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 Utilita Business may suit
Best suited to SME and multi-site business customers looking for flexible business energy supply, smart meter-based billing, and optional solar support. The published rates suggest a variable/default-style offer is available for non-half-hourly gas customers without a fixed-price plan.
Trading name and licence-holder notes
The website and terms consistently reference Utilita Business / Utilita Energy Limited (company number 04849181). I did not verify a public legal-entity match for the requested company number 04849175 from official sources, so treat this as a potential naming or entity mismatch rather than a confirmed separate trading structure.
Switching from Utilita Business to a fixed business contract
UK businesses can switch gas supply away from Utilita Business 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 Utilita Business. 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 MPRN 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. Utilita Business publishes its out-of-contract rates online, so the gap between those and a current fixed offer is easy to quantify. 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. Utilita Business 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.

The trading name on your bill or contract may differ from the licence holder, which is normal and reflects how UK energy is regulated.

Does Utilita Business publish out-of-contract rates?+
Utilita Business publishes deemed or out-of-contract rates online. Always check the latest version on the supplier's own page before relying on them, since rates can change at short notice.
Can I switch away from Utilita Business?+
In most cases, businesses can switch gas supply away from Utilita Business 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 Utilita Business?+
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 Utilita Business a UK-licensed supplier?+
Yes. Utilita Business is on the Ofgem non-domestic licensee register for gas. 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.
