Cheaper in the evening

QuArTz

I am looking for a energy tariff that is cheaper in the evenings, I am at work most days from 08:00-20:00 and don't see the point in paying more for electricity when im not using it.

Could someone point me in the direction of a supplier, I have been looking at EDF but the tariffs are quite confusing.

Thank you

I dont think you can get one as the cheaper rates tend to be in the wee hours with economy 7

Why would you think a supplier give cheap rates in peak hours?

"see the point in paying more for electricity when im not using it"

You dont pay for electricity if you dont use it. You may pay a standing charge or higher rate tariff which really includes standing charge

EDF 20:20 tariff maybe what you are looking for

That is why I'm asking, whether a supplier has a tariff like this, because I dont know a lot about this subject.

But your biases of changing is because you pay for electricity you dont use in hours when you arent at home

Eco20:20's off peak electricity unit rate (which applies between 10pm until 8 am BST (or - 9pm until 7am GMT) weekdays and all weekend) is currently 20% cheaper than EDF Energy's standard core electricity tariff. An EDF Energy customer with a typical annual electricity consumption (3,300kwh) and usage pattern, could save up to £37 by moving to Eco 20:20. By shifting more of your electricity usage to off peak times you could save even more. Eco20:20 tariff is always set to GMT times, this means that during British Summer Time your off-peak times will be 10pm until 8am on weekdays.

What im trying to say is that during the evenings when im home I want to pay less as im not in during the day and its only me living here.
I am only home every other weekend so the 20:20 tariff sounds like the option im looking for.

The original comment about "paying for electricity when im not using it" maybe wasn't what I was trying to say.

Like I said I know very little about these things and so when I ask its because im looking for advice.
