Pros and cons
Pros
- Green electricity is 100% renewable, and green is listed among the variable, fixed and green tariffs.
- Electricity and gas are both supplied, electricity and gas, so a household on both fuels keeps a single supplier.
- Fixed terms run 12 and 24, so a shorter lock-in sits beside a longer commitment.
- Support runs on email, chat and phone, so a tariff question and a billing question reach the same team.
- The company is a named legal entity, sparstrom Energievertriebs GmbH, founded in 2016.
Cons
- Choosing a fixed term of 12 and 24 means a renewal decision later, and prices after a contract run at a median of €43 across the suppliers listed.
- The range stops at variable, fixed and green, variable, fixed and green, while Powerpeers also lists a dynamic tariff, dynamic, fixed and variable.
- Electricity Ratings covers electric vehicle and time of use plans, fixed, ev and time of use, which sparstrom's variable, fixed and green does not include.
- sparstrom trades as sparstrom Energievertriebs GmbH and is based in Germany, so shoppers in another market are better served by a brand built there, such as Endesa with fixed, time of use and ev.
Who it suits
- Households that want renewable electricity, since the green tariff runs at 100% renewable.
- People on both fuels, since electricity and gas are covered by the same supplier.

Who should look elsewhere

Frequently asked questions
What tariffs does sparstrom offer?+
The range covers variable, fixed and green tariffs, variable, fixed and green. Fixed terms run 12 and 24, so you can take a shorter or a longer lock-in, and the green option is the plan aimed at households that want renewable power across the whole supply rather than part of it.
How long are sparstrom's fixed terms?+
Fixed terms run 12 and 24, which gives you a choice of a shorter or a longer commitment rather than a single set length. A variable tariff is also listed in variable, fixed and green, so staying outside a fixed term stays possible if your usage or your budget changes.
How green is the electricity?+
The green electricity is 100% renewable, and green sits in the variable, fixed and green range beside fixed and variable pricing. A household can therefore make renewable power its main plan rather than a limited green add-on, and the supplier covers electricity and gas together, electricity and gas.
Do you supply gas as well as electricity?+
Yes. The range covers electricity and gas, so a household using both fuels can work with a single supplier for the lot, from the same contact details. Tariffs on offer are listed as variable, fixed and green, and support on email, chat and phone applies to questions on either meter.
How do I contact sparstrom?+
Support runs on email, chat and phone, which covers email, live chat, phone and a help centre, so several routes stay open. The company behind the brand is sparstrom Energievertriebs GmbH, based in Germany, and the same channels cover questions before and after you sign.
Where does sparstrom operate?+
The operator is based in Germany and trades as sparstrom Energievertriebs GmbH, having been founded in 2016. Both electricity and gas are supplied, electricity and gas, and the range is aimed at that home market rather than several countries at once, so an address outside it changes the answer.
Are entry prices and renewal prices the same?+
They are separate figures. Entry prices across the suppliers listed run at a median of €9.30, while prices after a fixed term of 12 and 24 sit at a median of €43. Sparstrom's variable tariff, listed in variable, fixed and green, is the route out of a fixed term.
What happens when a fixed term ends?+
A fixed term of 12 and 24 ends on a known date, and you choose again at that point, either on another fixed tariff or on the variable option listed in variable, fixed and green. Renewal rates are worth asking for before you sign, since prices after a contract run at a median of €43 across the suppliers listed.
Is there an exit fee if I leave early?+
Exit fees vary by supplier and tariff, and across the ones listed here they run from €0 to €131.54. Sparstrom's fixed terms of 12 and 24 are the window in which any early exit charge would apply, so the terms for your chosen tariff are worth reading before you commit.
