EDF releases new cap-busting fixed tariff

• Households can fix and avoid price cap prices with EDF’s new Simply Fixed Nov26v2
• Customers could save £141 a year against the price cap, with standard variable prices expected to stay high this winter 

EDF is helping customers beat the Standard Variable Tariff (SVT) with its new fixed tariff, the cheapest energy-only fixed price among major suppliers^[1], priced £141 below the price cap.  

Available direct, the Simply Fixed Nov26v2 tariff, at £1,613 a year for an average dual fuel customer paying by direct debit, guarantees savings when compared to a Standard Variable Tariff (SVT). 

And those price cap prices are set to increase next April, with the EDF price cap predictor forecasting a rise to £1,835 come April 1st. 

Rich Hughes, Director of Retail at EDF, said: “Going into winter, price uncertainty can be a worry for customers especially with prices still fluctuating, so we are pleased to launch this new tariff that protects customers against what are likely to be significant increases in April next year.”  

Due to volatility of wholesale market prices, the deal may be withdrawn at any time and is available to both new and existing customers when signing up directly through EDF and exit fees of £50 per fuel will apply.  

EDF frequently offers the cheapest fixed rate deals amongst major suppliers and is helping more customers save cash on their bills this month with its ‘Sunday Saver’ challenge. ‘Sunday Saver’ is open to anyone with a smart meter regardless of payment type and encourages customers to shift some of their electricity use away from weekday peak hours (4pm – 7pm)^[2] to earn up to 16 free hours of electricity the following Sunday. Sunday Saver customers have already earned over 12.3 million kWh of free electricity (6.8 million hours), with over £3 million being credited onto Brits’ bills^[3]. 

EDF has a range of tariffs which can help save customers money and have just introduced FreePhase, a first-of-its-kind electricity tariff with three pricing rates that reflect daily wholesale energy changes. 

For an extra £50 off your energy bill and the same off for a friend, EDF customers can also sign up to ‘Refer a Friend’ via MyAccount online.  

Existing customers can sign up to the new tariffs in MyAccount or in the EDF app with new customers able to join here.

As of September 2025, the Big Six energy utility companies in the UK are: British Gas, Octopus Energy, E.ON Next, Ovo, EDF, and Scottish Power: https://www.ofgem.gov.uk/retail-market-indicators. Based on prices as of 24th October 2025. 

[2] From 1 October and 31 December 2025 the energy price cap is £1,755 a year. EDF forecasts the energy price cap will decrease to £1,736 a year for the period between 1 January and 31 March 2026 and then increase to £1,835 for the period between 1 April and 30 June 2026. Figures are based on Ofgem ‘typical’ consumption. 'Typical' yearly consumption is 2,700kWh electricity and 11,500kWh gas based on a national average of regional prices for a dual fuel customer with a standard electricity meter who pays by Direct Debit. 'Typical' consumption assumes the price cap does not change over a full year. In reality, the price cap changes every three months. Fixed tariff rates remain the same for the duration of the tariff and are not covered by the energy price cap.
