Pros and cons
Rabot Energy
Pros
- An exit fee of €0 places Rabot Energy at 1 of 29 brands ranked on that measure, the strongest of its three placements.
- Green supply of 100% on a certificates basis, and a smart meter is not required, so the green option needs no new meter.
- Tariff types run dynamic, fixed and ev, putting fixed, dynamic, EV and green with a single supplier.
Cons
- A unit rate of €0.27 ranks 14 of 23 brands on that measure, so Rabot Energy is not the cheapest per unit here.
- The standing charge of €15 ranks 9 of 16, and it lands on the bill whatever you consume.
- Supply is electricity only, electricity, so a household that also holds a gas contract needs a second supplier.
Vattenfall
Pros
- The reference annual cost of €953.30 puts Vattenfall 2 of 4 on the main cost measure in this comparison.
- A renewable share of 100% on the green tariff, for shoppers who want clean power as the default rather than an add-on.
- Tariff types of fixed, green and variable include a green option that Endesa's fixed, time of use and ev does not.
Cons
- The unit rate of €0.33 ranks 18 of 23, so heavy users gain less than the annual cost suggests.
- The standing charge of €10.90 ranks 6 of 16, so light users should not expect the whole bill to fall.
- Support runs on phone only, with no listed email or chat route for questions.
Who each suits
Rabot Energy
Who it suits
- Households in DE that want a green electricity tariff with a full year of fixed pricing and no exit fee.
- Drivers and EV owners, since dynamic, fixed and ev includes an EV tariff alongside fixed and dynamic.
- People who would rather not arrange new metering: a smart meter is not required.
Who should look elsewhere
- Anyone set on a variable tariff: Powerpeers lists dynamic, fixed and variable, and variable pricing is not in Rabot Energy's dynamic, fixed and ev.
- Households that want prepay or time-of-use pricing, both of which appear in fixed, ev and time of use.
- Buyers shopping mainly on the price per unit, given the mid-table position at 14 of 23.
Vattenfall
Who it suits
- Households that want renewable power as the standard option, given a renewable share of 100%.
- People who want electricity and gas from one supplier, since Vattenfall covers electricity and gas.
- Shoppers who put provider stability first, given that Vattenfall AB was founded in 1909 and serves 12,000,000 customers.
Who should look elsewhere
- Heavy users shopping purely on unit rate, since Vattenfall places 18 of 23 on that measure.
- Shoppers who want dynamic or hourly pricing, which Powerpeers lists in dynamic, fixed and variable and Vattenfall does not.
- Anyone after an electric vehicle tariff or a prepay meter, since those sit with Endesa at fixed, time of use and ev and ELECTRICITY RATINGS at fixed, ev and time of use.

Questions about each
Rabot Energy
What does Rabot Energy charge for electricity?+
Rabot Energy's published figures are a unit rate of €0.27 and a standing charge of €15, with an exit fee of €0. The unit rate covers the power you actually consume, while the standing charge is a fixed cost for holding a connection at all. Budget with both figures side by side.
Is there an exit fee if I switch away from Rabot Energy?+
The exit fee is €0, so there is nothing to pay for ending the contract early, and that is the measure on which Rabot Energy sits at 1 of 29 brands. A free exit also suits renters and anyone who expects to move house during the term.
Vattenfall
What does Vattenfall cost over a typical year?+
The reference annual cost is €953.30, which bundles usage and the standing charge into one figure. That helps for a quick comparison, but the bill is really a unit rate of €0.33 per unit of energy on top of a standing charge of €10.90. Read both before you switch.
Is the unit rate or the standing charge the bigger deal?+
For most households the unit rate decides the bill, and Vattenfall sits at 18 of 23 on that measure. The standing charge ranks 6 of 16, so the fixed part of the bill is stronger than the usage part. Light users will feel that gap less than heavy users.
