About Octopus Fixed Economy 7
Octopus Fixed read on an Economy 7 meter: two registers, a lower rate for the overnight block and a higher one for the rest of the day, with both held for the length of the contract rather than reviewed periodically. This page shows the day and night rates the catalogue publishes for each region. It is deliberately left out of the rankings and shown without an annual cost, because costing it would mean assigning each half hour to the day or the night register, and the switching time that decides this is set per meter and per region and is not published anywhere.

Good to know
Questions, answered
- Why is there no annual cost or ranking here?
- An annual cost for a two-register tariff depends on how consumption splits between the day rate and the night rate, and that split depends on when the meter switches over. That time is configured per meter, varies by region and is not published, so any total shown here would be a guess dressed up as a figure.
- What does fixing change on an Economy 7 meter?
- Both rates are held for the term instead of moving with periodic reviews. The day rate and the night rate each stay where they are, and so does the gap between them.
- How do I know which rate I paid?
- Your meter records the two registers separately and your bill shows them separately. That is the only reliable account of how your usage divided between the day rate and the night rate.
