E.ON Next launches the UK’s first hybrid tariff giving households more certainty and peace of mind as energy prices continue to fluctuate

E.ON Next is launching Next Steady to offer customers increased certainty and peace of mind at a time when global events continue to cause volatility in energy markets.

With the energy price cap forecast to increase by almost £300 from July, the UK-first tariff aims to support customers as they plan for the months ahead.

Next Steady is a 15-month tariff which enables customers to immediately benefit from prices lower than the new April-June price cap - which is set at £1,641 for a typical household. Next Steady also aims to provide longer-term stability for customers by securing a fixed rate today from July 2026 to avoid a potentially greater price rise in the summer.

And with no internal exit fees, customers retain the flexibility to switch to another E.ON Next tariff at any point if energy prices drop or if it feels like the right choice for them.

Next Steady Fixed 15m v1 is priced at £1,779 annually for a typical household, with a £50 per fuel external exit fee.

• This average annual price does not reflect the lower amount customers will pay between April – June, which customers will receive as a discount on their gas unit rates*.
• Next Steady offers electricity rates fixed £50 below the April – June price cap based on average annual consumption .
• Customers’ electricity prices will remain the same for the length of the contract, but their gas unit prices will go up from 1 July*.
• Based on E.ON Next’s current predictions, Next Steady could offer savings against the July – Sept 2026 price cap, though forecasts remain subject to change as market conditions evolve.

Next Steady is the only tariff offering both an immediate discount against the price cap at a time of high price volatility as well as the stability of a longer-term fixed deal. 

Julian Lennertz, Chief Commercial Officer at E.ON Next, said: “Energy markets remain unpredictable, and we know many households want more control over their energy bills. Our priority is to help households make informed choices and stay steady during this volatile period. We’re proud to continue as playmakers in the energy sector by launching the UK’s first hybrid tariff. 

“Our new Next Steady tariff has been designed to offer balance – giving customers immediate below-cap pricing as well as fixed prices from July. While no internal exit fees mean customers keep the flexibility to move to another E.ON Next tariff later if the market shifts or a different deal becomes more suitable for them.”

The April–June discount on Next Steady applies automatically and is based on a temporary reduction to gas unit rates which will be 27%-29% depending on region as well as electricity rates fixed below the current price cap.
