Pros and cons
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.
Energie
Pros
- The exit fee is €0, which ranks 1 of 29 brands ranked, the strongest of the rankings here.
- A unit rate of €0.17 places Energie at 10 of 23 brands ranked.
- Renewable electricity at 100% across the range, not on a single green add-on.
Cons
- The standing charge of €35 sits above the €14.98 median across the suppliers compared, and ranks 13 of 16 brands ranked.
- Support runs on email and help centre only, so a billing query goes in writing rather than down a phone line.
- Electric vehicle and time-of-use tariffs are not among its variable, fixed and dynamic, while Enddesa lists fixed, time of use and ev.
Who each suits
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
Energie
Who it suits
- Households in BE that want renewable electricity at 100% and would rather not install a smart meter.
- Anyone who expects to move or change supplier mid-term, since the exit fee is €0.
- Households weighing a fixed rate against dynamic pricing, since the range covers variable, fixed and dynamic.
Who should look elsewhere
- Buyers after prepay or electric vehicle tariffs, since Enddesa lists fixed, time of use and ev and Energie lists variable, fixed and dynamic.
- Households who want a wider set of structures to compare, since Electricity Ratings lists fixed, ev and time of use.

Questions about each
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.
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.
