Welcoming Green Network Energy customers to EDF

You’ll move to an EDF tariff, which is different from the one you had with Green Network Energy. We guarantee that all customers will see a price decrease versus your current tariff until 30 September 2021(1).

We'll calculate your bill value from the date we were appointed up to 30 September 2021, and if there is no decrease, we'll apply a credit to your account accordingly.

Your new tariff will have no exit fees and your prices will be in your welcome letter. You can choose one of our fixed tariffs if you wish - but we ask that you please wait until your transfer to us is complete. Your start date will be in the welcome letter so please contact us after this date.

During the transfer period, we're unable to set up Direct Debits or make changes to your contract. However, once the transfer is complete you can easily make any payment changes online via MyAccount or by contacting us directly. Your transfer will be complete once we reach the start date noted in your welcome letter.

When your transfer is complete, depending on your payment type, your first billing period will begin from the day you switch to EDF.

For Cash Cheque customers this means a bill will be issued every month requesting payment of any outstanding balance.

If you have a monthly Direct Debit set up. We'll produce a statement within the first 6 months of your supply with EDF. We'll also review your Direct Debit amount to make sure you're paying the correct amount, covering how much energy you're using.

At the end of the 12 month period, we'll carry out a full Direct Debit review, again looking at your energy usage. We'll then ask for any outstanding amounts/or credit your account. We can then set the right monthly amount for the next year.

Prior to each billing period ending, We'll send you a request for a meter reading (unless you have a compatible smart meter). Giving us a meter reading at this point means we can more accurately calculate your ongoing monthly Direct Debit amounts as well as predicted energy usage.

Yes. There are no exit fees on your new EDF tariff. 

To ensure we bill you correctly, administrators for Green Network Energy are sending us your previous account details. We’ll treat them securely and in line with our privacy notice. The information will be used to help manage your account and collect any outstanding payments. Read our privacy policy
