What Are The Different Types Of Electricity Tariffs?

Tariff Type	Tariff Description
Fixed Tariff	A fixed tariff is when you have a set price for every unit of electricity used. It's useful for guaranteeing how much you will pay each month, offering protection against any price increases. However, it's important to note, that you will also be paying the same fixed amount should the prices drop.
Variable Tariff	A variable tariff or standard variable contract can increase and decrease over your contract length, based on market activity. There are usually no exit fees with a variable tariff and you can switch suppliers at any time in this case.
Dual Fuel Tariff	A dual fuel contract is when your gas and electricity bills are combined into one easy-to-manage bill. They can be either fixed or variable, and combining your energy with the same supplier can present discounts when bought together.
Pre Payment Tariff	A prepayment tariff is when you can purchase electricity in advance of using it. This is wholly dependent on the type of meter in your home. It can be a great way of budgeting your spending every month, however, it's worth knowing that prepayment unit prices can be slightly higher and there is an increased risk you may run out of electricity towards the end of the month.
Green Tariff	Green tariffs will provide you with electricity from renewable sources. You can opt for a fixed or variable rate, and can sometimes be cheaper than other standard tariffs.
Economy 7/ Economy 10	An Economy 7 or Economy 10 tariff is for households who tend to use more electricity at night. It guarantees a cheaper electricity rate after a certain night, and the price per unit can fluctuate on market pricing.

Can I Cancel My New Energy Contract?

You have the right to cancel within a 14-day cooling-off period. Bear in mind that if you cancel your switch within the 14-day cooling-off period, but after the five days it takes to switch, you’ll be billed for the electricity you used with your temporary supplier until you are switched back.

If you wait until after your 14-day period, then your switch will take around 15 days to complete, but your new supplier may offer you to choose a switching date 28 days ahead.

How Long Does Switching Electricity Take?

Switching electricity suppliers usually takes around 5 days to complete.
