What EDF pays for the electricity your panels send back, tariff by tariff, who is allowed each one, and how EDF says you apply. Read from its own page, with how it compares to every other supplier we track. Nobody is going to ring you.
Figures on this page last checked 28 September 2026. Each carries its own receipt with its own date.
Rates as of 28 September 2026. Read from EDF's own page (www.edfenergy.com/energy-efficiency/smart-export-tariff). If a rate here disagrees with EDF's page today, EDF's page wins.
EDF lists four export tariffs for homes: SEG Export Variable for anyone, SEG Export Variable Value and Export 12m V2 for its own electricity customers, and Export Exclusive 12m V3 where EDF sold you the panels or the battery. Its page also keeps a price history for the two variable tariffs, which is more than most suppliers show you: by its own record, the rate open to anyone has not moved since December 2022.

We keep every supplier's export rates in one table, each read from that supplier's own page. Here is where EDF's rates sit in it, group by group, because a rate only means something against the others you could actually have.
The ranks and the differences in pence are our comparison from the table as we last read it, not figures EDF publishes. Rows paying the same rate share a place. Time-of-use and wholesale-linked tariffs anywhere in the table are left out of the ranking, because they have no single rate to rank. The rate open to anyone runs from 2p/kWh to 13p/kWh across the whole table.
As EDF's own pages put it, in our words:
You apply on EDF's own site. We do not take applications, we do not ask for your details, and nobody pays us for sending you there.
Four household export tariffs: SEG Export Variable for anyone, SEG Export Variable Value and Export 12m V2 for EDF electricity customers, Export Exclusive 12m V3 where EDF sold the solar or battery

Ofgem lists EDF Energy Customers Limited as a mandatory SEG licensee for 1 April 2026 to 31 March 2027. Ofgem publishes which suppliers have told it they are taking part in the Smart Export Guarantee each year. The big ones have no choice: a supplier with enough household customers must offer a tariff. Smaller ones can volunteer.
Mandatory SEG licensees: British Gas Trading Limited; E (Gas and Electricity) Ltd; E.ON Next Energy Limited; EDF Energy Customers Limited; Electricity Plus Supply Limited (trading as Utility Warehouse); Foxglove Energy Supply Limited; Fuse Energy Supply Limited; Octopus Energy Limited; OVO Electricity Ltd; ScottishPower Energy Retail Limited; So Energy Trading Limited; Utilita Energy Limited. Voluntary: Pozitive Energy Ltd; Ruby Electricity Ltd; Smart Pay Energy Ltd; Voltx Power Ltd

Ofgem's rule is that your export payments, your electricity supply and your gas supply can each be with a different company. So you can take an open-to-anyone export tariff from one supplier and keep buying your electricity from another. The catch is in the table: the higher rates are mostly reserved for that supplier's own customers, so switching your export alone gets you the open tier.
You can use one company for export payments and another for your electricity supply

It depends which EDF tariff you can have. SEG Export Variable, open to anyone, pays 3p/kWh. EDF electricity customers can have SEG Export Variable Value at 5.6p/kWh or the one-year fixed Export 12m V2 at 13p/kWh. Export Exclusive 12m V3 pays 18p/kWh where EDF sold you the solar or battery.
Only for the better rates. SEG Export Variable at 3p/kWh is available whether you are an EDF customer or with another supplier. SEG Export Variable Value and Export 12m V2 need EDF to supply your electricity.
EDF's one-year fixed export tariff for its existing residential electricity customers, paying 13p/kWh with no exit fees. It is for solar PV only, on systems under 50kW. At least one comparison site lists a higher rate for it; EDF's own page says 13p/kWh.
People who buy solar panels, a battery or both from EDF, with the enquiry and the purchase after 2 March 2026. It pays 18p/kWh, fixed for 12 months, with no exit fees. Earlier EDF installations were offered older versions, which EDF's page lists as withdrawn.
EDF says the variable rates can go up or down and that it writes to you at least 5 days before a change. By the price history on its page, SEG Export Variable has paid 3p/kWh since December 2022 and SEG Export Variable Value 5.6p/kWh since July 2022.
