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
Three daily electricity price bands that follow the wholesale market, published a day ahead on a twelve-month agreement with no exit fees.
Best for: households that can move heavy use — washing, drying, hot water and car charging — into the green or amber bands
- 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 Simply Tracker
A fixed-term electricity and gas tariff that follows EDF’s standard variable prices, with a discounted standing charge and exit fees.
Best for: households that want a price-cap-linked tariff without watching prices or shifting usage
- 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 Pod Power
A twelve-month fixed EV tariff with a seven-hour overnight rate, available to households with a Pod Point Solo 3S home charger.
Best for: pod point solo 3s owners who charge an ev at home overnight
- EDF Pod Point Plug & Power
A two-year fixed EV tariff combined with a Pod Point Solo 3S home-charger purchase, with seven overnight off-peak hours.
Best for: ev owners who need a home charger and prefer to spread part of the hardware cost over a longer fixed arrangement
- 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.

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 Simply Tracker — A general cap-linked tariff with a discounted standing charge; it has no time-of-use or device requirement.
- EDF Heat Pump Tracker — The same base rate again, with two discount windows and no peak band.
- EDF Pod Power — The EDF EV tariff for a household that already has the qualifying Pod Point Solo 3S charger.
- EDF Pod Point Plug & Power — A two-year electricity-and-charger bundle rather than a standalone night-rate decision.
- 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.
17 product generations are tracked, across the fourteen electricity distribution regions.
