Outfox Energy offers fixed electricity-only tariffs for households that do not want the company to supply their gas. The current July 2026 tariff records include Fix'd Elec Jul26 12M, Fix'd ELEC July 2026 15M and Fix'd Elec Jul26 24M products. Different version numbers can be released during the same month, so customers must check the exact tariff name shown in their quotation. Current records show exit fees of ยฃ75 on the 12- and 15-month versions and ยฃ100 on the 24-month versions. These are fixed-price electricity tariffs. The electricity unit rate and daily standing charge remain fixed for the agreed contract period, but the customer's total bill can still change according to how much electricity the property uses. This guide was checked on 11 July 2026.
An electricity-only tariff allows Outfox Energy to supply the property's electricity without taking over its gas account. It can suit a household that: - Is comparing electricity separately because of an EV, heat pump or solar installation Outfox's fixed tariff terms specifically distinguish between its Fix'd dual-fuel products and its Fix'd Elec products for electricity-only customers. The electricity-only tariff does not provide any discount on gas. Where the property also has mains gas, the customer must arrange a separate gas contract and compare the combined cost of both suppliers.
Current July 2026 records list several electricity-only fixed products. The principal versions include: The 12-month versions currently have a ยฃ75 electricity exit fee. The 15-month version also carries a ยฃ75 fee, while the 24-month products carry a ยฃ100 electricity exit fee. Outfox's public website currently promotes a one-year fixed electricity tariff with a representative monthly figure of ยฃ66.13, described as approximately 9 per cent or ยฃ81 a year below the relevant price-cap comparison. That figure is based on typical consumption and should not be treated as a personal quotation.
The tariff has two principal charges. The unit rate is the price paid for every kilowatt hour of electricity imported from the grid. The standing charge is applied every day while Outfox supplies the electricity connection, including days when the property uses no electricity. For a single-rate customer, annual cost is calculated as:
Suppose a household uses 3,500 kWh annually, has a fixed unit rate of 23p per kWh and a standing charge of 55p a day. The usage cost would be: 3,500 ร ยฃ0.23 = ยฃ805 The standing-charge cost would be: 365 ร ยฃ0.55 = ยฃ200.75 The resulting annual electricity cost would be approximately ยฃ1,005.75. This example is illustrative. Outfox rates vary according to tariff version, meter configuration and electricity region.
The tariff fixes the unit rate and standing charge. It does not guarantee that the monthly Direct Debit or annual bill remains unchanged. A customer using more electricity will pay more. Consumption could rise after: Outfox can review the monthly Direct Debit when the account balance or expected annual consumption changes. A payment increase does not necessarily mean the fixed tariff rates have changed. The monthly payment is a contribution towards the predicted annual account cost, while the unit rate determines the underlying charge for the electricity actually consumed.
Electricity prices vary across Great Britain's distribution regions. A customer in northern Scotland can receive a different unit rate and standing charge from a household in London, Wales, Yorkshire or southern England. For the current Fix'd Elec Jul26 24M v1 single-rate tariff, published regional unit rates range from approximately 22.527p to 24.462p per kWh. Standing charges in the published records range from about 44.83p to more than 70p a day. For example, the published North Scotland record for that version shows a unit rate of approximately 23.622p per kWh and a standing charge of 57.57p a day. The South Scotland record shows approximately 23.075p per kWh with a standing charge of 64.20p a day. These examples demonstrate why the annual calculation must use the customer's postcode rather than a national headline rate. A lower unit rate does not necessarily produce the lowest bill where the standing charge is significantly higher. Low-use households are particularly sensitive to standing-charge differences.
The current electricity-only fixed range includes Economy 7 versions in addition to ordinary single-rate electricity. Economy 7 provides separate daytime and off-peak rates. The cheaper rate usually applies for approximately seven hours overnight, although the actual period depends on the meter, region and switching arrangement. For Fix'd Elec Jul26 24M v1, published Economy 7 daytime rates range from approximately 26.818p to 29.479p per kWh. The corresponding off-peak rates range from approximately 14.604p to 15.964p. Economy 7 can suit homes using: It is not automatically cheaper than the single-rate version. The daytime price is considerably higher, so the household must use enough electricity during the off-peak period to compensate.
