- 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

- A unit rate of €0.17 places Energie at 10 of 23 brands ranked.

Cons

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.
Energie
What does a unit of electricity cost on an Energie tariff?+
Energie charges a unit rate of €0.17 for electricity, and adds a standing charge of €35 on top. The unit rate is the part that follows the market, while the standing charge is the fixed part of the bill that stays the same whatever you use. Both figures are quoted in euros.
Is there an exit fee if I switch supplier early?+
The exit fee is €0, and the contract runs a fixed term of 12 months. A household can therefore move house, change supplier or renegotiate without paying to break the deal. On our data that exit fee position is 1 of 29 brands ranked.
