TotalEnergies Gas & Power out-of-contract rates

If your TotalEnergies Gas & Power contract has ended, you may have been moved onto deemed (out-of-contract) rates. Here's what that means, what you're likely paying, and what your options are.

Deemed rates are typically around 70% higher than a fixed deal — but the only way to know your figure is to compare. We'll tell you straight, even if we can't beat it.

Why it costs more

Why deemed rates cost more

Deemed rates aren't a penalty you signed up for — they're the default when a contract lapses, priced so the supplier isn't carrying the risk. Here's the typical gap.

On deemed rates
Up to 70% more
Deemed rates are notoriously high — as much as 70% above the best fixed rates on the market. They're variable, can change at any time, and give you no budget certainty.
On a fixed deal
Locked in
A known unit rate for your whole term — and no exit fee to leave deemed. Your exact figure depends on meter type and the market, so use the calculator below or get a quote.
Broker insight

What we see most often

After years of untangling renewals, the same few patterns come up again and again.

Most people don't realise they've rolled onto deemed. There's no big alert — just a quietly higher bill.

It usually starts with a missed renewal. A letter gets overlooked, a contract quietly ends, and deemed kicks in automatically.

The standing charge is where electricity really stings. On deemed it's often higher than the unit rate alone suggests.

You're never locked in. You can leave deemed any working day with no exit fee — many wait months thinking they can't.

Am I on deemed rates?

Look for "Deemed"

If your tariff says Deemed, Deemed Contract, or doesn't mention a fixed term, you're out of contract.

Check the end date

If your contract end date is blank, in the past, or you can't find one — you're almost certainly on deemed rates.
