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 ENGIE may suit
Suitable for UK non-domestic customers looking for business gas supply, quotes, renewals, and managed energy account support. The published materials indicate a business-focused proposition rather than domestic retail supply.
Trading name and licence-holder notes
The licence holder appears to trade under the ENGIE brand. The company-specific legal entity is ENGIE Gas Limited (03814495), but customer-facing pages and quote contacts use ENGIE rather than a separate retail brand.
Switching from ENGIE to a fixed business contract
UK businesses can switch gas and electricity supply away from ENGIE 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 ENGIE. 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. ENGIE 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. ENGIE 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.

Does ENGIE publish out-of-contract rates?+
ENGIE 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 ENGIE?+
In most cases, businesses can switch gas and electricity supply away from ENGIE 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 ENGIE?+
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 ENGIE a UK-licensed supplier?+
Yes. ENGIE 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.
