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.

Next Fixed 12m

This 1-year fixed-rate tariff gives you a consistent price for a whole year. It also comes with exclusive home energy tech discounts. You'll need to manage your account online and pay by Direct Debit to get cheaper prices. There is a £50 exit fee per fuel if you change supplier.

Next Fixed 24m

With this tariff, your prices are fixed for 24 months. It includes exclusive discounts on home energy tech and offers cheaper prices for those who pay by Direct Debit. This tariff has a £100 exit fee per fuel if you change supplier.

Next Gust

Our Next Gust tariff is backed by 100% renewable electricity generated by UK wind assets¹. Your prices are fixed for 12 months, and you'll need a smart meter to manage your account online. There is a £50 exit fee per fuel if you change supplier.

Next Pledge

This unique 12-month fixed term tracker tariff guarantees your prices will always stay below the Ofgem price cap². It gives you the benefit of falling energy prices with no exit fees.

Smart and time of use tariffs for a modern home.

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.

Next Smart Saver

This tariff offers cheaper³ off-peak and super off-peak pricing windows, which is perfect for running appliances like washing machines or dishwashers overnight. It has fixed prices for 12 months and no exit fees.

Next Drive

Designed for electric vehicle owners, this tariff offers a cheap overnight charging price⁴. You can manage everything through our app and get a one year subscription to Zoom EV benefits⁵.

Next Drive Smart

This is our cheapest EV tariff⁶ that uses cutting-edge technology to make charging your car at home incredibly convenient and affordable, cutting your charging costs by up to 70%⁷.

Next Pumped

Tailored specifically for heat pump owners, this tariff offers cheaper electricity prices from 10 pm to 6 am⁸. It comes with 100% renewable electricity⁹ and has no exit fees.

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.

• Variable prices.

• No contract (this means no exit fees).

• Cheaper prices when paying by Direct Debit.

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:

• The unit rate: This is the cost for each kilowatt-hour (kWh) of energy you use.

• The 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.
