About EDF

EDF Energy is the UK’s biggest generator of zero-carbon electricity*, powering over 3.7 million homes (and even services like the NHS and Royal Mail). With the EDF Energy student discount, you can save cash while going greener. Sign up to a tariff like Simply Fixed via Student Beans and score a gift card on top - yes, even if you already have an account.

Why we love EDF

Hannah Parsons

Hannah Parsons

Head of Product Marketing

EDF Energy isn’t just about lights-on and bills-paid - they’re flipping the switch on how the UK powers up. Think nuclear, wind, and solar for a greener grid, plus perks that are really worthwhile: like earning free Sunday electricity with their Saver Challenge (yep, that’s real), gift cards for new and existing customers, and refer-a-friend bonuses. With the EDF Energy student discount in play, it’s cleaner energy that doesn’t clean out your bank account.

Which tariff should I choose?

With Simply Fixed your unit rates and standing charge won't change for the length of your tariff.

Compare EDF’s Simply Fixed, Tracker and Standard Variable energy prices.
 
Own an electric vehicle (EV)? You might prefer EDF’s EV tariff, GoElectric. There’s also their Pod Point Plug & Power tariff which is a fixed tariff and charger bundle to help you start your EV journey

-You can save money by using electricity during cheaper times
-Customers who sign up to our Dynamic version can track prices to see when electricity is cheapest and free
