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.

Selectra expert
Which E.ON Next tariff fits you, and what will you actually pay?
E.ON Next runs eight active domestic tariffs in May 2026: a default variable (Next Flex), a guaranteed cap-discount variable (Next Pledge), two fixed deals (12-Month Fixed v6 and Next Online v3), three load-specific tariffs (Next Drive for EVs, Next Heat Pump and Next Tracker) and a Smart Export Guarantee tariff (Next Export). The right choice depends on three questions: do you want certainty or upside, do you have a smart meter, and do you have an EV or a heat pump in the home. The cards below explain who each tariff fits and what you will actually pay.
Next Flex
variable · default
Best fit if — New customers, recently migrated Npower or legacy E.ON households, and anyone who values the flexibility of being able to switch at any time with no exit fee. The right home while you decide whether to fix.
Skip if — You actively want to capture savings against the Ofgem price cap. Next Pledge is structurally cheaper for the same risk profile, and the fixed deals beat Flex on price most of the year.
What you'll actually pay
24.50 p/kWh electricity + 53.80 p/day standing charge, 5.65 p/kWh gas + 32.00 p/day standing charge. On a typical 2,700 kWh electricity + 11,500 kWh gas dual-fuel household that works out at about £1,627 a year at Q2 2026 cap levels.
A safe holding tariff, not a financially competitive choice. Use as a stepping stone to Pledge, the fixed deals or Tracker.
Next Pledge
variable · guaranteed cap discount
Best fit if — Households that want to beat the cap without locking into a fixed price. Pledge sits a guaranteed amount below the Ofgem cap for 12 months, so you keep the cap upside if wholesale prices fall, while paying less every quarter than the Flex book.
Skip if — You want a fully predictable bill for the next 12 months. Pledge still moves up and down with the cap, so winter bills can rise materially if the cap rises.
What you'll actually pay
23.77 p/kWh electricity + 53.80 p/day standing charge, 5.48 p/kWh gas + 32.00 p/day standing charge. On a typical dual-fuel household that works out at about £1,590 a year, around £37 below the cap.
The single most popular plan for engaged Flex customers. Better than Flex on price, less commitment than a fix.
Next 12-Month Fixed v6
fixed · 12 months
Best fit if — Households who want a predictable monthly direct debit for the next year and are willing to pay a £50 per-fuel exit fee for that certainty. The right home if you expect the Ofgem cap to rise over the contract length.
Skip if — You expect the cap to fall (Pledge and Flex track the cap down, the fix does not), or you are moving house in the next 12 months and the exit fee would bite.
What you'll actually pay
23.30 p/kWh electricity + 53.80 p/day standing charge, 5.35 p/kWh gas + 32.00 p/day standing charge. On a typical dual-fuel household that works out at about £1,556 a year, around £71 below the cap.
The default fix. Better priced than Flex, cheaper than the cap, with the trade-off of an exit fee outside the final 49 days.
Next Online v3
fixed · 12 months, online only
Best fit if — App-first households who manage everything online and never need to call. Online v3 prices a touch below the standard 12-month fix in exchange for paperless billing and no phone sign-up route.
Skip if — You prefer paper bills, you need phone support to set up the account, or you do not trust an app-only service for a 12-month commitment.
What you'll actually pay
22.90 p/kWh electricity + 53.80 p/day standing charge, 5.20 p/kWh gas + 32.00 p/day standing charge. On a typical dual-fuel household that works out at about £1,524 a year, around £103 below the cap.
The cheapest predictable plan on the price sheet. Right for confident digital customers who want a 12-month lock-in at the best E.ON Next rate.
Next Drive
fixed · EV time-of-use
Best fit if — EV households with a SMETS2 smart meter who can shift the bulk of car charging into the cheap 00:00 to 07:00 window. Genuinely transformative for high-mileage drivers running 8,000 km a year or more on home charging.
Skip if — You drive an EV but mostly charge at public chargers or at work, you have a SMETS1 meter that has not been upgraded, or your daytime electricity use is unusually high (Drive's peak rate is slightly above Pledge).
What you'll actually pay
24.20 p/kWh peak / 6.70 p/kWh overnight (00:00 to 07:00), 5.35 p/kWh gas. An EV driver charging 3,500 kWh overnight and using 2,000 kWh in the daytime saves around £550 a year versus the same load on Flex.
A category leader for EV households. The cheap overnight rate is the single biggest lever on a UK household electricity bill in 2026.
Next Heat Pump
fixed · heat pump
Best fit if — Households who have replaced a gas boiler with an air-source or ground-source heat pump and now use materially more electricity than a typical home. The lower whole-day unit rate offsets the heat-pump load.
