About

Who is E.ON Next?

Registered as E.ON Next Energy Limited, E.ON Next uses this legal name for Ofgem licence filings, contracts and any formal communications. The trading name customers see on bills is the shorter, more recognisable form.

The company is headquartered in Coventry, where it runs its senior management, customer operations and regulatory liaison with Ofgem.

E.ON Next was established in 2019. A longer track record means more years operating under Ofgem rules and a wider history of customer feedback, billing systems and regulatory interactions.

E.ON Next is part of the E.ON SE (Germany) group, which provides shared governance, financial backing and a broader pool of expertise in trading, hedging and regulatory work.

The company is regulated by Ofgem, the UK's energy regulator, and its complaint handling falls under the Energy Ombudsman alternative dispute resolution scheme.

Current tariffs

E.ON Next tariffs: as of 14 May 2026

E.ON Next is a fully Ofgem-licensed domestic supplier, so its Next Flex standard variable tariff is capped quarterly by the Ofgem Energy Price Cap. Fixed and time-of-use tariffs (Next Pledge, Next 12-month Fixed, Next Drive, Next Heat Pump and Next Tracker) sit outside the cap and can be cheaper or more expensive than the Flex headline rate depending on wholesale prices. Rates below are the typical single-rate Midlands values for direct debit, excluding VAT, taken from the live eonnext.com/tariffs price sheet.

Common questions

E.ON Next — frequently asked questions

E.ON Next is regulated by Ofgem and operates under a standard domestic-supply licence. Whether it is the right supplier for your household depends on your unit rate, standing charge, customer-service rating and any add-on services (HomeCare, Warm Home Discount eligibility). Always quote your annual kWh consumption when comparing prices — the headline rate alone does not predict your bill.

Switching to E.ON Next takes about five working days under the new Faster Switching service, and your supply is never interrupted. Sign up online with your address, postcode and a recent meter reading. E.ON Next will arrange the transfer with your current supplier, including the final meter reading and the closing bill.

The UK grid is supplied by a mix of gas, nuclear, wind, solar, biomass and imports. E.ON Next declares its fuel mix annually under Ofgem rules — see the fuel-mix section above for the current figures. Some tariffs are sold as 'green' or '100% renewable', which means the supplier matches your annual consumption with renewable electricity certificates (REGOs) rather than physically delivering renewable electrons to your home.

Most UK fixed-term tariffs include an exit fee (typically £25-£75 per fuel) if you switch before the contract ends. You can switch without an exit fee in the last 49 days of your contract. Variable tariffs (including the default tariff capped by the Energy Price Cap) have no exit fees.

You can reach E.ON Next on 0808 501 5200, Mon-Thu 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.; Fri 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.. For a full breakdown of phone lines (emergency, prepayment, HomeCare, bereavement, Welsh, Relay UK), see the E.ON Next contact page.
