When it comes to managing our energy bills, we all want to find ways to save a few bucks while doing our best for the environment. Let's talk about how you can pick the right energy contract based on your everyday habits.

The different type of energy contracts

‍

Fixed-rate contracts

‍Fixed-rate contracts offer stability and predictability by maintaining a constant price throughout the contract. This is great for those who prefer knowing their monthly energy costs. However, this security comes with a premium. Also it does not provide any incentive to steer to moment of lower tariffs. Unless you work with our partner energy supplier 😊

Peak/off-peak contracts

‍Peak/off-peak contracts encourage shifting energy usage to off-peak hours with lower rates. y. Ideal for individuals with flexible schedules prioritizing savings and sustainability. We now do see a trend that due to the massive production of solar energy, the middle of the day is the new off-peak price. Double-check your off-peak tariff while scheduling the Jedlix app.

Steering your car on these tariffs directly creates massive savings on your bill. It is good to keep in mind what the rest of your household, that you cannot steer easily, is doing when considering these tariffs. Read here all about dynamic rates.
