It comes after recent research by E.ON revealed nine in ten (89%) Brits have being more environmentally friendly on their list of priorities for 2021². Alongside its existing fixed and variable rate tariffs, E.ON Next now offers:

Climate+

• A new tariff which provides 100% renewable electricity¹ as standard and offsets the carbon emissions associated with customers’ gas use.
• E.ON Next will offset the gas by investing in carbon neutral initiatives, including the funding of clean energy projects around the world through carbon emission reduction certificates.
• And for every customer who signs up to Climate+, E.ON Next will fund the planting of five new trees with the charity One Tree Planted, supporting the Amazon Rainforest, and directly helping to tackle the global climate crisis.
• The tariff is priced at £1,075 for a typical dual fuel customer.

Next Drive

• For EV drivers, E.ON Next now offers 100% renewable electricity¹ as standard, E.ON Next’s best value tariff and cheaper overnight charging.
• The tariff allows drivers to charge their cars at a fixed price of 4p per kWh between midnight and 4am, potentially saving customers up to £188 a year. Outside of off-peak hours, Next Drive is priced at 17.6p per kWh.
• Customers will need to use the free Next Drive app to ’set it and forget it’ and automatically schedule charging at the cheapest off-peak times. Customers can also use the app to monitor the energy use, costs and savings of their at-home charging over time.
