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
Tibber
Pros
- Tariffs in fixed and dynamic shapes let you pick a known rate or follow the market, and the fuel is listed as electricity so the quote stays simple.
- The renewable mix is 100% and rests on certificates, which is how a household backs a green claim on an ordinary electricity supply.
- 1,000,000 customers use the service, and the mobile app is central to how the tariff and usage are managed day to day.
Cons
- A smart meter is required, so a home waiting on an installation has to fit one before a Tibber tariff can start.
- Support runs on email, chat and help centre only, so an urgent billing problem has to go in writing or into a chat window.
- Supply covers electricity, so anyone wanting gas alongside electricity needs a second 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
Tibber
Who it suits
- Households in Germany, Netherlands and Norway that already run, or can fit, a smart meter and want their electricity managed from a mobile app.
- People who like choosing their own level of risk, since fixed and dynamic tariffs cover a fixed rate alongside a market-linked one.
- Buyers who put green credentials first, as the mix is 100% and rests on certificates.
Who should look elsewhere
- Households without a smart meter, and anyone wanting gas, because supply covers electricity only.
- Buyers who want to phone a supplier, since support runs on email, chat and help centre only.
- Shoppers who want a variable or green option alongside fixed, where Powerpeers lists dynamic, fixed and variable.

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.
Tibber
What does a unit of Tibber electricity cost?+
Tibber publishes a unit rate of €0.21 to €0.50, and on the comparison it ranks 13 of 23 brands on that figure. That is a mid-range position, so the entry price is neither the sharpest nor the heaviest among the suppliers listed.
What happens when the fixed term ends?+
The fixed tariff is priced for a term of 12 months, with unit rates published as €0.21 to €0.50. Since that rate covers the term it is bought for, the figure worth checking before signing is what applies once the term rolls over, and the dynamic option is the alternative at that point.
