Fast answer: what most people should know about Standard Variable Green Tariff

Standard Variable Green Tariff is best treated as a single tariff family page because the same tariff name can appear across multiple service types, payment methods, Economy 7 settings and 14 PES regions. The best version for you depends on your postcode, meter setup and how you actually pay for energy.

Editor's rule of thumb: compare only like-for-like. If you are on Direct Debit, compare Direct Debit. If you need Economy 7, compare Economy 7. If you want dual fuel, do not compare it against an electricity-only row and assume the result is equivalent.

Key takeaways

  • Service types: Dual Fuel, Electricity, Gas
  • Payment methods: Cash / Cheque, Monthly Direct Debit

What to have ready

  • Your postcode for regional pricing

Decision checklist

  • Pick the right fuel/service type first.
  • Keep the payment method the same across comparisons.
  • Only choose an Economy 7 row if your meter and usage pattern suit it.
  • Use your postcode to sense-check the regional prices.

Why regional rows matter

  • Standing charges and unit rates vary by PES region.
  • A tariff that looks cheap nationally may be less competitive in your area.
  • Regional differences can materially change annual cost estimates.

Costs, exclusions and common pitfalls to check

Most mistakes happen when the wrong regional or payment-type version of the tariff is compared. Use these checks before switching.

1) Region matters

There are separate regional records because energy pricing differs across PES areas. Do not assume a headline price applies nationally.

2) Payment method affects price

Direct Debit, bill payment and prepayment variants can differ materially. Compare like-for-like only.

3) Economy 7 is usage-sensitive

Economy 7 can help if enough usage is overnight, but can cost more overall if most use is daytime.

4) Fuel bundle changes the comparison

Dual fuel should not be compared directly with electricity-only rows unless you normalise the usage assumptions.

5) Exit fees reduce flexibility

No exit fee is currently shown on the records listed, but always confirm before switching.

6) Postcode still beats region-only estimates

Region is useful for guidance, but a postcode-based quote is more precise because it reflects the actual tariff availability and pricing for your home.

Helpful shortcut: if you are not sure this is the right product family, compare all Ecotricity tariffs before drilling into the regional tables.

Standard Variable Green Tariff: FAQs

Why are there so many records for the same tariff name?

Because the tariff can vary by service type, payment method, Economy 7 status and region. This page groups them together so you can compare them in one place.

Are prices for Standard Variable Green Tariff the same in every region?

No. This page includes region-level records because unit rates and standing charges differ across PES regions. Your postcode is still the best way to confirm what you would actually pay.

Does Standard Variable Green Tariff come with Economy 7?

Yes. At least one Economy 7 option group is currently listed on this page, with separate day and off-peak unit rates shown per region.

Can I get Standard Variable Green Tariff as electricity-only, gas-only or dual fuel?

Current records show these service types: Dual Fuel, Electricity, Gas. Availability still depends on your home and supplier rules.

How do I switch to the exact regional option I want?

Use the grouped comparison table to find the right option type, then choose the regional row below it that matches your area and click the switch link.

Can I compare this with other tariffs from the same supplier?

Yes. Visit the Ecotricity tariffs page to compare other current products from the same supplier.

Will switching affect my supply?

In normal circumstances, no. The switch is administrative and your supply continues while the new tariff is set up.

  • Regional realism: we show multiple PES-region records because energy prices vary by area.
  • Like-for-like comparison: we encourage comparison using the same payment method, service type and meter assumptions wherever possible.
  • Rate transparency: we show actual unit rates (p/kWh) and standing charges (p/day) so you can estimate costs using your own usage figures.
  • Availability caveat: the exact tariff you can join may still depend on your postcode and supplier eligibility checks.
