Separate day and night rates on an Economy 7 meter
This is an Economy 7 tariff with separate day and night rates. We show both, but we do not rank it or quote an annual cost: the time the meter switches between them is set per meter and per region, and is not published. Costing it would mean inventing that switching time.
A quick suitability check before you compare the live price with your own home and usage.

About Flexible Octopus Economy 7
This is Flexible Octopus read on an Economy 7 meter, which records electricity on two registers and charges a separate rate for each: a lower one for a block of overnight hours and a higher one for everything else. This page publishes both rates as the catalogue holds them. It does not rank this tariff against the others and does not show an annual cost, because working one out means deciding which half hours belong to the night register, and that switching time is set per meter and per region and is not published anywhere this site can read.
