EDF Energy tariffs June 2026 — every deal, ranked
This is EDF Energy's complete tariff line-up for June 2026 — two 12-month fixes, a cap-tracking variable, an Economy 7 fix, a no-standing-charge variable, an EV smart tariff (GoElectric Overnight) and a SEG export tariff. We re-verify prices weekly against EDF's published tariff information labels. With the Ofgem default cap rising to £1,862/yr on 1 July 2026, EDF's two fixed deals undercut the new cap by 8–11% and are worth pricing before the uplift lands.
- Cheapest EDF tariff (9 June 2026): EDF Essentials Plus 12M — £1,649/yr TDCV, no exit fees on dual-fuel DD.
- Variable tariff: EDF Easy Online rises from £1,632 to £1,862/yr on 1 July 2026 (cap-tracker).
- EV / heat pump: GoElectric Overnight 9p/kWh off-peak 00:00–05:00 daily.
- SEG export: EDF Export Exclusive 12m V2 pays 24p/kWh export (Contact Solar installs).

EDF tariffs vary by region and meter type — the headline £1,649/yr Essentials Plus price uses Ofgem's typical-domestic-consumption value (TDCV: 2,700 kWh elec + 11,500 kWh gas, dual fuel DD). Your actual bill depends on your postcode (regional unit rates differ by up to 8%), your annual usage, and whether you're paying by DD, on receipt or via prepayment.
The form on the right pulls EDF's live tariff for your postcode plus the cheapest comparable fix from across the open market — small suppliers (E.ON Next, Octopus, Outfox the Market, OVO, So Energy and others) often beat EDF by £80–£150/yr on the cheapest 12-month fix. Verified June 2026.

EDF fixed vs variable — the July 2026 cap maths
If you sit on EDF Easy Online (the supplier's default variable tariff), your annual bill at TDCV rises from £1,632 today to £1,862 on 1 July 2026 — a £218/yr increase you can't opt out of unless you fix or switch. The cap jump is mostly wholesale gas: +24% on gas unit rates, +5% on electricity. Ofgem reviews the cap quarterly; the October 2026 cap is announced in late August.
EDF Essentials Plus 12M (£1,649/yr) is the obvious fix to compare against. It saves £201/yr versus the new cap, has zero dual-fuel exit fees on direct debit, and gives you 12 months of price certainty. If a cheaper EDF (or rival) tariff lands in autumn 2026 you can move freely. This is the right choice for most existing EDF customers who like the brand and don't want the hassle of switching.
EDF Fixed Lite v3 (£1,683/yr) costs £34/yr more than Essentials Plus and carries a £75 dual-fuel exit fee. It's an online-paperless variant — only worth choosing if you're certain you'll stay 12 months and prefer EDF's online-only servicing model.
Whole-of-market comparison: the cheapest 12-month fix on the open market today is around £1,536/yr (small-supplier challenger brand) — that's £113/yr cheaper than EDF Essentials Plus. If saving every pound matters more than supplier brand, run the comparison form at the top of this page.
EDF EV tariff — GoElectric Overnight + Pod Point bundle
EDF GoElectric Overnight drops your electricity unit rate to 9p/kWh between 00:00 and 05:00 daily — a five-hour window that comfortably fills a typical EV battery (a 60 kWh car at 20% topped to 80% needs ~36 kWh, about 5 hours on a 7.4 kW home charger). Peak rates (05:00–00:00) sit at standard cap-aligned levels. There is no exit fee, so you can move to it the moment your smart meter is in half-hourly mode.
Pod Point bundle: EDF acquired Pod Point in 2022 and offers EDF electricity customers a £30/yr discount on a home-charge install (typically a Pod Point Solo 3S, 7.4 kW tethered or untethered). The bundle pairs naturally with GoElectric Overnight — schedule the charger to run only between 00:00 and 05:00 and a typical 10,000-mile/yr EV driver spends around £250/yr on home charging versus £950+/yr on petrol at 145p/litre.
Worth comparing against: Octopus Intelligent Octopus Go at 7p/kWh over a six-hour smart-controlled window, and British Gas Electric Driver v3 at 8.95p/kWh over the same 00:00–05:00 window. Run all three at your postcode via the comparison form.
EDF for heat pump owners — GoElectric Overnight workaround
EDF does not currently sell a dedicated heat-pump tariff (unlike E.ON Next Heat Pump v2 at 14p/kWh flat, or British Gas Heat Pump Tariff at 14.5p/kWh flat). The closest EDF option for an air-source or ground-source heat pump household is GoElectric Overnight — using the 9p/kWh window 00:00–05:00 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 E.ON Next or British Gas usually wins on annual cost. If you have a large thermal buffer (300L+ store, underfloor heating) and can shift most heat demand to the 00:00–05:00 window, GoElectric Overnight can be very competitive. Use the comparison form to model all three options at your postcode.

