Fixed Price Contracts for Gas and Electricity
In uncertain times, flexibility is vital, here at EDF, we offer a range of supply contracts that help energy consultants manage client risk.
Fixed Price Contracts: Provide stability, peace of mind with no sudden energy price increases and allow for budget predictability.
A fixed tariff gives you peace of mind and makes it easier to budget. You’ll pay a fixed price for your energy, so if wholesale prices go up, the price you pay stays the same for the length of your contract; protecting you from wholesale energy price increases during your contract.
Fixed + Peace of Mind – EDF offer fully fixed contracts for business customers. Our Fixed + Peace of Mind contract gives complete budget certainty as it fixes the price of your energy and your non-energy costs. With Fixed + Peace of Mind, you’ll know exactly what you’re paying. You can find more information on our Fixed + Peace of Mind product here.
