Octopus still can't give me the Economy 7 Unit split

danmed

So.. 1 day before everything kicks off and Octopus still cannot give me the economy 7 unit split price...

They can give me a weighted average (33.99) and a standing charge of 50.43p.. but no unit prices... seems a little ridiculous to me...

But.. can someone tell me if i'm correct..

What ever they decide the split is...

if i add up 17 of the day rate, and 7 of the night rate.. and then divide the total by 24.. it *should* average out at 33.99 (or there abouts)... is that how this works?

No, it';s a consumption-weighted average not a time-weighted average, and the official factor is 58:42.

If you add 58 of the day rate (in p) and 42 of the night rate (in p) it should total £33.99 (or less).

So the night rate can be anywhere between 0p and 33.99p, with the day rate anywhere between 33.99p and 62.94p assuming no negative prices.  Not sure that's helpful.
