Understanding our electricity tariffs.
When you compare electricity tariffs, you'll see a range of options, each with its own benefits. We've simplified things to make it easy for you to find a plan that fits your lifestyle.
Fixed tariffs give you price certainty.
A fixed tariff is a great way to protect your budget from unexpected price rises. With a fixed tariff, your unit rate and standing charge for electricity are locked in for the duration of your contract, so you'll always know exactly how much you're paying per kWh.

If you have a smart meter and want more control over your energy use, a time of use tariff or smart tariff could be perfect for you. These tariffs offer different rates for electricity at different times of the day, allowing you to save money by shifting your use to off-peak hours when demand is lower.
To get started with our smart tariffs, you'll need a smart meter and an online account.

Variable rate tariffs offer flexibility.
A variable rate tariff is a standard, rolling plan where your unit rates and standing charges can go up or down with the wholesale cost of energy. This means your bill will fluctuate with the market, but you'll have the flexibility to switch or leave at any time without paying an exit fee.
Next Flex - our flexible tariff.
This is the E.ON Next standard variable tariff, where your electricity and gas prices can go up or down with the wholesale market.

Let's talk about electricity prices in the UK.
We know that understanding your electricity bill can sometimes be confusing. Here’s a simple breakdown of how electricity prices in the UK are calculated and what can influence them.
The price you pay for energy is made up of two main components.
Unit rate
This is the cost for each kilowatt-hour (kWh) of energy you use.
Standing charge
This is a fixed daily charge that covers the cost of keeping your home connected to the energy network, even if you don't use any energy.
The prices are influenced by a number of factors. The Ofgem price cap sets a limit on the unit rates and standing charges a supplier can charge for a standard variable tariff, with reviews every three months.
Getting a new electricity connection.
Whether you're moving into a brand new home or your supply has been disconnected for a while, getting connected is simple.
Residential connections.
If you're moving into a new build, you'll need to choose a supplier after agreeing on capacity with your local Distribution Network Operator. We can help you with this process.
Once you're signed up, we can arrange for a smart meter installation, typically within two weeks. While we get that sorted, you'll be on our Next Flex tariff, which is great because there are no exit fees.
Business connections.
Getting the right connections and meters in place is about getting your business off to the best start. We’re here to help you get it right.
Reconnect your electricity supply.
If your electricity has been disconnected for any reason, we can help you get back online.
Residential reconnections.
If you're a Smart Pay As You Go customer and you've run out of credit, you can usually reconnect your supply by topping up and following the simple instructions on your smart in-home display. For other disconnections, our team of Energy Specialists can guide you through the process or arrange for an engineer visit if needed.
Business reconnections.
For business customers, our dedicated team can provide guidance on getting your supply reconnected quickly and safely.
Our renewable energy guarantee.
When you choose one of our renewable electricity tariffs such as Next Gust or Next Pumped, you're not just getting energy for your home. You're supporting a more sustainable future. All of our electricity is backed by Renewable Energy Guarantee of Origin (REGO) certificates.
A REGO certificate is a bit like a passport for renewable electricity. It's a document issued for every megawatt-hour (MWh) of renewable electricity generated. These certificates prove that an equivalent amount of electricity from UK wind, solar and hydro sources has been put into the grid to match the energy our customers use. It's our way of giving you peace of mind that your electricity is truly green.
Smart meters and energy efficiency.
Getting a smart meter is one of the best things you can do to save money and become more energy efficient. It sends your meter readings directly to us, so your bills are always accurate.
But the real magic happens when you start to use the data. With a smart meter, you can track your real time electricity use, helping you spot energy-hungry appliances and make small changes to lower your bills. It also allows you to access smart tariffs, like our Next Smart Saver, so you can take advantage of cheaper rates at off-peak times.
Energy saving tips for lower bills.
A big part of controlling your electricity bill is being smart about how you use energy. Here are a few simple tips to help you reduce your consumption and save money.
Switch off standby
Leaving appliances on standby can still use a surprising amount of electricity. Use smart plugs or timers to make sure everything is completely switched off overnight.
Be a savvy washer
Running your washing machine or dishwasher on a cooler cycle can save you money. If you have a smart meter and a time of use tariff, schedule these appliances to run during off peak hours for even bigger savings.
Choose energy-efficient appliances
When it's time to replace an appliance, check its energy rating. Choosing a model with a higher rating can save you a significant amount on your electricity bills over its lifetime.
Switching to us is simple.
We've made the process of switching to us as easy as possible. There’s no need to worry about any interruption to your electricity supply—the switch happens in the background.
The whole process usually takes around five working days. We'll handle everything with your old supplier and we'll even work with smart meters from other providers. When you're ready, you can get a quote and compare electricity prices right on our website.
Electricity and tariffs frequently asked questions.
What's the difference between a fixed and a variable tariff?
A fixed tariff keeps your unit rate and standing charge the same for the entire contract, which gives you predictable bills. A variable tariff can fluctuate with wholesale costs, so your bills might go up or down, but you can leave at any time without an exit fee.
How do I compare electricity prices?
To compare electricity prices, look at your annual use in kWh, check the unit rate and standing charge for each tariff, and factor in any exit fees. You can use an online comparison tool, but you can also get a live, personalised quote directly with us in minutes.
What affects electricity prices in the UK?
Electricity prices in the UK are influenced by the cost of wholesale energy, government policies and levies, and the cost of maintaining the distribution network. The Ofgem price cap sets a limit on what suppliers can charge for standard variable tariffs.
Do I need to use an electricity price comparison site?
While comparison sites are useful, you can switch directly with us in about five minutes online. You'll see the same competitive tariff rates and can begin the simple switching process right away.
What are unit rates and standing charges?
The unit rate is what you pay per kilowatt-hour (kWh) of electricity used. The standing charge is a fixed daily cost that covers the maintenance of the network that delivers electricity to your home. You pay this charge even if you don't use any electricity on a given day.
How do smart meters work?
A smart meter sends your energy readings directly to us in near real time, so your bills are always accurate. It also gives you access to a detailed breakdown of your electricity use, helping you save money. We offer free installation for eligible customers.
Can an EV tariff really cut my charging costs?
Yes, absolutely. Dedicated EV tariffs like our Next Drive and Next Drive Smart offer low off-peak rates, so you can charge your car overnight for a fraction of the cost of standard tariffs. This can lead to significant savings compared to running a petrol or diesel car.
