and gas without any disruption. The only changes you'll notice are lower bills and correspondence from your new supplier instead of Pozitive Energy.
We don't charge you anything. Our service is completely free. We're paid a commission by energy suppliers, which is fully disclosed in your contract paperwork. Here's why using us makes sense: we have access to wholesale base rates that suppliers don't offer when you contact them directly. This means we can often secure better deals than you'd get going to suppliers yourself — even with our commission included. Plus, we save you the time and hassle of contacting dozens of suppliers individually.
