EDF Energy Tariffs Explained

Tariff availability can change and may depend on your region, meter type and payment method. Compare live offers to see what you can switch to today.

Fixed-Rate Tariffs

Lock in unit rates and standing charges for a set term. Great for budgeting and protecting against market fluctuations. Early exit fees may apply if you leave before the end of your term.

Variable Tariffs

Unit rates can go up or down in line with wholesale and regulatory changes. The standard variable tariff is typically subject to the Ofgem price cap. No fixed end date; exit fees usually don’t apply.

Prepayment (Pay-As-You-Go)

Top up as you go using a prepayment meter. Helps with budgeting and avoiding unexpected bills. Smart prepay options may be available.

Economy 7 and Time-of-Use

With an Economy 7 meter, you may benefit from cheaper night-time electricity for storage heaters and overnight appliances. EV and smart time-of-use plans can reward off-peak charging.

Reasons to Consider EDF Energy

EDF Energy FAQs

Are EDF Energy prices subject to the Ofgem price cap?

The Ofgem price cap applies to standard variable and certain default tariffs. Fixed-rate tariffs and some other plans are not capped. Always check the tariff information before you switch.

Does EDF offer 100% renewable electricity tariffs?

EDF offers tariffs backed by renewable electricity certificates. Availability varies by region and time. Review the tariff details to confirm how your electricity is sourced and backed.

Will my energy supply be interrupted when I switch?

No. Switching is handled remotely under Ofgem rules and there is no physical interruption to your gas or electricity supply for standard domestic switches.

Are there exit fees if I leave an EDF fixed tariff early?

Some fixed tariffs include exit fees if you switch before the end date. The fee amount depends on the specific tariff. You’ll see this clearly displayed during your quote.

Can I get a smart meter with EDF?

EDF is rolling out SMETS2 smart meters across the UK. Eligibility, appointment availability and property factors apply. If you already have a smart meter, some models may retain smart features after switching.

What information do I need to switch to EDF?

Your postcode, current supplier, meter type (single rate, Economy 7, smart or prepay), and typical usage. A recent bill helps, but estimates are possible.
