Pros and cons

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.
  • A smart meter is not required, so the tariff does not wait on a meter upgrade.
  • Powerpeers lists dynamic, fixed and variable, a spread matching variable, fixed and dynamic, so the choice is about price rather than structure.

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.
  • Energie sells into a single market, BE, so a household just over the border is not covered.

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.

Core features

Every tariff here is built on 100% renewable electricity, so the whole supply is renewable rather than part of it. A smart meter is not required, which keeps the range open to homes that have not installed one. That pairing suits households that want to go green first and think about a meter later, if at all. The renewable share is the headline feature; the meter rule is the practical one.

Plans and prices

Energie prices its electricity at a unit rate of €0.17 and adds a standing charge of €35 on top. Those figures push in different directions: the unit rate is the competitive part, while the standing charge is what adds most to a yearly bill. The exit fee is €0, so leaving costs nothing at any point. A household with steady, predictable use will feel that standing charge more than one that shifts consumption around.

How it compares on our data

Ranking is where the trade-off shows. On exit fee, Energie sits at 1 of 29 brands ranked, the strongest of those positions. Unit rate places it at 10 of 23, toward the better end of those compared. Standing charge lands at 13 of 16, the weaker of the three measures.

The company behind it

The supplier behind the plans is Energie.be NV, a company headquartered in Belgium. It sells into a single market, BE, so the tariffs and the service are shaped for its home country rather than a wider region. Support runs on email and help centre, meaning a help centre and email are the routes in, and questions are answered in writing.

Frequently asked questions

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.

Is the electricity genuinely renewable?+

The renewable share is 100%, and the basis is own generation rather than certificates. The green claim rests on generation the supplier produces itself, not on a certificate attached to grid power afterwards. For a household that wants to know where the electricity comes from, that is the detail to weigh.

Do I need a smart meter to join Energie?+

A smart meter is not required. That sits apart from many dynamic tariffs in this category, where a meter upgrade is a condition of entry. If your home already has one you can ignore this; if you were putting it off, that decision no longer stands between you and the tariff.

How do I reach Energie support?+

Support runs on email and help centre. That means a help centre for self-service questions and email for anything needing a written reply, and no phone or chat line is listed. A household used to talking a billing query through by voice will not find that route here.

Where can I sign up with Energie?+

Energie sells in a single market, BE, and the company sits in Belgium. It covers electricity and gas, so a household running both fuels can deal with a single supplier. A household outside that market has no option here, since the footprint does not extend beyond it.

Which tariffs can I choose from?+

The list is variable, fixed and dynamic, covering a variable rate, a fixed term, dynamic pricing and a green option. Powerpeers lists dynamic, fixed and variable, a similar spread, so between those two the decision comes down to rate, standing charge and term length rather than choice of structure.

How does it rank on price?+

On unit rate, Energie sits at 10 of 23 brands ranked. The standing charge is the softer side, at 13 of 16. The overall picture is a strong rate paired with a higher fixed cost, which suits heavier users more than lighter ones.
