EDF Energy Refer a Friend & Promo Code — £50 account credit

The reward, and the 6 October deadline

EDF's Refer a Friend scheme pays the household that joins and the customer who referred it, both as credit on their EDF energy accounts. The standard figure is £50 each. EDF lifts it for set periods: in 2026 it ran from 21 May to 13 July, and now runs from 14 September to 6 October 2026, when the joining household receives £75 and the existing customer £100.

So the date you are referred decides your figure. A switch begun through https://topreferrals.co.uk/go/edf-energy on or before 6 October 2026 earns £75; after that, EDF's standard £50 applies unless it runs another boost. EDF's terms tie the reward to the amount shown in the referring customer's online account, which is why the figure and its end date are both stated here.

	Referred 14 Sep to 6 Oct 2026	Standard rate
You, the new customer	£75 credit	£50 credit
The customer who referred you	£100 credit	£50 credit
How it is paid	Off your EDF energy bill	Off your EDF energy bill

Claiming it without a code

EDF does not hand out referral codes. Each customer has a personal link shaped like edfenergy.com/quote/refer-a-friend/adjective-noun-numbers, and that link is the whole mechanism. TopReferrals publishes it as https://topreferrals.co.uk/go/edf-energy.

1. Open the link. It lands on EDF's quote page with the referral already recorded.
2. Enter your address and choose a tariff. Any EDF tariff qualifies, for gas, electricity or both.
3. Complete the switch on edfenergy.com. EDF agrees a date with your current supplier, asks for meter readings and tells you when the switch has completed.
4. Pay your first bill. EDF then credits the reward, usually around four weeks after you joined, and emails to say it is there.

Two routes matter if you do not switch at once. EDF emails a copy of any quote you do not complete, but the referral only follows a fresh quote run through the link, so return to https://topreferrals.co.uk/go/edf-energy when you are ready. And if you switch by phone, give EDF the referral link at the start of that first call.

Who EDF accepts through the scheme

EDF's Refer a Friend terms set the boundaries clearly:

• The new household must not have been an EDF customer in the past 12 months.
• The address must not already be supplied by EDF.
• Only homes can be referred; small businesses can refer friends but not be referred.
• The switch has to be made directly with EDF; sign-ups through a third-party website do not carry the reward.
• The referral stands alone and cannot be combined with another EDF new-customer promotion.

Prepayment and Pay As You Go households are covered. After EDF's confirmation email, a call to EDF moves the credit onto the meter.

What EDF sells: fixed, tracker, variable and smart tariffs

The credit is the same whichever tariff you pick, so the choice is purely about price.

• Standard Variable follows Ofgem's cap. For October to December 2026 the cap is £1,723 a year for a typical Direct Debit dual-fuel home, 4% up on the summer, and electricity carries no VAT until 31 March 2027.
• Simply Fixed locks the unit rates and standing charges for the term, with an exit fee. On 1 October 2026, EDF's two-year version for a London home paying on receipt of bill was 28.07p per kWh for electricity and 8.58p for gas, fixed to November 2028.
• Simply Tracker moves with the cap each quarter and takes £25 a year off each fuel's standing charge.
• Time-of-use and low-carbon plans:
  • FreePhase prices a 4pm to 7pm peak above 14 off-peak and seven super off-peak hours.
  • The EV tariff gives seven cheaper hours from 11pm to 6am.
  • Heat pump tariffs take 10p per kWh off from 4am to 7am and 1pm to 4pm.

EDF's own forecast expects the cap to rise again in January 2027, and EDF says a one-year fix at £1,952 a year or less could beat tracking the cap at Ofgem's typical use.

How EDF's credit stacks up

Supplier	New customer gets	Form of reward
EDF Energy	£50, or £75 if referred by 6 Oct 2026	Energy account credit
Octopus Energy	£50	Energy account credit
E.ON Next	£50	Voucher through Mention Me
British Gas	Up to £50 (dual fuel), £25 (one fuel)	Amazon.co.uk gift card

Each supplier's own refer-a-friend page, read 1 October 2026.

Inside EDF's boost window it pays the most of the four. At the standard rate it pays the same headline as Octopus and E.ON Next, delivered as money off the energy bill itself.

Is there an EDF promo code or discount code?

The searches are for codes; the reward is a link.

You searched for	The answer
EDF promo code	EDF's offers page publishes none for new households; the joining reward is the referral credit
EDF discount code	Nothing to enter. The saving is the referral credit, plus tariff features such as the Simply Tracker's standing-charge discount
EDF voucher	EDF pays bill credit rather than vouchers
EDF referral code	It is a link: https://topreferrals.co.uk/go/edf-energy
EDF £75 offer	The boosted Refer a Friend reward, for referrals made 14 September to 6 October 2026

Beyond the referral: Flextras free electricity

Once on supply, EDF customers can join Flextras in the EDF app for free:

• Weekend Saver rewards households that cut weekday use between 4pm and 7pm with up to 25 hours of free electricity a month, used on a weekend they choose. It needs a smart meter sending half-hourly readings, and new members get four bonus hours for joining.
• tastecard: a 12-month membership that ends on its own.

EDF fits smart meters at no extra cost.

How TopReferrals verified it

The figures, dates and rules above were taken on 1 October 2026 from EDF's own Refer a Friend page, its Refer a Friend terms and conditions, its tariff and offers pages, and, for the comparison, each rival's own refer-a-friend page. The entry is re-checked against those sources and carries its verification date.

That is the difference from the coupon sites listing "EDF promo codes" EDF never issued, or the old forum threads still quoting a past boost. The link here is given in full, https://topreferrals.co.uk/go/edf-energy, so it can be copied, opened or cited exactly as it is.
