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 2025-11-05 to 2026-11-05.
The Ofgem price cap for this region works out at £822 a year on the same consumption — 26.60p per kWh plus 42.92p a day. Cap period 2026-10-01 to 2026-12-31.
- EDF Heat Pump Tracker
£758a year
24.05p per kWh on this profile, plus 42.91p a day. That is £64 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
£808a year
26.06p per kWh on this profile, plus 42.91p a day. That is £13 below the price cap over the same year.
Across 12 complete months it ranged from 24.90p in April 2026 to 27.00p in January 2026.
- EDF Empower Tracker
—a year
27.33p per kWh on this profile, and it publishes no standing charge.
Across 10 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
£769a year
24.53p per kWh on this profile, plus 42.65p a day. That is £53 below the price cap over the same year.
Across 8 complete months it ranged from 17.39p in April 2026 to 30.89p in October 2026.
Measured over 239 complete days rather than the full year, so this figure is not comparable with the ones above it.
- EDF Simply Tracker
£797a year
26.59p per kWh on this profile, plus 36.06p a day. That is £25 below the price cap over the same year.
Measured over 34 complete days rather than the full year, so this figure is not comparable with the ones above it.
- EDF FreePhase Static
£860a year
29.12p per kWh on this profile, plus 36.06p a day. That is £38 above the price cap over the same year.
Measured over 6 complete days rather than the full year, so this figure is not comparable with the ones above it.
- EDF Simply Fixed
£889a year
29.30p per kWh on this profile, plus 42.91p a day. That is £68 above the price cap over the same year.
Measured over 7 complete days rather than the full year, so this figure is not comparable with the ones above it.
- EDF Pod Power
£949a year
31.71p per kWh on this profile, plus 42.91p a day. That is £128 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
£952a year
31.81p per kWh on this profile, plus 42.91p a day. That is £130 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
£1,188a year
31.71p per kWh on this profile, plus 108.14p a day. That is £366 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.
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.
Full method in our tariff pages, and every figure is inc-VAT on a direct debit basis.
