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. ## Electricity label 2025 Company mix - Wind, Netherlands - Solar, Netherlands Sources in the 2025 electricity label of Frank Energie | Source | Share | | --- | --- | | Wind, Netherlands | 80% | | Solar, Netherlands | 20% | Renewable 100% Dutch guarantees of origin 100% CO2 0 g/kWh Radioactive waste 0 µg/kWh 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. [Stroometiket 2025, Frank Energie](https://www.frankenergie.nl/nl/stroometiket) · Checked October 13, 2026 · [All electricity labels](https://erevergelijken.eu/en/green-electricity/) ## Dynamic contract Fixed fee per month €7.25\* Markup per kWh €0.0182\* Price per hour Supplier cost per year €180\* 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.

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](https://erevergelijken.eu/en/providers/frank-energie/) 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. ## Sources - [Website Frank Energie](https://www.frankenergie.nl/?utm_source=erevergelijken&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=vergelijking&utm_content=supplier_website) - [Tariffs Frank Energie](https://www.frankenergie.nl/nl/dynamisch-energiecontract/dynamische-energieprijzen) - [Frank Energie: Dynamisch energiecontract vergelijken (tabel april 2026)](https://www.frankenergie.nl/nl/dynamisch-energiecontract/dynamisch-energiecontract-vergelijken) - [Frank Energie: Terugleververgoeding (€ 0,0182/kWh, Slim Terugleveren)](https://www.frankenergie.nl/nl/kennisbank/zonnepanelen/terugleververgoeding) - [Frank Energie: Leeswijzer afrekening (inkoopvergoeding teruglevering)](https://www.frankenergie.nl/nl/leeswijzer-afrekening) - [Frank Energie Aanvullende voorwaarden Dynamisch Product](https://cdn.sanity.io/files/8navd656/production/5203395e7d743fded9f20a73d723132aae1d3db0.pdf) - [Frank Energie openbare prijzenfeed (GraphQL marketPricesElectricity)](https://frank-graphql-prod.graphcdn.app/) - [Frank Energie: Slim Laden](https://www.frankenergie.nl/nl/slimme-diensten/slim-laden) - [Frank Energie: Slim Stroom Handelen](https://www.frankenergie.nl/nl/slimme-diensten/slim-handelen) - [Frank Energie: Nieuws ERE-certificaten met Joulo (16 september 2026)](https://www.frankenergie.nl/nl/nieuws/ere-certificaten-joulo) - [Frank Energie: Dynamisch energiecontract (oudere pagina, vaste vergoeding € 7, d.d. 3 januari 2025)](https://www.frankenergie.nl/nl/bang-voor-dynamisch5) - [Frank Energie: Variabel contract (alleen via prijsvergelijkers)](https://www.frankenergie.nl/nl/variabel-contract) - [Frank Energie: Variabel contract prijzen](https://www.frankenergie.nl/nl/variabel-contract-prijzen) - [Frank Energie: Referentietarief opzegvergoeding (vast contract)](https://www.frankenergie.nl/nl/referentietarief-opzegvergoeding) - [Frank Energie Aanvullende productvoorwaarden 1 jaar Vast product](https://cdn.sanity.io/files/8navd656/production/fc4e470a5a76202a07f99589299e225429db35ae.pdf) - [ACM: Energieleveranciers met een vergunning (elektriciteit)](https://www.acm.nl/nl/herstructurering-energie/elektriciteit-en-gas/energie-leveren-met-vergunning/energieleveranciers-met-een-vergunning) Checked on September 27, 2026 Cost per month ## What a kWh cost with Frank Energie Each month’s market price, plus energy tax and VAT, plus Frank Energie’s markup.

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](https://www.energy-charts.info/charts/price_spot_market/chart.htm?l=nl&c=NL) (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.