Skip if — You do not yet have a heat pump installed, or your installation is not registered with E.ON Next. The tariff is gated by a heat-pump declaration and meter check.
What you'll actually pay
22.20 p/kWh electricity + 53.80 p/day standing charge, 5.35 p/kWh gas + 32.00 p/day standing charge. A typical heat-pump household using 6,000 kWh of electricity saves around £140 a year versus the same load on Flex.
The right home for any verified heat-pump household. Apply through the in-app heat-pump declaration once the install is commissioned.
Next Tracker
tracker · daily wholesale
Best fit if — Engaged smart-meter households happy to read the daily rate in the app each morning and shift heavy loads (dishwasher, washing machine, EV charging) to cheaper days. Genuinely cheap when wholesale prices are low.
Skip if — You want a predictable bill, you do not have a SMETS2 meter, or you are not the kind of household that will actually check the daily rate. Tracker can spike on cold winter days when wholesale gas peaks.
What you'll actually pay
Daily-varying unit rate, recent average around 21.40 p/kWh electricity and 5.10 p/kWh gas, plus 53.80 p/day electricity and 32.00 p/day gas standing charges. Recent 12-month average bill on a typical dual-fuel household: around £1,475 a year, around £150 below the cap.
The cheapest plan on the sheet over the last year, with the highest day-to-day variability. Not for everyone, brilliant for the engaged.
Next Export
export · solar buy-back
Best fit if — Import customers with rooftop solar and a smart meter that exports half-hourly data. The flat 4.50 p/kWh SEG rate is among the more competitive flat export tariffs on the market in 2026.
Skip if — You do not yet have a smart meter exporting half-hourly data, or you would prefer a tariff that pays more during peak hours (some competitors offer a higher peak-hours export rate).
What you'll actually pay
4.50 p/kWh paid to you for every kWh exported. A typical 4 kWp rooftop array exporting 2,000 kWh a year earns around £90 a year as a credit against the import bill.
Sensible bundled choice if you are already on an E.ON Next import tariff. Worth checking Octopus Outgoing Fixed at renewal each year.
All annual estimates use E.ON Next published rates from 14 May 2026 and assume a typical 2,700 kWh electricity + 11,500 kWh gas dual-fuel household with a Midlands postcode. Your actual bill depends on your region, your meter type and your real annual kWh. Run the Selectra comparator on your last 12 months of bills before signing.
How to compare UK tariffs
Three numbers that decide your bill
1
Unit rate (p/kWh) — the cost of the energy you actually use. The Energy Price Cap caps the unit rate on the default (Standard Variable) tariff. Fixed tariffs are usually slightly above or below the cap.
2
Standing charge (p/day) — what you pay per day even if you use zero energy. Covers network costs, smart-meter rollout and policy levies. About 53p/day for electricity and 32p/day for gas on a typical 2026 tariff.
3
Exit fee — what you pay to leave early on a fixed tariff. Typically £25-£75 per fuel. None on Standard Variable. None in the final 49 days of any fixed contract.

Is E.ON Next the cheapest for your usage?
Headline rates lie. The only way to know is to compare against your real annual kWh. Selectra's comparison uses your postcode + 12-month usage to find the cheapest current deal.
Every UK domestic energy tariff has two components: a standing charge (a flat fee in pence per day, even if you use zero energy), and a unit rate (in pence per kWh you actually consume). Your bill = (standing charge × days) + (unit rate × kWh used) + VAT (5%). Compare both numbers — a tariff with a low unit rate but a high standing charge can cost more than the reverse if you use little energy.
The Energy Price Cap set by Ofgem limits how much suppliers can charge for the default (Standard Variable) tariff. It is reviewed every three months. It does not cap fixed-term tariffs — those can be cheaper or more expensive than the cap depending on wholesale prices.
Most UK fixed-term tariffs include an exit fee (typical range: £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. The default Standard Variable tariff has no exit fee.
Many UK suppliers offer 'green' or '100% renewable' tariffs which match your annual consumption with REGO certificates. This is a paper-trail match, not a guarantee that the electrons reaching your home are renewable — but it does fund continued renewable generation. Tariffs marked '100% renewable' below carry REGO backing.
If wholesale prices are forecast to rise, fixing locks in today's price for the contract length. If they are forecast to fall, the Standard Variable tariff (capped by Ofgem) tracks the wholesale market down. The right choice depends on your appetite for stability vs. potential savings — Selectra's comparison tool factors in both.
