E ON UK : 22/01/2016 11:07 E.ON launches cheapest dual fuel energy tariff in Britain priced at £769

E.ON has made a new version of its one year dual fuel fixed tariff available which is the cheapest energy tariff available in Britain today. E.ON Energy Fixed 1 Year v19 is priced at £769 a year for the average unrestricted dual fuel customer who pays by fixed monthly Direct Debit with paperless bills.

The tariff is available to new and existing customers. Any E.ON customer wishing to change to the tariff can do so without any exit fee being applied.

Other key customer aspects connected to the tariff include:

• Price Alert:Once customers have opted in E.ON automatically tells customers of new equivalent fixed deals if / when they are offered

• Discounts - simple and fair:These are provided as a clear monetary value, not a percentage discount. E.ON customers can receive:

  • Up to £70 a year for paying by fixed monthly Direct Debit (£35 per fuel) or by Smart Pay As You Go;

  • £20 a year for having a dual fuel account;

  • Up to £10 a year for paperless billing (£5 per fuel).

• Rewards:Rewards are available for all residential customers who have an electricity or dual fuel account and opt in to E.ON Reward Points. Customers will be awarded up to 1,500 E.ON Reward Points a year, which are accrued on a daily basis and awarded monthly. These points can be exchanged either for Tesco Clubcard points or Bonusbonds Multistore vouchers. Almost two million customers have chosen to receive E.ON Reward Points since the scheme launched in December 2013 and E.ON has given away more than £10 million worth of benefits to these customers so far. E.ON Rewards has recently been announced as the energy industry's best rewards scheme by uSwitch.com in its 2015 Energy Customer Satisfaction Report, an independent report based on research with 5,300 consumers.

• E.ON Energy Fund:The £6 million E.ON Energy Fund has been set up to help people struggling with their energy bills. Eligible pensioners, families, people with disabilities or sickness, and those on low incomes can apply for help with the payment of energy debt and the provision or replacement of white goods and gas boilers. The E.ON Energy Fund is open to all energy customers, regardless of their supplier, and E.ON has so far helped more than 2,500 households with some £1.5 million worth of support since the Fund launched in April 2015.

Notes to editors

1. E.ON Energy Fixed 1 Year v19 is currently cheaper than any unbundled (e.g. not contingent on a boiler purchase) tariff offered by any of Britain's energy suppliers. The offer is applicable to dual fuel and electricity only customers across all regions on standard and Economy 7 meters. The comparison against other suppliers is based on tariffs that are openly available (e.g. excludes collective switch tariffs) using Ofgem typical annual consumption of 3,100 kWh for single rate electricity meters, 1,935 kWh day units and 2,365 kwh night units for Economy 7 meters and 12,500 kWh for gas. The offer is not available to prepayment, restricted hour tariff meters, gas only customers or non-residential customers. Average annual bill of £769 based on payment by fixed monthly Direct Debit with paperless billing (£779 without paperless bill discount). Correct as at 22 January 2016. E.ON can withdraw the tariff from sale at any time.
