Which EDF Energy tariff would be cheapest for you?
This models what the last twelve months of real prices would have cost a household of a stated shape. It is a comparison of the past, not a prediction of your next bill.
Your postcode is sent once to Octopus Energy’s public region lookup — the same one they bill from. We do not put it in the URL, analytics or database, and do not keep it.
EDF Energy import tariffs, cheapest first
On the ordinary household, single-rate meter profile at 2,500 kWh a year, using prices from 2025-09-20 to 2026-09-20.
The Ofgem price cap for this region works out at £822 a year on the same consumption — 26.35p per kWh plus 44.78p a day. Cap period 2026-07-01 to 2026-09-30.
- EDF Heat Pump Tracker
£762a year
23.92p per kWh on this profile, plus 44.78p a day. That is £61 below the price cap over the same year.
Across 12 complete months it ranged from 22.89p in April 2026 to 24.99p in January 2026.
- EDF Standard Variable
£812a year
25.93p per kWh on this profile, plus 44.78p a day. That is £10 below the price cap over the same year.
Across 11 complete months it ranged from 24.90p in April 2026 to 27.00p in January 2026.
- EDF Empower Tracker
—a year
27.26p per kWh on this profile, and it publishes no standing charge.
Across 9 complete months it ranged from 26.12p in April 2026 to 28.23p in March 2026.
We cannot total this one. The supplier publishes a standing charge of zero for it. That may be genuine — suppliers now have to offer a zero standing charge tariff — but one normally pays for it with a higher unit rate, and this tariff charges the same as its siblings that do have a standing charge. Rather than guess, the yearly figure is left out and the unit rate is shown on its own.
Too little history to rank alongside
These have fewer than nine months of complete prices in the window — usually because they are new. Their figures are real but cover a different, shorter period, so they are not comparable with the list above.
- EDF FreePhase Dynamic
£734a year
22.83p per kWh on this profile, plus 44.78p a day. That is £88 below the price cap over the same year.
Across 6 complete months it ranged from 17.39p in April 2026 to 27.56p in August 2026.
Measured over 194 complete days rather than the full year, so this figure is not comparable with the ones above it.
- EDF Simply Tracker
£797a year
26.35p per kWh on this profile, plus 37.93p a day. That is £25 below the price cap over the same year.
Measured over 17 complete days rather than the full year, so this figure is not comparable with the ones above it.
- EDF FreePhase Static
£807a year
26.76p per kWh on this profile, plus 37.93p a day. That is £15 below the price cap over the same year.
Measured over 11 complete days rather than the full year, so this figure is not comparable with the ones above it.
- EDF Pod Power
£875a year
28.45p per kWh on this profile, plus 44.78p a day. That is £53 above the price cap over the same year.
Measured over 5 complete days rather than the full year, so this figure is not comparable with the ones above it.
- EDF Go Electric
£877a year
28.55p per kWh on this profile, plus 44.78p a day. That is £55 above the price cap over the same year.
Measured over 5 complete days rather than the full year, so this figure is not comparable with the ones above it.
- EDF Pod Point Plug & Power
£1,141a year
29.10p per kWh on this profile, plus 113.28p a day. That is £319 above the price cap over the same year.
Measured over 62 complete days rather than the full year, so this figure is not comparable with the ones above it.
How these figures were worked out
Each tariff’s real half-hourly prices for London were weighted by when the ordinary household, single-rate meter profile uses electricity, averaged over every complete day in the window, then multiplied by 2,500 kWh a year with the standing charge added on top.
The profile is an assumption, not a measurement of you. If you have your own half-hourly data, the smart-meter replay costs your actual readings against these tariffs in your browser, which is exact where this is modelled.
- Overnight 00:00–06:00 sits at the base level, which is standing load rather than activity.
- A morning rise from 06:00 to 09:00, a shallower daytime from 09:00 to 16:00.
- The evening peak runs 16:00–22:00 and is highest between 18:00 and 20:00, at about three times the overnight base.
- This is our shape, not Elexon’s published coefficients — see the module header for why.
Economy 7 and other dual-register tariffs are not ranked here. Costing one means knowing which half hours are charged at the night rate, and that switching time is set per meter and per region and is not published in the data these pages read. Rather than assume a window and present the result as a measurement, they are left out. Their day and night rates are shown in full on each tariff’s own page, and the smart-meter replay can cost your own readings, because your meter knows the switching time even though this data does not.
