EDF price changes in 2025
Have EDF energy prices risen in 2025?
EDF energy prices on standard variable tariffs have risen twice and gone down once in 2025 in line with the energy price cap. They are set to rise when the price cap changes for the final time this year in October.
EDF standard variable energy tariffs are subject to Ofgem's energy price cap, just like the majority of energy suppliers operating in the UK. The price cap sets the maximum rate suppliers can charge for average use on standard variable tariffs, which are typically the most expensive type of energy plan. When the price cap goes up, suppliers usually raise their prices to match it.
The price cap is revised four times a year. It's currently set at £1,720 but will rise to £1,755 for the period from 1 October to 31 December, so it's likely EDF's standard variable tariff price will rise to around that level as well.
We can see how EDF's prices have followed the price cap in the table below.
| Time period | Price cap level | EDF Energy standard variable price |
|---|---|---|
| October 2023 - January 2024 | £1,834 | £1,834 |
| January 2024 - April 2024 | £1,928 | £1,928 |
| April 2024 - July 2024 | £1,690 | £1,690 |
| July 2024 - October 2024 | £1,568 | £1,568 |
| October 2024 - January 2025 | £1,717 | £1,717 |
| January 2025 - April 2025 | £1,738 | £1,738 |
| April 2025 - July 2025 | £1,849 | £1,849 |
| July 2025 - October 2025 | £1,720 | £1,719 |
| October 2025 - January 2026 | £1,755 | TBC |
Can I do anything about EDF price rises?
All customers with a standard variable tariff plan from EDF will be impacted by price rises. If you're on a fixed plan from EDF, your rates will stay the same for the remainder of the contract. But remember that you'll automatically be rolled onto a standard variable tariff when your fixed deal ends.
If you're not on a fixed deal, it's very likely you can save by switching to one. You can see the fixed deals that are available by running an energy comparison below.
