Where these come from
Supplier's own published rate schedule
A micro-business whose fixed contract expires goes onto Yü's Freedom rates, shown here. A larger business goes onto Extended Supply Period rates for 12 months and then Yü's out-of-contract rates, and Yü publishes neither. Its deemed rates for move-ins have not changed since 25 August 2025.
Last reviewed 3 November 2026. Always verify rates with the supplier before relying on them.
What Yü Energy calls it, and when it applies
Yü Energy calls these rates Freedom rates. They apply when a fixed contract ends and nothing new is signed. Yü Energy also publishes Deemed rates (moved in without a contract), shown as a second row in the table.
Yü Energy says: “These rates will not apply for Micro Businesses. Instead, Freedom Rates will apply (unless another arrangement is agreed).” Source

Find it on your contract or bill, then get prices well before it. Our guide covers what to do when your business energy contract ends, whether you have six months left or it ended last week.
