EDF Energy tariffs

EDF publishes its tariff catalogue through the same open interface Octopus does, so these pages carry the real rates — half-hourly, banded or flat, as each tariff is actually priced, and for your own distribution region.

Tariffs you buy on

  • EDF FreePhase Dynamic

    Half-hourly electricity prices that follow the wholesale market, on a twelve-month agreement with no exit fees.

    Best for: households that can move heavy use — washing, drying, hot water, car charging — into cheaper half hours

  • EDF FreePhase Static

    Fixed day, night and peak bands for twelve months, with free electricity at set times and no exit fees.

    Best for: households that can reliably keep the oven, dryer and dishwasher out of the late afternoon

  • EDF Empower Tracker

    The price cap with 10p a unit off in the early hours and 10p added across the late afternoon, and no standing charge.

    Best for: low-usage households, for whom the absent standing charge is the biggest single saving available

  • EDF Heat Pump Tracker

    For heat pump owners: the standard variable rate with 10p a unit off in two windows a day, and no peak penalty.

    Best for: air source heat pump households with a controller that can be scheduled

  • EDF Go Electric

    Seven hours of very cheap electricity every night from 11pm, fixed for twelve months, for charging an electric car.

    Best for: electric vehicle owners who charge at home most nights

  • EDF Standard Variable

    EDF’s default tariff for electricity and gas, priced at the Ofgem cap, with no exit fees.

    Best for: households that want no term, no exit fee and no decisions

  • EDF Simply Fixed

    Unit rates and standing charge locked for the length of the deal, for electricity and gas, with an exit fee.

    Best for: households that value a predictable bill over the chance of a lower one

Which tariff can you actually take?

Most of these tariffs are built around a particular piece of kit. This is what each one needs before you can be on it, and what it is designed around even where it is not compulsory.

EDF Energy tariffs by requirement. Each cell reads required, works better with, or not needed.

How these tariffs relate

  • EDF FreePhase Dynamic — The half-hourly half of the FreePhase line; FreePhase Static is the same idea with the times printed in advance.
  • EDF Empower Tracker — Takes the standard variable rate as its base, then discounts the early hours and adds to the late afternoon.
  • EDF Heat Pump Tracker — The same base rate again, with two discount windows and no peak band.
  • EDF Standard Variable — The default tariff, and the one the price cap applies to.

Choosing between them

EDF’s range splits cleanly in two. The Tracker tariffs follow the Ofgem price cap and adjust it at set hours — which is not the same as following the wholesale market, whatever the name suggests. The FreePhase and EV tariffs set their own prices, either half-hourly or in fixed bands, and are where the larger savings and the larger risks both are.

18 product generations are tracked, across the fourteen electricity distribution regions.
