EDF Energy tariffs August 2026 — every deal, compared

Every EDF Energy tariff — August 2026 table

Tariff names below are verified against our live supplier feed (last checked August 2026). Prices, unit rates and exit fees vary by region, meter type and payment method — our feed doesn't carry them, so we don't quote them here. Get an exact figure for your postcode via the comparison form.

Capped figures use Ofgem's TDCV for the 1 July–30 September 2026 cap period. Get an exact postcode-level quote via the comparison form.

EDF fixed vs variable — the July 2026 cap maths

If you sit on EDF's Standard (Variable) tariff — the supplier's price-capped default — your annual bill at TDCV is £1,663 — a £221/yr increase you couldn't opt out of unless you fixed or switched. Ofgem reviews the cap quarterly; the next review takes effect 1 October 2026, and Cornwall Insight currently forecasts around £1,701–£1,747 (analyst range)/yr for October (current-TDCV basis) — so waiting is unlikely to help. Tip: if you took a meter reading on 30 June, the cheaper pre-July cap covers your usage up to that date.

EDF's current fixed deals — the Simply Fixed range — are the obvious fixes to compare against. They're priced independently of the cap, come in 12–13 month (Simply Fixed Jul27 / Jul27v2 / Jun27v4) and 24–25 month (Simply Fixed 2Yr Jul28 / Jul28v2 / Jun28v4) versions, and give you price certainty for the full term. Exact prices and any exit fees are shown on each tariff information label at quote time — check them before committing.

Whole-of-market comparison: fixed deals across the market are typically priced below the cap right now, and challenger suppliers often undercut the Big Six on the cheapest 12-month fix.

EDF EV tariffs — what's available in August 2026

EDF has offered EV time-of-use tariffs such as GoElectric Overnight in the past, built around a discounted overnight charging window. Off-peak windows, rates and eligibility rules (typically a smart meter operating in half-hourly mode) change frequently, and our live feed doesn't currently list an EDF EV tariff — so check live availability and rates at your postcode before planning around one.

Pod Point: EDF acquired Pod Point in 2022, and home-charger bundles have featured in its past EV offers. Charging overnight on a discounted off-peak window typically costs far less per mile than daytime-rate charging or petrol — but the exact saving depends entirely on the live rate and window, so price it properly rather than assuming.

Worth comparing against: several suppliers — Octopus and British Gas among them — offer EV tariffs with cheap overnight windows, and rates move often. Run the options at your postcode via the comparison form.

EDF for heat pump owners — time-of-use workaround

Our live feed doesn't show a dedicated EDF heat-pump tariff, though some rival suppliers do offer heat-pump-specific deals. The closest EDF-style approach for an air-source or ground-source heat pump household is a time-of-use tariff with a cheap overnight window — using it to pre-heat thermal stores and a hot-water cylinder, then letting the pump idle through the peak-rate day.

If your heat pump runs steadily through the day (typical for well-insulated homes with weather-compensation controls), a dedicated flat-rate heat-pump tariff from another supplier usually wins on annual cost. If you have a large thermal buffer (300L+ store, underfloor heating) and can shift most heat demand into an overnight window, a time-of-use tariff can be very competitive. Use the comparison form to model the options at your postcode.

How to switch to EDF Energy — 5 steps

2. Compare like-for-like. Check unit rate, standing charge, annual cost at your usage, exit fee and contract length on each tariff information label — exit fees vary by tariff and aren't always zero.
3. Confirm your choice. Confirmation and welcome pack arrive within 5 working days.
4. 14-day cooling-off period. Cancel free of charge within 14 days under Ofgem's switching rules.
5. Switch completes in 5 working days. Meter reading request, automatic transfer, no break in supply — guaranteed by the Energy Switch Guarantee.

If you're switching from an existing fix, check your current exit fee first — it's shown on your tariff information label. Subtract it from your projected saving to see the real net benefit.

EDF tariff reputation — what existing customers report

Customers on EDF's fixed deals generally report straightforward billing and the price stability they signed up for, while the price-capped Standard (Variable) tariff moves in line with Ofgem's published cap. The main complaint pattern across EDF reviews relates to smart meter installation backlogs and bill correction delays after meter exchanges rather than the tariff prices themselves.

EDF's Citizens Advice quarterly star rating sits in the mid-3-star range for the Big Six — ahead of British Gas in some quarters, behind E.ON Next and Octopus in most. Trustpilot (August 2026) averages around 4 stars (Great) across ~80,000 reviews. UK call centres in Sunderland and Exeter are a frequently-cited positive. For tariff-specific switching support EDF's online chat and MyEDF account portal are well-rated.
