Tibber strengths
- 10% service fee instead of 20%
- Quarterly payout via Joulo
- Registration continues if you leave Tibber
Watch-outs
- Only for customers with a Tibber energy contract
- After leaving Tibber, Joulo’s standard rate applies
- Switching to another provider is only possible from 1 January; after an immediate termination nobody can book the rest of that year's kWh for that EAN
Zonneplan strengths
- 80% of ERE proceeds paid to you
- Automatically credited on your energy bill
- Authorisation does not renew tacitly
Watch-outs
- Requires a Zonneplan energy contract
- Paid as a bill credit, not to your bank account
- Terms say yearly payout; the site also offers quarterly
