crazy charging policy

Pincher, unused tier 1 units do not roll over from one quarterly bill to the next. If you use less than 670 kWh one quarter you do not have to pay more than 670 tier 1 units the following quarter.

Since I have never tested this scenario, I will not force my interpretation on anybody.

As the tariff description stands, I cannot contest it if EON chooses to charge Tier 1 rate for the "first 2680 kWh" used in a one year cycle.
Since I use a lot more than that, and I am always paying the full standing charge, it will half my calculations when I compare tariffs if I can ignore Tier 1.

As for the people who are getting to pay less because Tier 1 does not carry over into the next quarter, I'm glad it's working out for you: monastic life must be very rewarding spiritually.:p

Hi guys

Just to clarify E.ON's policy on two tier charging; Cardew is right, we charge pro rate per day for tier one units.

The yearly tier one threshold is divided by 365 days, and then multiplied by the number of days in the billing period.

For example, if the tier one threshold is 900 kWh per annum and the billing period is 80 days, the calculation will be as follows.

900/365 = 2.466

80 x 2.466 = 197 kWh

In this case, 197 kWh will be the number of units charged at the higher tier one price.

Hope this clarifies the issue with regard to E.ON. Give me a shout if anyone needs any more info as will be happy to help.

Ok, I was wrong.:o
Grovel grovel.

So, if I buy a weather baloon, fill it with gas in January, and use it till November, I only have to pay Tier 1 pro rata for one quarter.
How's that for cat and mouse foolery?
