❓ Frequently Asked Questions
Deemed Rates are TotalEnergies' out-of-contract rates that automatically apply when your fixed-term contract expires. Unlike fixed rates, deemed rates can change at any time based on market conditions, meaning your costs are unpredictable. Most businesses find they pay significantly more on deemed rates than they would with a competitive fixed-rate contract.
Half Hourly (HH) meters record your electricity consumption every 30 minutes and are typically used for larger businesses. Non Half Hourly (NHH) meters take readings less frequently and are common for smaller premises. HH meters often get lower unit rates (32.17p vs 37.28p) because the detailed data allows for more accurate pricing.
TotalEnergies calculates electricity standing charges based on your specific site characteristics, including your Distribution Network Operator (DNO) area, meter type, and connection capacity. This charge covers the cost of maintaining your connection to the grid and varies by location.
Yes. Being on Deemed Rates means you're not tied to a fixed-term contract. You can switch suppliers at any time without exit fees or penalties. The switch typically takes 2-5 working days if there are no objections or outstanding payments with TotalEnergies.
