Sainsbury’s Energy Prices for Electricity and Gas Review
Sainsbury’s Energy offers a full range of energy products, including electricity and gas, and both as a dual fuel tariff for homeowners.
The product offerings from Sainsbury’s now utilise the E.ON Next renewable energy network.
Summary of Sainsbury’s Energy Offers
At Sainsbury’s Energy, you get the same choice of products at the same price as if you went directly to the E.ON Next website. The Sainsbury’s website for electricity and gas is just an affiliate branded site in any case. The energy supplied used to come from EDF and then British Gas with Nectar Points, but now they use E.ON for their energy relationship.
The main benefit of using Sainsbury’s rather than E.ON is the Nectar point bonuses you receive. There are three main tariffs on offer: a variable rate, a 12-month fixed priced tariff and a 24-month fixed priced tariff.
The Sainsbury’s Energy Products
You get to choose from the same E.ON Next product list which is as follows:
- Sainsbury’s Fix and Reward Fixed 12m v13 allows you to fix your electricity and gas bills for around 12 months. The prices are lower than the current energy price cap, and there are exit fees of £50 per fuel. You receive 2,000 Nectar points on switching and then a bonus double points spent in Sainsbury’s stores. Typical prices of 62.73p per day and 23.4675p per kWh.
- Standard tariff – always the most expensive but you don’t need to pay by monthly direct debit and there are no exit fees. Typical prices of 62.73p per day and 23.83815p per kWh.
- Sainsbury’s Fix and Reward Fixed 24m v11 allows you to fix your electricity and gas bills for around 24 months. The prices are higher than the current energy price cap, and there are exit fees of £100 per fuel. You receive 4,000 Nectar points on switching and then a bonus triple points spent in Sainsbury’s stores. Typical prices of 62.73p per day and 24.3936p per kWh.
The typical rates shown are from an online quote performed for a high-energy user during April 2024 based in the Midlands. Your prices may vary.
If you’re a low-energy user and spend a lot at Sainsbury’s, the 24-month product might be worth considering.
All tariffs used 100% renewable energy for the electricity tariff. You can manage your account online or through the mobile phone app.
