Untied export rate
Fuse Energy pays 13p export, no switch needed
Fuse Energy offers a flat 13p per kWh for solar export without needing to move your import supply. Most top export rates require the same supplier for both. Fuse is open to anyone with MCS certification and a smart meter. You can switch export alone.

EDF GoElectric charges 6.99p per kWh from 11pm to 6am, one of the cheapest overnight EV rates. A full 60kWh charge costs under £5. The off-peak rate covers everything in your home, not just the car. It is a 12-month fixed tariff.
