Electricity prices

[Rookie]

Our meter has been in for years so no difference for weekends. Night time will have been set when meter installed so probably 12 to 7am ? Not sure without looking.

Just checked and it is 12 until 7am. Old analogue clock type meter ( not digital).

Are you able to state what Hrs a Day/Night are and any difference for weekends?

Economy 7 tariff has been around for years 12 - 7 am GMT
With the rollout of smart meters & half hourly metering (now standard on supplies over, I think, 50kva) the energy companies latest weeze is to bring in tariffs with different rates during the day. for example 7am -9 am & early evening high rate. mid morning & mid afternoon cheaper. - as you have found out

Very similar to another I have seen from the same co.

 

[teslacoils]

29.75

Pence per day?

 

[lazy farmer]

Pence per day?

Sorry yes

 

[teslacoils]

Sorry yes

I'd suggest you look at a buying group. My standing charge is 10 percent higher, but a flat day and night rate - both of which are lower than your night rate. Renewed last few days. I moved from Scottish power who were totally shyte.

I think it wise to also check if there are any further add on charges. As I have posted earlier my Electric cost is good but the add on charges nearly equal the cost per Kw of the actual electric cost.

I tell you what that fudgin e.on next lot are a set of cheeky barstewards. They take over my house hold electric from Npower who I haven’t had a bill from since September so I paid up £300 in middle of feb and sent a new meter reading got new bill next day for another £55 so thou I’d pay it when I get paid in a fortnight day before I was going to pay I gets a red letter from them for it threatening bailiffs and £20 for late payment. Turns out they want paying monthly now not quarterly and they only give you 10 days to pay. 2 days later I gets a letter saying a price increase of £60 a year.
so who’s the best for house hold electric only ruff quote I have so far is British Gas and there £50 cheaper than I’m already paying (with a quarterly bill which I prefer over DD)

DD is much cheaper , if you think Eon are bad , British Gas are in a different league

 

[teslacoils]

Eon have resumed sending me bills for a house which no longer exists, and from which they removed the meter back in 2018. And won't accept that there simply isn't a house there any more to supply.

@Karliboy You mention that they are going to charge an extra £60 a year. So at the end of the year do you get a balancing charge/rebate? I dont get this going to be charged £X/month then at the end of the year you get something you were not expecting. Do many that do this £X a month actually realise what there charges are per Kw, per day standing charge, with then the extra add on for this that and everything else?

 

[Happy hillbily]

Any decent brokers people are using for electric. The guy i used last time isn't returning calls .

These seem better than some. No hard sell, or pestering phone calls.
