If your fixed contract with Pozitive Energy has ended and you haven't switched, you're on their deemed rates. Here's exactly what that's costing you — and what to do about it.
What Does "Out of Contract" Mean?
When your fixed-rate energy contract ends and you don't renew or switch, you automatically move onto your supplier's "out of contract" or "deemed" rates. These are the highest tariffs a supplier charges — designed to push you into actively choosing a new deal. Unlike a fixed contract, OOC rates carry no price protection and can change at any time with limited notice.
⚠️ Pass-Through Charges Apply on Top
The rates below are Pozitive Energy's base rates only. Your actual bill will also include pass-through charges for distribution (paid to your regional DNO), transmission (National Grid), capacity charges, and government-mandated levies. These vary by location and meter type and add significantly to your standing charge.

🔍 Why Are OOC Rates So Expensive?
They're designed to push you to act
Out-of-contract rates are deliberately priced high. Suppliers know that customers who don't actively engage tend to stay put — so the pain of the rate is meant to motivate you to get back in touch. It's a commercial lever, not a fair market price.
No price protection — rates can change at any time
Unlike a fixed deal, OOC rates aren't guaranteed. Pozitive Energy can adjust them in line with wholesale market movements. If energy prices spike, your bill can increase with very little notice. A fixed contract insulates you from exactly this.
Pass-through charges compound the problem
Network costs, transmission charges, and government levies stack on top of the base unit rate. These change regularly — sometimes significantly. TNUoS charges alone have risen sharply in recent years. All of it lands on your bill whether you're on a fixed deal or OOC rates.

Yes — being out of contract means you're free to switch immediately with no exit fees or penalties. The process typically completes in 2–5 business days. Your supply is never interrupted; it's entirely behind the scenes through the National Grid. Same energy, different company on your bill — and a significantly lower one.

Pass-through charges cover distribution network costs, transmission charges (National Grid), capacity charges, and government levies like the Climate Change Levy and Nuclear RAB Levy. These vary by location and meter type, which is why your actual standing charge is higher than the 150p/day base shown above.
Yes — Pozitive Energy held their OOC base rates unchanged from 1 January 2024, but have now updated them. Electricity has risen from 35p to 45p/kWh and gas from 8p to 15p/kWh. If you've been on OOC rates since early 2024 and haven't noticed a rate change, check your latest bill carefully — and if you haven't already switched, now is an urgent time to do so.
Nothing at all. Our service is free to you. We earn a commission from the supplier — embedded in the unit rate, standard industry practice. Unlike most brokers, we disclose that commission to you in writing before you sign anything. We also have access to wholesale base rates that suppliers don't offer when you contact them directly, so our rates are often lower than going direct — even with our commission included.
