Next Flex is a standard tariff from Eon Next. Co-op 12M Fixed November 2026 v1 is a standard tariff from Octopus. They differ in how the unit rate is structured across the day, which is what drives the cost difference for households with shiftable load.

We take a real UK home's half-hourly smart meter data over the previous 90 days and model the bill on each tariff using the supplier's current published rates and standing charges. Standing charges scale with the modelled period; unit rates apply per half-hour using each tariff's rate structure (standard, Economy 7, time-of-use bands, or wholesale-tracking). Full methodology and data sources are linked below.

Both Eon Next and Octopus publish per-region rates across the 14 UK DNO areas. Go to either tariff page below to see the rates and standing charge specific to your DNO. Some tariffs require a smart meter or have other eligibility criteria set by the supplier.
