Which EDF tariff could you use?
| Supplier and offer | Export payment | Buy electricity from supplier? | Buy its installation? | Battery required? | Important conditions |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| EDF Export Exclusive 12m V3 | 18p/kWh 12-month offer; term sheet governs price status | Required | Required | Not required | Qualifying EDF or Contact Solar route for solar, battery or both after 2 March 2026; see the tariff terms and term sheet. |
| EDF Export 12m V2 | 13p/kWh fixed for one year | Required | Not required | Not required | For eligible existing residential EDF electricity customers. This offer version differs from the July snapshot; an existing customer’s contract may retain a different price. |
| EDF SEG Export Variable Value | 5.6p/kWh variable | Required | Not required | Not required | Exclusive to EDF electricity customers; EDF says the rate can move up or down. |
| EDF SEG Export Variable | 3p/kWh variable | Not required | Not required | Not required | Available whether EDF or another supplier provides the home's imported electricity. |
Check the conditions for the higher rates
For the Exclusive offer, ask EDF to confirm that your purchase and installation qualify. For Export 12m V2, check that your home electricity account and solar system meet the terms.
An illustrative payment calculation
For example, sending 2,000 kWh to the grid at 13p per kWh would earn £260. Use the electricity you actually export, rather than everything your panels generate.
Before you choose
If an offer means changing electricity supplier, compare what you would pay for electricity as well as what you would earn. Include the daily standing charge and any equipment you need to buy.
