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
Good Energy
Pros
- Renewable electricity at 100%, secured through ppa, sits behind the whole range.
- Tariff types run to fixed, variable and ev, adding a variable option to the fixed, time of use and ev set listed by Endesa.
- The EV kit is a tethered charger at 22 kW with installation included, and solar divert is supported.
Cons
- An exit fee of £50 applies, which places Good Energy at 22 of 29 brands ranked on exit fee.
- Fixed terms are 12 months, so the rate is protected for a short stretch only.
- Support runs on email, phone and help centre, with no live chat or member forum in the list.
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
Good Energy
Who it suits
- EV owners in GB who charge at home overnight and want renewable supply from the same supplier.
- Households willing to accept a short fixed term and an exit fee in return for a low off-peak rate.
- People who want human help on email, phone and help centre rather than app-only self service.
Who should look elsewhere
- Drivers who want dynamic pricing: Powerpeers lists dynamic tariffs within dynamic, fixed and variable.
- Anyone needing a prepay option, which Electricity Ratings includes in fixed, ev and time of use but Good Energy leaves out of fixed, variable and ev.

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.
Good Energy
Does Good Energy supply gas as well as electricity?+
Yes. The fuel mix is electricity and gas, so the same supplier can cover both the electricity and gas side of a household. The company serves GB, which narrows it to a single market, and the tariff types on offer are fixed, variable and ev. Budgeting with the same supplier across both fuels usually simplifies the comparison.
What does charging an EV on this tariff cost?+
The off-peak rate on the Good Energy EV Charge tariff is £0.08, and that is the number to compare against other EV tariffs. Overnight charging is the point of the plan, so a household with a home charger and a normal nightly routine gets the benefit without changing habits. Charger and tariff pairing is listed as Good Energy EV Charge, so check your equipment matches before signing up.
