They have 'variable DD' - they take what you owe. Not sure if they do 
'pay on bill'. I've just left Agile ( winter tariff) and switched to 
Flux . I'm a big advocate of smart meters and run a FB group for 
disgruntled EDF users. My smart meter is great- dual band so HAN comms 
is 868 MHz and great range.Current annual savings ( against SVT) is 
~£1500 . 5.3 kWp west facing /3.68 Inverter/9.5 kW battery
