The current list contains 5 suppliers that do not charge separate feed-in charges. We update the contracts and monthly amounts daily. Always pay close attention to the type of contract, because a supplier without feed-in charges may charge them on a different contract.
Other suppliers charge an amount per kWh fed back or work with monthly tiers based on your annual feed-in. In the standardised model contracts of 2026, according to the ACM feed-in charges must be shown per kWh. Various methods still occur in other contracts. Energy without feed-in charges is not automatically cheaper: always compare the net annual price for your own consumption plus feed-in.
Generation, direct own consumption, feed-in and surplus are not the same
The generation of your solar panels is all the electricity the installation produces. You use part of it directly in the home, for example for the fridge, washing machine or charging point. Only the remaining part goes to the grid via the electricity meter and counts as feed-in. Your energy supplier therefore does not see your full generation, but does see how much electricity you take from the grid and feed back to it.
We take a household that generates 2.100 kWh of solar electricity a year. Of this, 600 kWh is used immediately in the home and 1.500 kWh goes to the grid:
Solar panel generation: 2.100 kWh
Direct own consumption: 600 kWh
Feed-in to the grid: 1.500 kWh
Consumption from the grid: 2.300 kWh
Total household electricity consumption: 2.300 + 600 = 2.900 kWh
Up to and including 31 December 2026, you may net the 1.500 kWh of feed-in against the 2.300 kWh you take from the grid. After net metering, you still pay for 2.300 - 1.500 = 800 kWh. There is no surplus after net metering and you therefore do not receive a separate feed-in fee. However, according to the contract terms, your supplier may calculate feed-in charges on the full 1.500 kWh that actually went to the grid.
If, for example, you feed back 2.700 kWh and take 2.300 kWh, you can net 2.300 kWh. The remaining 400 kWh forms the surplus after net metering. Only on that surplus do you receive the agreed feed-in fee in 2026. Depending on the terms, the feed-in charges may meanwhile be calculated on all 2.700 kWh fed back.
From 1 January 2027, this offsetting will disappear. You will then pay for all the electricity you take from the grid and receive a fee for all the electricity you feed back. Direct own consumption remains outside the energy bill, because this electricity does not go through the meter to the grid.
Why do other suppliers charge feed-in charges?
Solar panels supply electricity mainly in the middle of sunny days. At that moment, many installations are producing at the same time and the market price is often low or even negative. The supplier therefore usually sells your electricity for less than the cost of the electricity he has to buy for you at other times.
In addition, costs arise from forecasting errors, imbalance and the net metering scheme. Up to and including 2026, a supplier has to offset electricity fed back against electricity you take at another time. In 2025, the ACM examined the records of sixteen suppliers and visited five of them. The regulator concluded that the costs examined were not unreasonable and were actually related to real solar electricity costs.
Scientific research supports the underlying price effect. Research shows that the market value of solar electricity decreases as more and more panels produce at the same time. The concentrated production causes so-called profile costs, while forecasting errors lead to balancing costs. Research by the Rijksuniversiteit Groningen also calculated, based on data from 2021, that net metering increased the electricity bill of households without solar panels by 14 percent on average. This makes it reasonable to move away from net metering.
Watch out for feed-in rate tiers
Not every supplier calculates feed-in charges in the same way. Some suppliers charge a fixed amount per kWh fed back. Others use tiers and link a fixed monthly amount to each quantity of feed-in. The ACM concluded that these diverging methods make energy contracts difficult to compare. The regulator therefore wants suppliers to calculate the costs in a uniform way per kWh fed back. In the 2026 model contracts, that method is already mandatory.
Rate tiers create a threshold effect. Suppose you pay € 12 per month for up to and including 1.500 kWh of feed-in and € 16 per month from 1.501 kWh. At 1.500 kWh, the annual feed-in charges amount to 12 × € 12 = € 144. If you feed back one extra kWh, the costs rise to 12 × € 16 = € 192. In this example, that one extra kWh therefore makes the bill € 48 higher.
The reverse also applies. If your feed-in drops from 1.600 to 1.550 kWh, you stay in the same tier and save nothing. Only when you drop below the 1.501 kWh limit does the monthly amount fall. Therefore check not only the amount of the tier, but also how close you are to the next limit.
No feed-in charges is not always the cheapest
The CBS calculated with average feed-in charges of € 0,126 per kWh fed back in January 2026. With a feed-in of 1.500 kWh × € 0,126, this would come to about € 189 in feed-in charges per year. This is a CBS average at the January 2026 price level, not a fixed amount that every supplier charges. A substantial part of the annual energy bill therefore consists of feed-in charges.
