Should I choose a variable or a dynamic tariff?

At Ecofix Gas & Power, we believe smart energy starts with smart choices. That’s why we only offer variable and dynamic tariffs — no fixed prices, no fake certainty. But what’s the real difference between the two? And why do we believe fixed tariffs don’t have a future?

🔄 What is a variable tariff?

A variable tariff moves with the market. Your energy cost is based on a monthly (sometimes quarterly) price, which fluctuates depending on wholesale market prices.

Benefits:
✔️ You benefit when prices go down
✔️ More market-aligned than fixed tariffs
✔️ More transparent than ever thanks to digital meters

Who is it for?
👉 For people who want a balance between certainty and market-based pricing
👉 For households who want insight into their usage, without checking an app every day

⚡ What is a dynamic tariff?

With a dynamic tariff, the price changes hour by hour. You pay exactly what electricity costs on the market at that moment (the spot price). With smart control (soon possible via Ecofix Digi), your devices can automatically run at the cheapest moments of the day.

Benefits:
✔️ Hour-by-hour control and savings
✔️ Ideal if you have a home battery, EV charger, or other smart devices
✔️ Maximum savings for active users

Who is it for?
👉 Energy-aware users who can shift their consumption
👉 People with solar panels, EV chargers and other smart devices
👉 Anyone who truly wants to take control of their energy costs

🛑 Why we no longer offer fixed tariffs

Very simply: today, a fixed tariff doesn’t offer real certainty anymore.

Here’s why:

• Energy prices are unpredictable. Suppliers build a hefty risk margin into fixed contracts to protect themselves.

• That means you often pay more than necessary, even when market prices drop.

• When prices fall, you can get stuck paying too much for months or years.

• In crisis situations, suppliers may still adjust conditions or even withdraw fixed contracts.

At Ecofix Gas & Power, we don’t do fake certainty. We believe in transparency, flexibility and smart choices.

🤔 So what’s the best choice for you?

Situation → Best choice → Why

• You want peace of mind + transparency → Variable tariff → Less tracking, still market-based

• You want to actively steer & save → Dynamic tariff → Maximum savings by shifting usage and smart control
