Where these come from
Supplier's own website

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. The rates page now sits on shell.co.uk. Prices exclude DUoS capacity, reactive, fixed and TNUoS charges (passed through), VAT and CCL. EHV meters are priced individually.
