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 Vattenfall Energy Trading may suit

Best suited to larger non-domestic customers, industrial energy users, generators, municipal utilities, and organisations seeking structured energy procurement, hedging, or power purchase agreement support rather than a small-business retail offer.

Trading name and licence-holder notes

The Ofgem licence holder is Vattenfall Energy Trading GmbH, but the customer-facing brand used on the official group site is Vattenfall Energy Trading. The wider UK business also uses Vattenfall UK and Vattenfall Heat UK branding, so the licence holder appears to trade within the Vattenfall group rather than under a standalone UK retail brand.

Switching from Vattenfall Energy Trading to a fixed business contract

UK businesses can switch electricity supply away from Vattenfall Energy Trading 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 Vattenfall Energy Trading. 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 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. Vattenfall Energy Trading 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. Vattenfall Energy Trading 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 Vattenfall Energy Trading brand?+

The Ofgem non-domestic licence is held by VATTENFALL ENERGY TRADING GMBH, ultimately part of Vattenfall Energy Trading GmbH (company no. HRB 80335). The trading name on your bill or contract may differ from the licence holder, which is normal and reflects how UK energy is regulated.

What is the Vattenfall Energy Trading business contact number?+

The official Vattenfall Energy Trading contact page is https://energysales.vattenfall.co.uk/contact.

Does Vattenfall Energy Trading publish out-of-contract rates?+

Vattenfall Energy Trading 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 Vattenfall Energy Trading?+

In most cases, businesses can switch electricity supply away from Vattenfall Energy Trading 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 Vattenfall Energy Trading?+

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 Vattenfall Energy Trading a UK-licensed supplier?+

Yes. Vattenfall Energy Trading is on the Ofgem non-domestic licensee register for 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.
