Pros and cons

Pros

  • Renewable power runs at 100%, with the green claim settled through certificates, so the environmental claim has a named mechanism behind it.
  • Fuels covered are electricity and gas, so electricity and gas can sit on one account with one bill to track rather than two suppliers to chase.
  • The range dynamic, fixed and variable is wider than Endesa's fixed, time of use and ev, which covers fixed, time-of-use and electric-vehicle plans.
  • On the fixed plan, export is paid at €0.10 per unit sent back, which offsets part of what a household with panels pays to import.
  • The home charger runs €644 to €1,028 at 11 to 22 kW with a warranty of 2 to 5 years, and a mobile app handles the account day to day.

Cons

  • The unit rate of €0.33 ranks 17 of 23, so you pay more than most rivals on the headline price.
  • Support runs on help centre alone, so a phone line or a live chat is not part of the service.
  • Fixed terms run 12 months, so a longer lock-in is not on the menu for anyone planning a move.
  • The standing charge of €30 sits at 12 of 16, and it counts every month whether you use much or little.

Who it suits

  • Households with rooftop solar that want renewable power and a meaningful export rate
  • Anyone who wants electricity and gas on one account, managed from a mobile app
  • EV households weighing a charger against the tariff, with power of 11 to 22 kW and a warranty of 2 to 5 years

Who should look elsewhere

  • Anyone who needs a prepaid or electric-vehicle tariff: Frank Energie lists dynamic, fixed and variable, while Electricity Ratings lists fixed, ev and time of use.
  • Spanish households after a time-of-use plan: Endesa lists fixed, time of use and ev, which reaches plans Frank Energie's dynamic, fixed and variable does not.
  • Shoppers buying purely on the unit rate, who should start with Powerpeers' dynamic, fixed and variable range instead, since Frank Energie ranks 17 of 23 on that measure.

What it does well

Renewable power runs at 100%, with the green claim settled through certificates. For a household with rooftop panels, the export rate of €0.10 matters as much as the import price, because every unit sent back earns money instead of costing you. Neither number helps much on a roof with no panels, so read both against your own setup before you switch. The renewable share tells you what you are buying, and the export rate tells you what your surplus is worth.

Pricing

Two figures drive the bill on the fixed plan: a unit rate of €0.33 and a standing charge of €30. The unit rate moves with what you consume, while the standing charge lands whatever the month looks like, so it weighs more heavily on a low-use household. Price the fixed plan across its full 12 month term rather than week by week. No introductory discount sits on top of these numbers, and renewal is a separate decision once the term ends, so check the rate again at that point rather than assuming it carries over.

Where it sits among rivals

Frank Energie is not at the front of the price tables. On standing charge it ranks 12 of 16, and on unit rate 17 of 23. Those rankings cover 16 brands and 23 brands respectively, so a place in the middle means paying more than most of them on that measure. The case for this brand therefore rests on what the contract includes rather than on the smallest number you will see.

Who runs it

The contract is with Frank Energie B.V., a company based in the Netherlands, so Dutch customers are dealing with a Dutch entity. Support runs through help centre alone, alongside a mobile app for account management, which suits a household comfortable reading a model contract and handling its own meter data. If you would rather raise a question with a person on a phone call, that is the part of the package to weigh first.

Frequently asked questions

What does Frank Energie cost?+

The published figures are a unit rate of €0.33 and a standing charge of €30 on the fixed plan, covering electricity and gas. The standing charge sits on the bill whatever you use, and the unit rate is the part that moves with consumption, so a high-use household feels the rate more than the charge.

Is the electricity renewable?+

Frank Energie offers 100% renewable power, and the listed basis is certificates. That is the mechanism behind the green tariff, and it is the detail worth checking if where the supply comes from matters to you. A certificate basis is a different claim from owning generation, and the two are easy to confuse on a tariff page.

How much is exported solar worth?+

Export is paid at €0.10 per unit sent back to the grid. Households with panels should weigh that against the €0.33 unit rate they pay to import, since a generous export rate and a cheap import rate do not always come from the same supplier. If your panels rarely produce a surplus, the export rate matters less to you.

How long is the contract?+

Fixed terms run 12 months. Frank Energie also offers dynamic, fixed and variable contracts, so a rate that follows the market is there if a set term does not suit your plans. Anyone expecting to move home should read the term length first, since a mid-term move is the awkward part of any fixed contract.

Where does Frank Energie operate?+

The company is based in the Netherlands and lists NL, BE and ES as its markets. The Dutch contract is with Frank Energie B.V., so check that the offer reaches your address before you sign up, particularly outside the Netherlands where the terms you have read may not be the terms you are offered.

Can I buy a charger with the contract?+

Chargers are priced at €644 to €1,028 and come with power of 11 to 22 kW and a warranty of 2 to 5 years. The hardware sits alongside the tariff rather than inside it, so the electricity rate and the charger cost are separate lines on the budget, and a home charger decision should be made on power and warranty as much as on price.

How do I get help?+

Support runs through help centre, with a mobile app for managing the account and reading your meter. If you would rather speak to someone by phone or hold a live chat, that is a thin channel set, and it is worth weighing against what your current supplier offers before you move across.

Does Frank Energie sell electric-vehicle or prepay tariffs?+

Its listed range is dynamic, fixed and variable. Readers who want an electric-vehicle, time-of-use or prepaid plan will not find those types here, and should look at Endesa's fixed, time of use and ev or Electricity Ratings' fixed, ev and time of use to see how a supplier that does offer them is priced.

How does Frank Energie score on price and offer?+

The overall score is 8.6, split into a cost part of 8.5 and an offer part of 8.7. The offer side comes out ahead of the cost side, which fits a brand that leads on what it includes, the export rate and the charger, rather than on the unit rate you pay per unit.
