Contracts
fixed, variable, dynamic

Good to know: Frank focuses on dynamic. A 1-year fixed contract (also as fixed gas with dynamic electricity) appears in the terms and in the September 2026 reference tariffs; per its own site Frank offers a variable contract only via a few price comparison sites (fixed charge for electricity €7 per month including VAT, September 2026). The sign-up form has a 'micro-business' option; we found no separate business offer.

Where the label states grams per kWh or grams per MWh, that figure is converted exactly to micrograms per kWh (1 gram = 1,000,000 micrograms, 1 gram per MWh = 1,000 micrograms per kWh).

The page states a 0% contribution to CO2 and radioactive waste. Sources other than wind and solar are not in the text.

Supplier cost per year

Both amounts come from Frank Energie's comparison table (updated April 2026): fixed supply fee €7.25 per month and purchase fee €0.0182 per kWh. The table does not say whether the amounts include or exclude VAT (VAT basis not stated), nor whether the €7.25 applies per product. An older Frank page (dated 3 January 2025) states €7 per month, also without a VAT basis. For the purchase fee, Frank's own sources do point to a VAT-inclusive amount: Frank defines the all-in price as 'the market price plus purchase fee, energy tax and VAT', and in Frank's public price feed the all-in price is exactly market price + 21% VAT on the market price + €0.01815 purchase fee + €0.11085 energy tax (the VAT-inclusive rate). VAT is only added separately to the market price there, which means €0.01815 (rounded €0.0182) already includes VAT (€0.015 excluding VAT). This is derived, not stated verbatim. Frank bills hourly prices by default; you can switch to quarter-hour prices in the app.

Indefinite term; cancellation is free and there is no notice period.

* Amount as the supplier publishes it; the supplier does not say whether it includes VAT. Supplier cost per year: 12 × fixed fee + markup × 5,130 kWh (average household plus 15,000 km of home charging), incl. VAT, excl. energy tax and grid costs.

For EV drivers

ERE deal: Yes. Via registration service Joulo (since 16 September 2026), for customers with a suitable charge point with a MID meter. Signing up before 25 February 2027 includes sessions from 1 January 2026; quarterly payout, shown in the Frank app. View this ERE offer

Smart charging: Smart Charging in the Frank app: set a departure time and Frank schedules charging at the cheapest moments. Car brands: Audi, BMW, Cadillac, Chevrolet, Cupra, GMC, Honda, Hyundai, Jaguar, Kia, Land Rover, Lexus, Lucid, Mazda, Mercedes, MG, MINI, NIO, Nissan, Porsche, Renault, SEAT, Skoda, Subaru, Tesla, Toyota, Volkswagen, Volvo. Chargers: Charge Amps, ChargePoint, Easee, Garo, Heidelberg, Hypervolt, KEBA, Ohme, Pod Point, Schneider Electric, Wallbox, Zaptec. In parts of Flevoland, Gelderland, Utrecht and Noord-Brabant (East) an extra grid-congestion fee is possible.

Home battery: Slim Stroom Handelen: Frank steers a linked home battery to charge at low and discharge at high prices, including on the imbalance market; open to multiple brands. Smart traders get a 'Frank Slim discount' that sets purchase fees to zero (fair-use policy).

Feed-in: No feed-in costs. Per the comparison table (April 2026) and the knowledge base, exported power earns the market price plus a feed-in purchase fee of €0.0182 per kWh; the table explains that a positive value means you receive money. The invoice guide, however, says you pay a purchase fee on exported power; Frank's own pages are not consistent on this. With Slim Terugleveren (a linked inverter from brands including Enphase, SolarEdge, SMA, Huawei, Solis, Sungrow, GoodWe, Fronius and Growatt) Frank mentions a feed-in bonus of about 15% on the market price.

Per kWh including VAT and energy tax, excluding fixed supply costs, grid costs and the tax reduction per connection. Markup: as we recorded it per month; before September 27, 2026 the first markup we saw. * The supplier publishes the amount without saying whether it includes VAT. Market price: Energy-Charts (Fraunhofer ISE), data Bundesnetzagentur | SMARD.de (CC BY 4.0)

Worked example: an electric car charging 2,700 kWh a year at home would have paid about €337 less over the last 12 months with smart charging than charging in the evening. That assumes the car is plugged in during the cheapest hours. More trends