EDF tariff reputation — what existing customers report
Tariff-specific feedback for June 2026: customers on EDF Essentials Plus report straightforward billing and the expected price stability. The variable Easy Online tariff is well-regarded for transparency (it tracks the cap by published formula). 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 (June 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.
Frequently asked questions — EDF Energy tariffs (June 2026)
What's the cheapest EDF tariff in June 2026?
EDF Essentials Plus 12M at £1,649/yr TDCV (dual-fuel direct debit) — EDF's cheapest openly-marketed fix as of late June 2026. No exit fees on dual-fuel DD, £201/yr below the £1,862 July 2026 cap. Verify at your postcode via the comparison form.
When does EDF Easy Online change price?
EDF Easy Online tracks the Ofgem default tariff cap. The next change is 1 July 2026, rising from £1,632/yr to £1,862/yr (+13%). The October 2026 cap is announced in late August 2026. Fixed tariffs are locked at the headline price for the full contract regardless of cap movement.
How does EDF GoElectric Overnight compare with Octopus Go?
EDF GoElectric Overnight: 9p/kWh between 00:00–05:00 (five hours). Octopus Go: 8.5p/kWh between 00:30–05:30 (five hours). Intelligent Octopus Go: 7p/kWh over a smart-controlled six-hour window. For a typical EV driver doing 10,000 miles/yr, Intelligent Octopus Go usually wins by £30–£60/yr, but EDF's Pod Point hardware bundle can tip the balance. Compare at your postcode in the form above.
Does EDF have a tariff for solar panel owners?
Yes — EDF Export Exclusive 12m V2 pays 24p/kWh export under the Smart Export Guarantee (SEG), but only on solar PV installs done by Contact Solar. For other installers EDF's standard SEG rate applies (lower). Octopus Flux (5–29.32p variable) and British Gas Export & Earn Plus (15.1p flat) are alternative SEG options.
What exit fees does EDF charge?
EDF Essentials Plus 12M: none on dual-fuel direct debit (£25 per fuel single-fuel). EDF Fixed Lite v3: £75 dual-fuel. EDF E7 Fixed v2: £50 electricity. Easy Online (variable), No Standing Charge V1 and GoElectric Overnight have no exit fees. See the tariff table for the full breakdown.
Is EDF Essentials Plus 12M cheaper than the July 2026 cap?
Yes — by £201/yr. Essentials Plus is locked at £1,649/yr for the 12-month term, while the new Ofgem cap from 1 July 2026 sits at £1,862/yr. That gap holds for the full contract period regardless of further cap moves in October 2026 and January 2027.
Can I get EDF on prepayment?
Yes — EDF supplies prepayment customers at the Ofgem prepayment cap (which is currently aligned to the direct-debit cap from Q3 2024 onwards). Most fixed tariffs require direct debit; prepayment customers typically default to the cap-tracking variable. Use the form to check eligibility for fixed tariffs on prepay meters.
How long does an EDF switch take?
Five working days under the Energy Switch Guarantee, plus a 21-day cooling-off period during which you can cancel free of charge. The supply transfers automatically; no break in service. See the step-by-step guide above.
