Company data
Live data on the licence-holding companies behind Axpo UK, compiled by Purely Energy's independent research team and refreshed monthly.
Axpo UK out-of-contract and deemed rates
Not publicly published / quote required. Axpo’s public laws-and-regulations page says deemed/out-of-contract rates apply, but it does not list numerical unit rates or standing charges. The deemed supply terms say charges are published on the website and may change without notice.
If you are on deemed, default, rollover, variable, or Out-of-contract rates, ask for a written renewal quote and compare it against live market prices before agreeing a new contract.
Where your p/kWh actually goes
Indicative split for a UK I&C electricity bill in 2026, sourced from Cornwall Insight's non-commodity cost research. Your meter, region and contract type shift the exact mix, but the four components are always present.
- Wholesale energy, 38%Gas or power bought on the wholesale market. The figure most coverage focuses on.
- Non-commodity costs, 53%Network charges (DUoS, TNUoS), policy levies (RO, FiT, CfD, Capacity Market), CCL and balancing costs.
- Supplier margin, 6%What the supplier earns. Always priced into the unit rate.
- Broker margin, 3%What we earn for tendering and managing the contract. Shown separately on every Purely Energy quote.
Who Axpo UK may suit
Best suited to larger non-domestic customers with relatively high consumption, multi-site or structured procurement needs, and businesses seeking bespoke pricing, hedging, PPAs or risk-management support rather than a standard published SME tariff.
Trading name and licence-holder notes
The licence holder appears to trade primarily as Axpo UK / Axpo, while the legal entity in the UK terms is Axpo UK Limited. The public pages use the Axpo brand and do not show a separate consumer-facing trading name beyond Axpo UK.
Switching from Axpo UK to a fixed business contract
UK businesses can switch gas and electricity supply away from Axpo UK once their fixed contract ends, or after resolving any open objection or termination-window issue. The process is the same for every supplier on the non-domestic market, but a few checks done in the right order make the transfer materially faster.
- 1. Find your contract end date. It's on your last renewal letter or the most recent bill from Axpo UK. Most non-domestic contracts have a 1 to 6 month termination window before that date, outside of which you may auto-roll onto a new fixed term.
- 2. Get your MPAN and MPRN ready. The 21-digit MPAN (electricity) and 6 to 10-digit MPRN (gas) uniquely identify each meter and are needed for any competing quote. Both appear on your bill.
- 3. Compare against the live market. Axpo UK doesn't publish standard out-of-contract rates, so request a written renewal quote first and benchmark it against live market prices before agreeing anything. Purely Energy can run your meters against the wider UK panel and come back with the cheapest fixed offers.
- 4. Settle the final bill and clear any objections. Axpo UK will issue a final bill within 6 weeks of supply transferring. If a balance is outstanding, they can object to the switch under industry rules, so clear it before the transfer date to avoid a hold.
- 5. Sign the new contract. Once the new supplier has your MPAN/MPRN and signed contract, the transfer typically completes within 4 to 8 weeks. There is no break in supply, you simply receive your first bill from the new supplier.

FAQs
Who supplies energy under the Axpo UK brand?+
The Ofgem non-domestic licence is held by AXPO UK LTD., ultimately part of Axpo UK Limited (Company No. 06600942). The trading name on your bill or contract may differ from the licence holder, which is normal and reflects how UK energy is regulated.

Does Axpo UK publish out-of-contract rates?+
Axpo UK does not appear to publish a standard deemed or out-of-contract rate online. Business customers should request a written renewal quote in advance of their contract end date and compare it against live market prices.
Can I switch away from Axpo UK?+
In most cases, businesses can switch gas and electricity supply away from Axpo UK at the end of a fixed-term contract or after resolving any objections, debt, termination-window, or meter-data issues. The safest route is to check your contract terms, final bill position, and renewal dates before starting a transfer.
How long does it take to switch from Axpo UK?+
Once a new supplier has the meter point details (MPAN/MPRN) and a signed contract, a non-domestic switch typically completes within 4 to 8 weeks. Supply does not break: the new supplier takes over billing on the transfer date.
Is Axpo UK a UK-licensed supplier?+
Yes. Axpo UK is on the Ofgem non-domestic licensee register for both gas and electricity. Ofgem maintains the official register at ofgem.gov.uk.
What are out-of-contract business energy rates?+
Out-of-contract rates are the prices a business pays when no fixed-term contract is in place with its supplier. They can be materially higher than negotiated contract rates, so businesses should check their contract end date and renewal window before they expire.
