  • 1. What types of energy tariffs does Engie offer?

    Engie offers a variety of energy tariffs tailored to business needs, including fixed-rate, flexible, and renewable energy plans. Their tariffs often include green energy options, enabling businesses to reduce their carbon footprint while maintaining cost efficiency. For the most up-to-date information, we recommend contacting The Smart Energy Company or Engie directly.

  • 2. Does Engie provide 100% renewable energy?

    Engie offers green energy tariffs that include a significant proportion of renewable energy. However, not all tariffs are fully renewable, so it’s essential to confirm the specifics of the tariff you choose. The Smart Energy Company can help you compare options to ensure you align with your sustainability goals.

  • 3. How long does it take to switch to Engie?

    Switching to Engie typically takes 2 to 5 working days, provided you are out of contract with your current supplier. If you’re still within a contract or owe money to your existing supplier, the process may be delayed due to objections. The Smart Energy Company will assist in managing the transition smoothly.

  • 5. Can I switch to Engie mid-contract?

    You can register your interest to switch to Engie mid-contract, but the actual transfer will occur once your current contract expires. Ending your current contract early may result in termination fees. The Smart Energy Company can help you plan your switch to avoid unnecessary costs.

  • 7. Are Engie’s tariffs competitive compared to other suppliers?

    Yes, Engie’s tariffs are competitive, especially for businesses seeking renewable energy solutions. However, market volatility, your meter type, and your location in the UK are key factors that determine the final unit rate suppliers provide. For this reason, we cannot guarantee their pricing until we provide a tailored quote. The Smart Energy Company can assist in comparing Engie’s rates to other suppliers to ensure you get the best deal.

  • 8. Does Engie charge standing fees on their contracts?

    Yes, like most suppliers, Engie applies standing charges to their contracts. These fees cover fixed costs such as maintaining the energy network and ensuring supply. The exact charges vary by tariff, and we can help you understand these costs before switching.

  • 9. Can Engie provide renewable energy certificates (RECs) for businesses?

    Yes, Engie offers renewable energy certificates for businesses purchasing green energy tariffs. These certificates confirm the renewable origin of the electricity supplied to your business.

  • 10. How can The Smart Energy Company help me switch to Engie?
