Important referral information

This page is intended for UK energy customers only.

Commission is not paid on all E.ON Next tariffs. E.ON Next does not pay commission on business tariffs, the Standard Variable tariff, Next Flex, or Next Pledge tariffs.

This is not a voucher code or discount code page. I am simply sharing my E.ON Next referral link for people comparing UK domestic energy tariffs.

Before switching, always check the latest tariff prices, eligibility rules, standing charges, exit fees and terms directly with E.ON Next.

Why consider E.ON Next?

E.ON Next is one of the larger UK energy suppliers and offers a mix of standard fixed tariffs, smart tariffs and specialist tariffs for different types of household.

That includes tariffs aimed at electric vehicle owners, heat pump owners, homes with solar and batteries, and customers who can shift some of their electricity use away from peak times.

The right tariff depends on how you use energy.

A cheap overnight electricity rate can be excellent if you have an EV, battery or flexible household usage. It may be less useful if most of your electricity use happens during more expensive peak periods.

Key E.ON Next tariffs

E.ON Next Drive

E.ON Next Drive is aimed at electric vehicle owners.

The key feature is cheaper overnight electricity, which can be used for EV charging. Depending on the tariff terms, this cheaper overnight rate may also apply to wider household electricity use, not just the car.

This could suit you if:

• You have an electric vehicle
• You regularly charge at home
• You can charge overnight
• You may also be able to shift other household electricity use into the cheaper period

Things to check before switching:

• The current off-peak rate
• The current day rate
• The off-peak time window
• Whether the cheap rate applies to the whole home
• Whether you need a smart meter
• Whether there are any exit fees

E.ON Next Drive Smart

E.ON Next Drive Smart is E.ON Next’s smart EV tariff.

It is designed around smart charging, where your car charging can be scheduled and managed to take advantage of cheaper electricity.

This could suit you if:

• You have a compatible electric vehicle
• You have a compatible charger
• You are happy to use smart charging
• You want the lowest available EV charging rate from E.ON Next, subject to eligibility

Things to check:

• Whether your EV is eligible
• Whether your charger is eligible
• Whether half-hourly smart meter readings are required
• What happens if you boost charge outside the smart charging schedule
• Whether the cheap rate applies to the whole house or just certain usage

E.ON Next Smart Saver

E.ON Next Smart Saver is a time-of-use tariff.

Instead of paying one electricity rate all day, you pay different rates at different times. This normally means cheaper off-peak periods and a more expensive peak period.

This could suit you if:

• You can avoid using lots of electricity at peak times
• You can run appliances during cheaper periods
• You have a battery that can charge when electricity is cheaper
• You are comfortable managing your usage around time periods

This kind of tariff needs a bit more thought than a flat-rate tariff.

It can work well if you are flexible. It can work badly if your home uses a lot of electricity during the expensive peak window.

E.ON Next Pumped

E.ON Next Pumped is aimed at homes with heat pumps.

The idea is to offer cheaper electricity at certain times, which may help reduce the running cost of a heat pump, particularly if you can make use of the lower-rate periods.

This could suit you if:

• You have a heat pump
• You can heat hot water during cheaper periods
• You can pre-heat the house without making it uncomfortable
• You have a battery that can charge during cheaper periods
• Your heating setup works well with time-of-use pricing

For heat pump owners, the cheapest unit rate is only part of the story.

A well-set-up heat pump often runs steadily, using weather compensation, rather than turning on and off like a gas boiler. So the key question is whether the cheaper periods match how your heating system actually works.

E.ON Next Optimise

E.ON Next Optimise is aimed at homes with solar panels and battery storage.

The idea is to use smart control to help decide when to import, store and export electricity. This may appeal to homes that already have solar and batteries and want more automation around buying and selling electricity.

This could suit you if:

• You have solar panels
• You have a compatible home battery
• You are happy with smart control of the battery
• You want a more automated approach to import and export

Things to check:

• Whether your inverter and battery are compatible
• How the tariff controls the battery
• Export rates
• Import rates
• Whether you are comfortable giving up some manual control

E.ON Next Pledge

E.ON Next Pledge is a tracker-style tariff designed to stay below the Ofgem price cap.

This may appeal to people who want something simpler than a time-of-use tariff, but who still want a tariff linked to the price cap rather than a conventional fixed deal.

However, E.ON Next does not pay commission on Next Pledge through this referral programme.

That means you should treat this section as general tariff information only, not as a referral recommendation.

E.ON Next Flex

E.ON Next Flex is the Standard Variable tariff.

This is the default-style tariff many customers may be on if they are not on a fixed or specialist smart tariff.

E.ON Next does not pay commission on Next Flex through this referral programme.

As with Next Pledge, treat this as general tariff information only.

E.ON Next fixed tariffs

E.ON Next also offers fixed tariffs.

A fixed tariff can be useful if you want price certainty for a set period. The trade-off is that you may not benefit in the same way if prices fall, and you may have exit fees depending on the tariff.

Things to check:

• Unit rates
• Standing charges
• Contract length
• Exit fees
• Whether gas and electricity are both included
• Whether a smart tariff may suit your usage better

Which E.ON Next tariff is best?

There is no single best E.ON Next tariff for everyone.

As a rough guide:

• If you have an EV, look at Next Drive or Next Drive Smart.
• If you have a heat pump, look at Next Pumped.
• If you have solar and a battery, look at Next Optimise.
• If you can shift usage away from peak times, look at Next Smart Saver.
• If you want something simpler, compare the fixed tariffs and Next Pledge.
• If you do not want to actively manage your usage, a specialist time-of-use tariff may not be the best fit.

The big question is whether the tariff matches your actual home.

A home with an EV, heat pump, solar and battery storage may suit a very different tariff from a home with fairly steady daytime usage and no flexible load.

My view

I would not switch to any tariff just because of a referral link.

The referral link is useful if you have already compared the options and decided E.ON Next is right for you.

Before switching, I would check:

• Your annual electricity usage
• Your annual gas usage, if you still use gas
• Your EV charging demand
• Your heat pump usage
• Whether you have solar panels
• Whether you have a home battery
• How much electricity you can shift into cheaper periods
• The current unit rates and standing charges
• Any exit fees
• Smart meter requirements
• Eligibility rules

The cheapest-looking tariff is not always the cheapest in practice.

Final checks before switching

Energy tariffs change regularly.

Before you switch, always check the latest prices directly with E.ON Next. Rates vary by region, meter type, payment method and tariff eligibility.

Also check whether your chosen tariff requires a smart meter, half-hourly readings, an EV, a compatible charger, a heat pump, solar panels or a home battery.

Do not assume that a tariff is right for you just because it works well for someone else.
