EDF launches cheapest fixed tariff days before price cap rise
EDF has today released a new fixed price tariff, Simply Fixed Jun26v9, which is the cheapest, energy-only fixed tariff, available for new customers among major suppliers[1].
Priced at £1,680 for an average dual fuel customer paying by direct debit, the new tariff offers new and existing customers a chance to secure savings of £169 against the new energy price cap level which will rise to £1,849 on 1st April. Customers can also benefit from no exit fees when signing up directly through EDF.
With potential for significant change in wholesale prices later this year, EDF’s price cap prediction service is currently predicting that the Simply Fixed Jun26v9 tariff will be at least £81 cheaper than Ofgem’s price cap over winter.
Rich Hughes, Director of Retail at EDF said: “With the energy price cap set to rise next week, now is a critical time for customers to secure a fixed deal and avoid costly increases. It’s why we’re working hard to keep our prices as low as possible. The ongoing volatility in the market also emphasises the need for a long term, meaningful solution on affordability, and shows why a social tariff is still urgently needed to help those who are most vulnerable.”
A social tariff would provide a discounted rate to support vulnerable customers on fixed and low incomes.
EDF’s Simply Fixed 2Yr Apr27 is also competitively priced at £1,751.60 for an average dual fuel customer. And for customers that don’t wish to fix their price, EDF offers a 16-month tracker tariff, Simply Tracker Jun26. The tariff tracks at £50 below the price cap, with that £25 per fuel saving coming from standing charges rather than unit prices, to ensure those who sign up will see the same financial benefit even if they are low energy consumers. There is no smart meter requirement to sign up for the Simply Fixed or Tracker tariffs.
The deals could be removed at any time due to volatility in global wholesale prices.
EDF frequently offers the cheapest fixed rate deals amongst major suppliers and is helping more customers save cash on their bills with the return of its Sunday Saver challenge this month. ‘Sunday Saver’ challenges customers to shift some of their electricity use away from weekday peak hours (4pm – 7pm)[i] to earn up to 16 free hours of electricity the following Sunday. Customers can find out more about Sunday Saver and register their interest for the next challenge here.
Existing customers can sign up to the new tariffs in MyAccount or in the EDF app with new customers able to join here.
