Are dynamic tariffs always cheaper than fixed contracts?

Are dynamic tariffs always cheaper?

Short answer: no, not automatically. Dynamic tariffs give you opportunities to pay less, but only if your usage pattern responds to price signals.

When can you save money?

• If you’re flexible about when you run big loads (EV, washing machine, boiler).
• If you use price alerts and automations to avoid expensive peak hours.
• If you’re willing to adapt your routines slightly now and then.

When might a fixed contract be better?

• If your usage pattern is rigid and can’t realistically be shifted.
• If price certainty is more important than potential savings.
• If you never open apps and don’t want to deal with notifications.

Leafy Energy is built for customers who do want to steer their consumption a bit. In the app you can compare how your profile performs against a hypothetical fixed tariff.
