E.ON Next SEG export tariff — September 2026 rates

Next Export Exclusive pays a flat 13p/kWh for exported solar, available only if E.ON Next also supplies your import. The rate sits in the lower half of the flat-rate table — but E.ON Next has one of the cheapest import fixes against the current cap, so the whole-household sums are closer than they look.

  • 13p/kWh flat — same rate day and night, no battery required (verified September 2026).
  • Import customers only — you can't take the export rate and import elsewhere.
  • The cheapest 12-month fixed deals on our live panel are typically priced below the £1,663 cap, several with no exit fees — run your postcode through the comparison on this page for today's exact prices.
  • ~£312/yr export income — estimated for a 4kW system exporting ~2,400 kWh/yr.

    Frequently asked questions

    Do I have to be an E.ON Next customer?

    Yes. Next Export Exclusive is only available to households importing from E.ON Next. Switch your import away later and you lose the export tariff too.

    Is 13p/kWh a good SEG rate?

    The cheapest 12-month fixed deals on our live panel are typically priced below the £1,663 cap, several with no exit fees — run your postcode through the comparison on this page for today's exact prices.

    Can I export to E.ON Next but import elsewhere?

    Not on this tariff. SEG rules allow different import and export suppliers in general, but Next Export Exclusive bundles the two — E.ON Next import is a condition of the 13p rate.

    Do I need a battery?

    No — every exported kWh earns a flat 13p regardless of time of day. Batteries only change the maths on time-of-use tariffs like Octopus Flux (up to 29.32p at peak).

    Will the Ofgem price cap change my export rate?

    No — SEG rates aren't price-cap regulated; the cap covers import only. It rose to £1,663/yr — exactly why a below-cap import fix plus export income matters.

    I'm on an old 5p SEG deal — worth moving?

    Almost certainly. A 4kW home exporting ~2,400 kWh earns about £120/yr at 5p versus an estimated £312 at 13p — and up to £600 at Good Energy's 25p. Old SEG contracts cancel with 14 days' written notice.
