Is Now a Smart Time to Install Battery Storage?

If you’ve been on the fence about battery storage, it’s time to take another look—because right now, the numbers stack up better than ever.

⚡ E.ON Next Slashes Night Tariff to Just 6.7p/kWh

E.ON Next is now offering one of the UK’s most competitive flexible electricity tariffs: just 6.7p/kWh overnight—compared to 27.58p/kWh during the day. That’s a huge difference, and it creates a powerful opportunity for homeowners and businesses with battery storage systems.

To put it simply: you can charge your battery overnight at 6.7p and use that stored energy during the day, avoiding peak rates and slashing your electricity bills.

💰 Better Than Octopus

Even compared to popular flexible tariffs like Octopus Go (currently offering 8.5p/kWh overnight), E.ON Next’s night rate is significantly cheaper—giving you the best return on battery storage to date.

⚠️ Note: Tariff rates vary slightly by region and are subject to change, so it’s always worth checking the exact rate for your postcode.

🌞 Generous Solar Export Tariff Too

Got solar panels or thinking of installing them? E.ON Next also offers a market-leading solar export rate of 16.5p/kWh, which is notably higher than Octopus’s 15p/kWh under their SEG (Smart Export Guarantee) plan.

That means you can store cheap energy, use it when it costs more, and sell back excess solar for a strong return—all while reducing your reliance on the grid.

🔋 Why Battery Storage Makes Sense Now More Than Ever

• Charge low, use high – Store energy at 6.7p/kWh, avoid using it at 27.58p

• Boost your solar ROI – Store daytime energy and use it overnight

• Protect against rising prices – Gain more control over your electricity costs

• Maximise flexible tariffs – Perfect for homes with EVs or high usage

🎯 Final Word: Don’t Wait for Prices to Rise

Battery storage isn’t just smart—it’s strategic. With energy tariffs shifting and the best deals going to those who can store and manage power intelligently, now is the ideal moment to take control.
