Just wondering what times 'off peak' fall into?

Best answers:

• Hi,
  It can kick in from 12-7am or 12:30-7:30am depending on region for E7.
  Your Supplier would be able to confirm it correctly.
  It's not uncommon though for them to be out by hours. This helps some customer save money, but not all.
  See if the night dial has started recording at at 11:50 and then against just after 12. If not, try it for the 12:30 routine. Thats if you don't want to call your Supplier.
  E10 and the various Flexiheat, E18 etc etc...they are different issues.

• Nice one Swanjon, couldn't find the other threads.
  OP - Worth also noting that if you have an Off Peak only meter with bursts OP1/OP2/OP3, the bursts are different to E7 as they can be through the day.
• Found it.
  ChumpusRex provided a lisgt which may help those other regions

• SwanJon's post came from another thread where a poster has added part of the industry held Market Domain Data. These are open and closed as they go out of the market so they cannot be used in any registrations.
  Every Supplier gets a full list and it is constantly updated where new codes and combinations enter the market.
  Your bill shows a 3 digit number which denotes this. You won't know though as it's more for the Suppliers when you change. The SSC's above are held between Suppliers and Agents so you will have no way to check them without contacting your Supplier.
  These are all the meter types in the SPOW region. White metering is still there. Now, how the meter is set up is the important part - not how the Supplier decides to change the name of your tariff e.g. you have 8.5hr white meter on E7 tariff = you still get the 8.5 off peak but it is billed against an E7 tariff. You still get your meter timeswitch time though. They can't get around that without changing the data below which is for the old SPOW region and is used by ALL Suppliers for that region.

• I have a Scottish power economy 7 meter and i`m very happy with it.
  We use the washer dishwasher, slow cooker and breadmaker at night and it saves us a good bit, as we work shifts the shower is usually used at cheap rate too.
  The times are supposed to be 12 until 7am winter and 1 until 8 in the summer but the time on the meter is wrong and at the moment we get the thunk and the lovely red light at around 1120 pm, it loses at bit each year and we should be using it mid day in around 20 years
