HOW IT WORKS
UNLIMITED ENERGY FOR STUDENTS
Unlimited Renewable Energy for your student house
Fused's Unlimited Energy service comes with 100% renewable electricity and is a game changer for house shares. Here’s how it works and why all Fused packages come with this service as standard.
Here’s how Unlimited Energy works
-
Pay your bill each month.
-
Use all the gas and electricity you need.
-
Feel good about using 100% renewable electricity.
-
…That’s literally it.
It’s a bit like an unlimited phone contract. And, unlike a traditional capped deal from a supplier, you’ll never never get a bill for “overuse” at the end of your contract.
UNLIMITED ENERGY
Is Unlimited Energy really unlimited?
Yep. Unlimited for any domestic use. As long as you’re not operating a small factory or an industrial kiln, you’re good.
Covered by Unlimited Energy:
-
As much heating as you need to stay warm
-
As many charging cables as you need to stay connected
-
As many nights in front of the TV as you like
-
All the showers and baskets of laundry you need to stay fresh
You get the idea. All of your domestic energy use is covered.
Not covered by Unlimited Energy:
-
Any non-domestic energy use
WHAT’S THE DIFFERENCE?
What’s the difference between Unlimited Energy and energy from a supplier?
Unlimited Energy is a service you pay for, not an amount of energy you pay for.
-
With a traditional energy supplier, you pay for every unit of energy you use, based on the tariff you sign up for. This is a capped energy deal.
-
With Unlimited Energy, you pay one price each month, with no usage limits to go over or under.
-
This means there's no risk of a huge bill at the end of your package, because there’s no limit to go over.
-
And like an unlimited mobile deal, there's no money back if you don't use a certain amount.
Your Unlimited Energy tariff is based on the price of energy, because we pay energy suppliers on your behalf - but your monthly bill will never change based on your energy use.
RENEWABLE ENERGY FOR STUDENTS
More about our renewable energy
The energy in your Fused package will come from either Octopus Energy or Rebel Energy, and we'll deal with them for you.
Both of our energy partners offer 100% renewable electricity, and do amazing work to make the UK power supply greener for everybody over time.
Unlimited Renewable Energy is the default option in a Fused package. Very rarely you might need to stay with the existing supplier at your address, who may not offer green energy, but it'll still be unlimited.

It’s like an unlimited mobile contract. Super convenient.

No charges for “over using” energy. Ever.
You're not paying for your usage, you’re paying for a service that means you can stop thinking about your usage. -

Even if they love a long hot bath with all the lights on and the heating full blast. -

With Unlimited Energy you don’t need to be like the 52% of students who avoid putting the heating on to save money in winter. (Save the Student)
MORE INFO
So, what’s a capped bills package? And why is Fused better for students?
A capped energy package is the default offering from energy suppliers, and it’s what you’d get if you set up an account with them. You pay the same each month, but get billed at the end of your contract if you use “too much” energy. Unlimited Energy from Fused lets you use as much as you need with no worries.
WHY IT’S GREAT IN REAL LIFE
Why Unlimited Energy is a better deal for students
Capped energy bills are always an option, of course, but here are some stories from real students about problems Unlimited Energy would have solved for them at uni
-
I used to live with a girl who’d bang on the door when I showered ‘cause she was worried about the cost of bills. I would check she wasn't in the house before I would take a shower. Wouldn't have been an issue if we had an Unlimited Energy package.
-
On the capped package we had from a supplier, my housemates and I would set timers on our phones and use the heating on for a max of half an hour a day for fear of getting charged extra…you can imagine how cold and miserable it was.
-
When I finally moved into my own flat on a capped package, I went over my energy allowance in the first month. I just had no idea how much I was actually using until I was charged.
-
Someone unofficially moved his girlfriend in. She’d take long showers, blow-dry her hair etc. At the end of the tenancy there was an energy bill for £350 over use (capped package!) and he refused to let his girlfriend be charged a penny.
These have been edited for length and clarity, but otherwise they’re from real students, some of whom have worked for Fused.
