It looks like EDF have pulled a blinder there.

With those E7 rates shifting as much as possible to night-time is going to save a bundle and if you have an EV that could be a win as well.

If you can't offer fixes, offer the best E7 rates around for night time use.

Not in my scope but wondering why the dramatic reduction for PAYG?

Why double the night time rate between East Midlands and Midlands?

Thanks for posting this.

It does not seem fair that some areas like Scotland are charged more than others for unit rates.

Especially given that Scotland is able to produce near  100% of its requirements as renewables. And this figure is increasing with another 10GW of offshore renewables and new hydro and pumped storage coming on stream over next 10 years.

(Official figures show gross consumption from renewables - minus net exports - was 98.6% in 2021)

Off topic, but perhaps that shows that Scotland would benefit from an independent electricty transmission network not as part of the UK, but as an independent Scotland with connection charges set for Scotland and not the whole of the UK.

Am I reading this right, for anyone that uses more than 4 kWh/day, its cheaper to go on PAYG than DD? (Midlands area)

Might have to look into that (but keep gas on DD as it's cheaper...)

Scotland does not own the generating capacity in its territory. It was built by international companies as part of a UK wide strategy for the benefit of the UK as a whole and isn't for the use of Scotland alone.
Whilst we are here, the national grid in Scotland costs more to build and maintain per household than England or Northern Ireland. If the standing charge was calculated for Scotland relative to England's it would be multiples higher not a bit higher as it is.

Why do you think renewable energy supplied to a generally sparsely populated area would automatically be cheaper than fossil/nuclear energy supplied to a generally densely populated area?

Scotland's renewables don't work 24/7.  What would Scotland (with an independent electricity transmission network) do for electricity when the wind isn't blowing?  How much would Scotland's population be willing to pay to provide and maintain the extra generation capacity required?

Ill agree to disagree as SSE headquartered in perth via SSN own majority of network.
Before that overhear lines wers put in by Scottish Hydro when it was a nationalised company, which then became SSE. 

Anyhoos as i said offtopic ill stay on topic and discuss the energy cap.

Will the figures in the edf pdf be the same for all companies for a given area?

I would expect them to be very similar, although they might not be the same.
