Our verdict on each
Enel
Enel suits Italian households that want a no-strings electricity plan and a single bill covering gas as well, and its €0 exit fee ranks at 1 of 29. The weaker measure is the standing charge, which places 7 of 16.
hollandsnieuwe
Hollandsnieuwe is a Netherlands-only virtual operator on the Vodafone host network, built for callers who want a sim only line and a choice of contract length. Entry pricing starts at €4.50 a month, which is the draw, while the jump to a higher renewal price is the catch.

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.
hollandsnieuwe
Pros
- The cheapest overall plan opens at €4.50 a month, and the cheapest large-data plan opens at the same entry figure, so more data does not cost extra at the start.
- Billing runs contract, rolling and prepaid, so a line can be taken as a contract, on a rolling basis or as prepaid without moving to another seller.
- eSIM and wifi calling are both offered on the sim only range, and EU roaming is fair use rather than a pay-per-use extra.
Cons
- The listed plan prices treat €4.50 as the opening figure only, and the cheapest overall plan moves to a higher monthly price after the opening term.
- The largest listed plan caps data and sells unlimited calls as a paid add-on, so heavy callers pay separately for calls on top of the bundle.
- The range is sold in NL on the Vodafone host network, which keeps the line focused on the Dutch market rather than a multi-country footprint.
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
hollandsnieuwe
Who it suits
- Callers in the Netherlands who want a sim only line and would rather pick a short term than commit for a longer one.
- Anyone who wants contract, rolling and prepaid billing under the same seller instead of moving between companies.
- Households happy to start at a low figure and absorb the step up afterwards, since the entry rate is introductory only.
Who should look elsewhere
- Buyers who want to buy from the network itself, since GETESA, Lonestar Cell MTN and yesss! each sell as network, network and network operators.
- Callers who need unlimited data in a single plan, because the listed plan prices cap data and offer unlimited calls as a paid add-on.
- Travellers who expect roaming included without limits, because EU roaming runs under fair use rather than as a full allowance.

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.
hollandsnieuwe
What does a Hollandsnieuwe line cost to begin with?+
A sim only line starts at €4.50 a month. Two bundles share that entry figure: the cheapest overall plan with a small data allowance, and the cheapest large-data plan with more data on the same starting price. The larger bundle costs more after the opening period ends.
Is the starting price also the renewal price?+
It is not. The listed plan prices present €4.50 as the opening figure, and the cheapest overall plan moves to a higher monthly price after the opening term ends. The same step applies to the larger bundle, so anyone comparing monthly outgoings over a year should budget with the renewal figure.
