So you have a smart E7 meter, or an older style?

Its the normal meter none smart

You should be in area 14, 00:00-07:00 GMT, remember that now the clocks have changed the UK is on GMT+1, but on the non smart meters it does depend when the meter switches registers itself as they can and do drift over time, check the time the meter thinks it is. I would also recommend checking on the meter at the point it should switch to see when it actually does, then you know for sure.

I would have thought both meters would be of the same time period

Thanks my meter was switching on E 7 @11.23 pm so i presume as the clocks have gone forward it will now switch on @ 00.23 and off @ 06. 23
My meter clock is running 15mins slow so it all gets really confusing well for me it does thanks for you help Matt

If it switches to off-peak rate at 00:23 then it should switch back to peak at 07:23, you should still get seven hours of off-peak usage, it is just the start and finish times are a little wonky.

All that counts is when your meter actually switches over, not when it's supposed to. Get it wrong when you switch appliances on or charge an EV and it could be an expensive mistake !

If it's 00:23 - it should also be 07:23.

7 hours off peak not six

It would I suspect have been 11:23 and 06:23 GMT

Thanks Matt i will check it tonight to just make sure when its happening
I think your right saying things are a little wonky with the meters is the norm 
Nice one Matt
