Question to the Department for Energy Security & Net Zero:

To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, whether his Department has made an estimate of the number and proportion of businesses that are on deemed contracts for their energy supply.

The Government does not hold this information.

Ofgem are in the process of conducting a review of the non-domestic market which will provide up-to-date data on Deemed Contracts. They have published their initial findings which found that the prevalence of Deemed Contracts has increased amongst some non-domestic customers. The full findings of Ofgem’s review are due to be published in the summer.
