EDF launches new tracker tariff guaranteed to beat the cap
- New fixed-term tracker tariff will beat the cap by £50
- Tariff will offer discounted standing charges for all
- Customers can track the predicted cap prices on EDF’s dedicated tracker page
EDF has launched a new tracker tariff £50 below Ofgem’s price cap, providing peace of mind that what customers pay for their energy is guaranteed to beat the cap.
EDF Ensure is a unique one-year, fixed-term tracker tariff with a £25 per fuel discount applied through standing charges, the fixed daily charges levied on customers’ bills, which covers the fixed cost of supplying electricity and gas to homes.
By discounting standing charges as opposed to the unit rates, all EDF customers who sign-up to Ensure will see the same financial benefit, even if they are low energy consumers or on a Pay As You Go meter.
The tariff will launch discounted against the 1st July price cap level, offering an annual average cost of £1,518 until the next Ofgem price cap change on 1st October.
Rich Hughes Director of Retail at EDF, said: “While the price cap will come down from July, it is expected to increase once again this Winter. Our new tariff will guarantee that customers who have already cut back or made changes to improve energy efficiency will pay proportionately less.
“Standing charges have increased significantly over the previous couple of years and this new tariff is another way we are helping customers save cash and carbon.”
Last Winter the energy provider invested £7.5m by rolling back standing charges for 250,000 of its most vulnerable customers after charges had gone up by 55% since April, 2021.
To help customers stay informed of current prices and potential upcoming quarterly price cap changes, EDF created a dedicated tracker webpage, available to all consumers and updated every Tuesday, providing the very latest in cap predictions.
To sign up to the tariff, customers will need to have or agree for a smart meter to be installed. Smart meters are free to be installed and provide a range of benefits including EDF’s exclusive Energy Hub platform where customers can access a personalised view of their energy use. The tariff is available to new and existing customers on Direct Debit, Cash Cheque and Pay As you Go and backed by zero carbon electricity.
The energy provider has found that customers that use Energy Hub to understand their usage are able to actively reduce their bills by up to £41 a year whilst also reducing their carbon footprint.
EDF customers and their friends can also get an additional £50 off of their bill by signing up to 'Refer a Friend' which is found in 'MyAccount' online.
To sign up to EDF Ensure existing customers can do so via MyAccount online or via the EDF app, or new customers can sign up here.
