Shell splits the two cases. Extended supply is what a business pays when a fixed contract ends without a renewal or termination notice, and is shown here. Deemed applies to move-ins and is materially cheaper. Prices exclude DUoS capacity, reactive power, fixed and TNUoS charges, which are passed through. Extra-high-voltage meters are priced bespoke.
