What hours is economy 7 (with Npower)?
Options
My mum is with Npower and she has is on an economy 7 tariff. She was told by them that economy 7 is from 9pm-3am but I think this is wrong and that is why her bills are so high (she is elderly and lives on her own). The hours of economy 7 is unsurprisingly missing from the Npower website and their call centre is closed, so does anyone know the exact hours that economy 7 applies to (with Npower if it is different according to provider)? I want to get her onto a cheaper tariff.

The hours can very depending on the Time Patterns Regime set for the property. They vary these to ensure all houses in a street dont switch on and off at the same time. If she is on a 7hr Economy 7 then 9pm to 3am is only 6hrs so thats not right. Only way to find out is to call you supplier or post the S number from your bill and that can be decoded to determine the meter type etc.IT Consultant in the utilities industry specialising in the retail electricity market.

It's nothing to do with Npower and all to do with your region and so Eons info will give you an idea.0 -