Consider an illustrative regional tariff with: Ignoring small standing-charge differences, the break-even night-use percentage can be estimated as:
The daytime premium over the single rate is: 28.2p โ 23.5p = 4.7p The difference between daytime and night rates is: 28.2p โ 15.3p = 12.9p The approximate break-even night-use proportion is: 4.7 รท 12.9 = 36.4 per cent In this illustration, more than about 36 per cent of electricity would need to fall within the valid off-peak period before Economy 7 began to outperform the single-rate tariff. The actual break-even level must be calculated using the customer's regional quotation and standing charges.
The 12-month tariff provides one year of fixed electricity prices and carries a current ยฃ75 exit fee. The 24-month tariff fixes the unit rate and standing charge for two years and currently carries a ยฃ100 exit fee. The one-year product offers: The two-year product offers: The longer tariff should not automatically be chosen because it provides more certainty. The price difference between the one- and two-year quotations is crucial. A household paying a large premium for the second year could be better choosing the one-year version and reviewing the market later.
From 1 July to 30 September 2026, the average capped electricity rate for a standard variable customer paying by Direct Debit is 26.11p per kWh, with an average standing charge of 57.19p a day. These are averages across England, Scotland and Wales. Regional rates differ, and fixed tariffs are not directly governed by subsequent price-cap changes during their agreed term. A Fix'd Elec customer continues paying the contracted prices if the price cap rises. This can create a saving where the fixed rate is below future variable prices. The reverse is also possible. If the cap falls, the fixed tariff does not normally become cheaper. The customer must either remain on the agreed rate or leave and pay any applicable exit fee.
Exit fees reduce the benefit of switching to a cheaper tariff during the fixed term. Suppose a customer on the 12-month version finds another tariff expected to save ยฃ110 over the remaining contract period. After deducting the ยฃ75 Outfox exit fee, the net saving is only ยฃ35. If the expected saving were ยฃ60, leaving early would make the customer ยฃ15 worse off. For the 24-month product, the replacement tariff must save more than ยฃ100 during the remaining period before an early switch creates any financial benefit. The comparison must use the remaining contract period rather than the new tariff's complete advertised annual saving.
The live Fix'd Elec records are associated with monthly Direct Debit. Current tariff databases list the electricity-only options as monthly Direct Debit products, including both single-rate and Economy 7 versions. Outfox operates as a predominantly digital supplier. Customers normally receive statements electronically and manage meter readings, payments and tariff information through the online account. A customer requiring paper correspondence or another accessibility adjustment should confirm that Outfox can provide the necessary support before completing the switch.
A smart meter is useful but an ordinary Fix'd Elec tariff is not necessarily a smart time-of-use product. A functioning smart meter can send readings automatically, reducing estimated bills. If the meter loses communication, it normally continues measuring electricity, but the customer may need to submit readings manually. The tariff does not provide a special EV charging price unless it is specifically an EV product. A customer should not assume that having a smart meter creates a cheap overnight charging period on a standard single-rate fix.
A household with mains gas should compare the full annual cost of both arrangements. For electricity-only:
For dual fuel:
The electricity-only tariff could be stronger where another supplier offers cheaper gas or where the customer wants to retain an existing gas contract. The dual-fuel product may be easier to manage, but convenience does not guarantee a lower total cost. Exit fees from the existing gas tariff must also be included before changing either arrangement.
A fixed electricity-only tariff may be attractive to an EV or heat-pump household because these properties often use substantially more electricity than the national average. However, high consumption makes the unit rate especially important. A household using 8,000 kWh a year saves ยฃ80 for every 1p reduction in the electricity unit rate. The same household would save only ยฃ30 from that 1p difference if it used 3,000 kWh. EV owners should compare Fix'd Elec with Outfox My EV before committing. A specialist overnight tariff may be cheaper where a large proportion of charging can be shifted into its off-peak window. Heat-pump owners should compare the complete daily consumption profile rather than assuming Economy 7 is suitable. A heat pump can run throughout the day and winter evening, when Economy 7 electricity is charged at the higher rate.
Outfox Fix'd Electricity-Only may suit a household that: The Economy 7 version may suit customers able to place a substantial proportion of electricity use into the valid overnight period. The tariff may be less suitable for someone expecting to move, planning major changes to electricity consumption or wanting complete switching flexibility. An EV owner with predictable overnight charging should compare My EV. A customer expecting electricity prices to fall may prefer a shorter fix or variable tariff. Someone likely to remain for two years and concerned about future price increases may find the 24-month version more suitable. Outfox Energy's electricity-only fixed range provides several contract-length choices without requiring the customer to move their gas supply. Its value depends on the exact tariff version, regional unit rate, standing charge, meter type, annual consumption and willingness to accept the exit fee.
