Best D/N Tariffs

Do you have a spreadsheet of tariffs available to share?

This is the current Energia EV plan.

Already with Energia and have just switched over. The day rate is slightly higher that what we are currently paying but the night rate is lower. Have new batteries on the way so plan on making the most of the night rate. Night rate will be beneficial also in winter months when charging the car.

No details on the FIT from them but hoping they follow other providers and also back date it.

was told it was fixed alright so we shall see indeed.

Thanks, looking at your spreadsheet, and specifically at the SSE 33% tariff...

We don't seem to get same values quoted. Maybe I'm not reading it correctly

You have Day: 23.23c Peak: 12.62c Night: 12.62c (peak doesn't look right?)

I get (bonkers) Day: 23.24c Peak: 24.79c Night: 17.63c

@SD_DRACULA above has same as you but different standing charge (349 vs 286.65) then for my results I get charge of 223.11?

One big switch offer now seems to be the best for D/N?? Can’t see anything remotely close to 12 cent at night?

Its 33% discount off standard rates, so currently Day 34.72 Night 18.65 standing charge €369

Bad news.... in winter solar pv will not improve your day night ratio at all. Really only habit changes like loads shifting will improve your ratio.

If you had a battery that you charge at night... then the size of the battery you charge can directly offset that stubborn winter time day rate.... but don't expect pv to help.

Math is easy here... if i use 20 kwh per day... say its 50% load shifted by me directly changing my habits BEFORE i get solar pv.... then I have 10 kwh of day rate to worry about. If I use a 5kw battery in my system to charge at night... then it changes to 75% night rate.

The link in faq for estimating winter solar production will give you a very accurate monthly estimate of the remaining winter sun... and it won't be much.

The thing with health insurance is you get different end products - maybe 100s maybe 1000s of variations.

This is far worse because at the end the product is the same. It is a service with day, day night, or day, night, high peak and low peak. So essentially 3 products for sale. At least when seeking electricity only. Yet its a mess.

Dare we imagine with EU announcement on gas cap today, and the wholesale price decreasing that rates might actually come down?

Went with energia EV rate, obviously not what it was months ago, but appears to be the cheapest night rate, and I should not hit the monthly caps. On the off chances prices fall back I suppose we can always pay the 50 quid to buy out, but I suppose for heavy night users competition for this plan might not change much.

Yes I'm for sure going to be paying for some units at the excess rate. However, it's only like 15c and that only applies to units in excess of 2000.

Hardly worth paying a breaking fee so close to the end when on balance prices should come down or remain the same.
