Good news for your home — and no admin for you. ⚡
From 1 October 2026, VAT on domestic electricity will drop from 5% to 0%.
We’ll apply the new rate automatically for eligible Home Energy household electricity customers. You don’t need to contact us, complete any forms, switch tariff or change anything on your account.
The government estimates an annualised saving of around £45 for a typical household on the Ofgem price cap. This is a guide rather than a guarantee; actual savings will depend on your electricity use, tariff and how long the reduction applies.
Please note: the VAT cut applies to electricity only, not gas.
