Pros and cons
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.
Stadtwerke Münster
Pros
- The green tariff is 100% renewable, backed by certificates.
- Tariff choice is broader than Endesa, whose list runs fixed, time of use and ev, with dynamic and variable options added here.
- Full fibre broadband to 1,000 Mbps download and 75 to 300 Mbps upload, with the entry plan priced from €37.99 a month.
Cons
- Support runs on help centre only, with no phone line or live chat listed.
- Unit rate ranks 16 of 23 on the comparison page, so unit price is the weaker part of the offer.
- A smart meter is required, which rules out households needing one installed before they can move.

Questions about each
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.
Stadtwerke Münster
What does electricity cost on the green tariff?+
Unit rates run €0.30 to €0.31 on the green tariff, with a standing charge of €14.97 on top. The unit rate ranks 16 of 23 on the comparison page, so the cost of the energy itself, rather than the standing charge, is where this supplier sits higher.
Does the price change when the contract renews?+
The same price holds from the opening month to the last under Same price from first to last contract month, so there is no introductory rate that later disappears. Fixed terms run 12 and 24, which is how long that price is locked for before the next decision point.
