Advice from our Energy Expert Tom

‘The gas price has been fluctuating for months. If you’re considering switching to a fixed contract, now might be a good time to do so. A 1-year contract offers certainty for one year, while a 3-year contract provides longer-term security, often with lower discounts. Keep in mind that with a fixed contract, you won’t immediately benefit from falling prices.

A dynamic contract moves with the market and is a good option if you want to be flexible. I currently recommend variable contracts less because they offer little certainty and you don’t benefit enough from market movements.

Do you have solar panels? Then a fixed contract is advisable due to the net metering regulation that applies until 2027. Because of unclear regulations around dynamic contracts and net metering, we do not recommend these for solar panel owners. For customers with solar panels, our comparator takes into account the feed-in costs, which you will see as an additional price component in the rates, and the costs are included in the net annual price.’

Compare energy with solar panels

Do you have solar panels? Then comparing energy providers works a bit differently. Energy providers have a different offer for households with solar panels, because you generate your own electricity. Often, you use the electricity yourself in your household, but you can’t always use it all. The electricity you don’t use is automatically fed back into the power grid. You can offset the returned kWh on your energy bill. The provider then settles the energy you have taken from them with the energy you have fed back into the grid. And if you feed back more than you consume, you will receive a feed-in tariff for that. For feeding electricity back into the grid, a large number of providers charge feed-in fees.

In our tool, we have included all these price components. The only thing we ask from you is your expected electricity generation. How many kWh do you expect to generate this year? If you don’t know, we will estimate it based on the number of solar panels. You can still use our energy comparer!

In our comparison tool, you only need to look at the net annual price. We have already included all the components for you. This makes comparing energy a bit easier for you. Still have questions? Our customer service is happy to help.
