Fixed
A fixed contract is the same for electricity or gas, when all the cost elements of a contract (commodity and non-commodity) [Visit our page here for the different types of NCC] are lumped together in a unit rate, and you are shown a total price.
Pass Through
Applicable to both Fixed and Flexible energy contracts, a ‘Pass Through’ contract is just the way the Non Commodity Cost (NCC) element can be priced. NCCs are now the majority share of your unit rate, making up between 60-65% of the charge...
Flexible
Whereas a Fixed contract has all the cost elements locked in for the duration, including the commodity or energy element, a Flexible contract does not have the energy part factored in when the contract is signed.

Do you know your fixed from a flexible? Were you told the definitions years ago and not got time to investigate the differences now? Some energy managers we talk to do, some don’t. We understand, you are very busy people, many plates juggling and spinning.

It’s our job to know the industry inside and out, only that way can we recommend a product that’s really right for you. Our experts are more than happy to talk you through each contract type, whether that’s an overview or really in depth.
FIXED CONTRACTS:
DB Group can provide a fully fixed contract which includes all charges relating to your energy supply including the wholesale energy cost, transportation & distribution costs & any government taxes & levies (excluding VAT & CCL – Climate Change Levy) for an agreed term at a fixed agreed rate across the contract term. For more info please go here
PASS THROUGH:
Probably best described as a partially-fixed contract in that, while you agree to a fixed price and to purchase your energy consumed, not all rates and charges are paid for upfront and so will be added to your bill on an ad-hoc basis (at the appropriate rate agreed at the time). For more info please go here
FLEXIBLE CONTRACTS:
A flexible contract is the opposite of a fully fixed contract. Using internal and external systems DB Group will monitor prices achieved and manage risk thusly; greater risk can yield greater savings where market moves are advantageous to the current position.
