Pros and cons
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.
Enel
Pros
- Exit fee of €0 puts Enel at 1 of 29 on leaving early, so switching the energy plan carries no charge at all.
- Unit rate of €0.11 ranks 3 of 23, which keeps the cost of each unit low against the suppliers compared here.
- Tariff types run fixed and variable with fuels covering electricity and gas, so a household can take light and gas from a single supplier on one account.
Cons
- Standing charge of €12 places Enel at 7 of 16, so a light user pays more of the bill through the fixed charge.
- Tariff types are limited to fixed and variable, so anyone after a dynamic or green option can compare Powerpeers, which lists dynamic, fixed and variable.
- Fuels cover electricity and gas and the fixed and variable pairing carries no prepayment or electric vehicle option, unlike Electricity Ratings at fixed, ev and time of use.
Who each suits
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.
Enel
Who it suits
- Italian households on IT who want light and gas from a single supplier
- Renters or movers who would rather leave a plan without an exit fee of €0
- Heavy users of electricity who gain more from a unit rate of €0.11 than from a low standing charge
Who should look elsewhere
- Households wanting a time-of-use or electric vehicle tariff, which Endesa offers through fixed, time of use and ev
- Buyers who want a dynamic or green option, which Powerpeers lists at dynamic, fixed and variable
- Anyone comparing only on tariff variety, since Electricity Ratings spans fixed, ev and time of use against the fixed and variable listed here

Questions about each
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.
Enel
What does Enel charge to leave an energy plan early?+
The exit fee on Enel's energy plans is €0, so leaving before a term ends costs nothing on the light and gas side. That is unusual among the suppliers compared here, and it matters most to renters and to anyone who expects to move during a term. Broadband from the same company runs under its own separate terms.
How do the unit rate and the standing charge work together?+
The unit rate is €0.11 and the standing charge is €12. The rate applies to each unit of energy consumed, while the standing charge is a fixed cost added whatever the usage. A household using a lot of energy gains more from a low rate, and a light user is more exposed to the standing charge, so both figures matter.
