What does "Deemed" mean under tarrif

Percy_Frank

I'm currently with EDF and wanted to check to see if I can save by moving my dual fuel energy supplier, but the MSE checking service does not accept "Deemed".  What do I need to put in instead?  Many thanks

Deemed is the standard variable tariff.

Technically a "deemed tariff" is a tariff that is in place despite no contract being signed.

This will normally happen when you move in to a new property. Your "deemed tariff" is with the energy supplier who supplied the property prior to you moving in.

Normal procedure is that you can then contact that supplier and sign up with them on a tariff of your choosing or you can initiate a switch to another supplier.

As Ayr_Rage says, the specific tariff you will be on, if you do nothing, will be the standard variable tariff (which is subject to Ofgem's price cap)
