Pros and cons
Alperia
Pros
- Exit fees are €0, so leaving early carries no charge on the green plans
- Green supply runs at 100% renewable, backed by certificates
- A €0.13 unit rate that ranks ahead of many suppliers on unit rate alone
Cons
- Supply is limited to Trentino Alto Adige, so most of the country cannot switch to it
- The standing charge of €109 ranks mid-table rather than near the cheapest
- Green claims rest on certificates rather than on the supplier's own generation
Endesa
Pros
- Exit fee of €0 means a fixed term can be ended early without a charge, which is unusual in this group.
- Unit rate of €0.12 and standing charge of €2.85 sit at the competitive end of the suppliers listed here.
- A tethered home charger costs €1,099 with installation included, gives power of 7.4 to 22 kW and carries a warranty of 3 years.
Cons
- Tariff choice is narrower than some rivals: fixed, time of use and ev covers fixed, time-of-use and EV, while Powerpeers lists dynamic, fixed and variable.
- A green tariff does not appear in fixed, time of use and ev, though Electricity Ratings includes fixed, ev and time of use.
- Coverage is limited to Spain, Canarias and Baleares, so households in other markets need a different supplier.
Who each suits
Alperia
Who it suits
- Households in Trentino Alto Adige that want renewable electricity at a fair unit rate
- Anyone planning to move house or supplier within the fixed term, since exit fees are €0
- EV owners who want solar divert and installation included with their charger
Who should look elsewhere
- Households outside Trentino Alto Adige, since it serves IT only
- EV drivers who want a time of use tariff, which Powerpeers and Endesa both list
- Shoppers chasing the lowest unit rate in the market rather than a fair mid-table one
Endesa
Who it suits
- Households in Spain, Canarias or Baleares that want electricity and gas from one supplier with an exit fee of €0.
- EV owners who want a tethered charger fitted at home and linked to the electricity tariff.
- Customers who expect phone help, since email, chat and phone includes phone and chat alongside email.
Who should look elsewhere
- Powerpeers readers who want a dynamic or variable tariff, since dynamic, fixed and variable lists both and fixed, time of use and ev does not.
- Anyone set on a green tariff, which Electricity Ratings offers in fixed, ev and time of use but Endesa does not list.
- Households outside Spain, Canarias and Baleares, and readers who prefer the fixed-only setup of Base Power Company in fixed.

Questions about each
Alperia
Does it cost anything to leave Alperia early?+
No. Exit fees on the green plans are €0, so you can switch supplier before the term ends without a charge. Fixed terms still run for 12, 36 and 60, but the commitment does not come with a penalty for walking away from it.
How renewable is the green electricity?+
The green plans are described as 100% renewable. That claim is backed by certificates rather than by electricity the supplier generates itself, which is worth weighing if you prefer supply from owned generation.
Endesa
Does it cost anything to leave an Endesa contract early?+
The exit fee listed for the Conecta de Endesa plan is €0, so ending a fixed term early carries no charge. That stands out among the suppliers in this comparison, several of which price a fee for switching. It makes Endesa easier to move away from if wholesale prices move against you later.
What does a unit of electricity cost from Endesa?+
The unit rate on Conecta de Endesa is €0.12, with a standing charge of €2.85 added to the bill. In this comparison the unit rate ranks 6 of 23 and the standing charge 3 of 16, putting both figures near the competitive end of the group.
