    If you have a smart meter does the night rate time NOT change anymore…its 11pm until 8am all year around (Electric ireland)

    I was feeling great this moring in the shower thinking I had until 9am at cheap rate but when I checked the online portal it said 8am day rate kicked in (as of 6th April)

    I was under the impression that with the 108 SM the time does change, so it's midnight to 9am now

    If on smart plan it's 11-8 year round

    If on day night(mcc02) it is now 12-9

    But the time does change on the RM108 meter.

    I had my meter in before the October time change

    Whats your meter code on the bill?

    I thought you couldn't get insights if you weren't on a smart plan?

    Im on a smart meter one of the new fancy ones that were rolled out to people who had day night meters (MCC12). I just assumed that the time would shift like before but I suppose that only happened becuse the old D/N meters didnt change their time as the clocks went forward or back.

    I will just have to get up earlier and have the shower🤔

    Your on a smart plan if it's mcc12

    It is 11-8 for you.

    Mcc02 is the traditional day night

    Mine is going in on Wednesday (RM108 for MCC02 day night rate), good to know it still changes with the seasons so it's still 11-8 in winter and 12-9 in summer, yeah?

    If on traditional DN plan

    Summer off peak is 12-9

    Winter off peak is 11-8

    The time does change on the meter.

    If on smart plan, it's 11-8 year round.
