Why London Businesses Must Dodge Deemed Rates – Even When the Price Cap Is Working
In a fresh briefing from Advantage Utilities, a commercial energy and sustainability consulting house, the message is crystal‑clear: get out of those contract traps and stick with the government price cap—no excuses.
What’s Happening on the Energy Front?
- Prices hit a bottom in August and have been steadily sliding since.
- The government’s new energy price cap protects both households and businesses, even though it only locks in wholesale costs.
- There’s a six‑month runway on the cap—good news for planning, bad news for uncertainty.
The Pitfall Big Business Has to Avoid
Deemed rates—those unofficial “fallback” rates that come into play when you slip out of contract—can be a real nightmare. They’re typically tougher and higher than the cap, and let’s be honest: no one likes a surprise hike on their energy bill.
Bottom Line
Plan ahead, stay within the cap, and keep those dreaded deemed rates at bay. After all, a predictable bill beats an unpredictable one any day.

UK’s Energy Surge: Why Net‑Zero is Now the Hot Topic
Picture this: energy prices in the UK are going up faster than a coffee shop during a Monday rush. That spike has left businesses staring at the dusty old net‑zero plans in their drawers and asking, “Where do we start?” The Prime Minister even chimed in, saying the era has arrived to screw up the status quo and press you to boost efficiency and crank up on‑site generation.

Carbon Footprint: The New Game of “I Do It to Save The Planet!”
More companies are teaching themselves the language of Scope 1, 2, and bump up to “Scope 3” – it’s all about owning that personal carbon diary. On‑site generation & efficiency are the hero moves that help you cut your dependency on grid‑energy that feels less eco‑friendly.
Word from the CEO, Andrew Grover
“We’re suddenly in the thick of it – you’re paying money, you have the tools, and you know exactly how long it’ll take to bring the tech into your own territory.”
“People feel the pressure from more than one source to reduce emissions, and the trend is only getting steeper.”
“And, boy, we’re seeing a huge uptake of interest from businesses aiming to lower those pesky Scope 1, 2, and the dreaded Scope 3 emissions.”