Yet a supplier with feed-in charges can be cheaper. Suppose, for example: supplier A charges no feed-in charges, but asks € 0,02 per kWh more for electricity, € 0,03 per m³ more for gas and € 1 per month more in fixed supply charges. Supplier B charges € 4,50 per month for 1.500 kWh of feed-in.
| Difference on an annual basis | Supplier A without charges | Supplier B with charges |
|---|---|---|
| Feed-in costs | € 0 | € 54 |
| Higher electricity rate at A | € 16 | € 0 |
| Higher gas rate at A | € 27 | € 0 |
| Higher standing charge at A | € 12 | € 0 |
| Total additional costs | € 55 | € 54 |
In 2026, the electricity calculation uses consumption after net metering: 2.300 minus 1.500 = 800 kWh. The price difference is therefore 800 × € 0,02 = € 16. For gas, the sum is 900 × € 0,03 = € 27 and the difference in standing charge is 12 × € 1 = € 12. Despite energy without feed-in charges, supplier A is € 1 per year more expensive in this example. Welcome discounts, offers and differences in the feed-in fee have not yet been taken into account.
From 2027, you will in any case have to recalculate. You will then pay the consumption rate on all 2.300 kWh you take from the grid. A difference of € 0,02 per kWh then costs € 46 per year. At the same time, you receive a fee for all 1.500 kWh fed back, which means that even a small difference in the feed-in fee has a big impact.
A dynamic energy contract is a possible alternative. According to the ACM, dynamic suppliers incur fewer profile costs and therefore often charge no or few fixed feed-in charges. You do, however, get the market price of the hour in question. That can be low or negative on sunny afternoons, while your consumption rate can also fluctuate strongly.
How to choose a supplier without feed-in charges
Check on your annual bill or smart meter how much electricity you actually supply to the grid. Do not just use the total production of your solar panels, because the electricity you use directly yourself does not reach your supplier. Calculate the monthly amount with your own consumption of electricity and gas.
Check the supply rates, fixed supply charges, cash discount, feed-in charges and feed-in compensation. The feed-in fee only plays a role if you feed back more than you take from the grid.
On 1 January 2027, an end comes to the net metering. Then you need to do the calculation again. From that moment, you will receive a fee for all electricity fed back. Until 1 January 2030, according to the Rijksoverheid it must be at least 50 percent of the bare supply rate. Feed-in charges can continue to exist, which means you must always assess the fee and charges together.
Frequently asked questions about suppliers without feed-in charges
The absence of feed-in charges only says something about one component of the energy contract. It does not necessarily make the energy contract cheaper or better. The answers below help you correctly assess the current list of energy suppliers without feed-in charges and the total annual price.
Which energy supplier has no feed-in charges?
At the moment, 5 suppliers without feed-in charges are in the current list above. The list is updated daily and applies to the contracts currently available. Always check the terms, because other contracts from the same brand may include feed-in charges.
What actually are feed-in charges?
Feed-in charges are costs that an energy supplier charges solar panel owners for electricity they supply to the grid. They relate to, among other things, purchasing differences, imbalance and net metering and are something different from the grid operator charges.
Is a supplier without feed-in charges always cheaper?
No. In our worked example, the supplier without feed-in charges is still € 1 per year more expensive due to a higher electricity rate, gas rate and standing charge. Therefore always compare the full net annual price and not just the costs for feed-in.
Will feed-in charges change after 2027?
Feed-in charges do not automatically disappear when the net metering scheme ends on 1 January 2027. According to the Rijksoverheid, suppliers may continue to charge costs that are actually related to electricity fed back. From 2027, however, you will receive a fee for every kWh fed back, which makes the combination of consumption rate, feed-in fee and feed-in charges more important.
May my supplier introduce feed-in charges during my contract?
The answer depends on the type of contract and the amendment clause. For a contract that continues after 1 January 2027, the supplier may only change terms if the contract clearly states why and how that can be done. According to ACM ConsuWijzer you may switch free of charge in the event of such a change.
For whom is an energy supplier without feed-in charges interesting?
An energy supplier without feed-in charges is mainly interesting if you feed back a lot of electricity and use relatively little gas. The advantage is smaller with a small solar roof or high gas consumption, because a higher gas rate, standing charge or a lower welcome discount then more quickly swallows up the avoided feed-in charges. A contract without feed-in charges then still ends up being something you pay for yourself.
