Tomato Energy (Electric Only Supplier) - Too Good To Be True ?
Good Energy has 2 interesting smart tarriffs: -5p a night (it doesn't need EV, it says you may need EV to get most of it) -12p between 5-9am and 13-16:00
But the interesting part is this bit:
Good to know
You'll need a working smart meter that sends half-hourly meter readings - we can connect to most smart meters installed from 2019 onwards. Once signed up we'll review your meter and let you know when we've successfully connected to it, or fix it if there are any problems. This may take up to 2 weeks.
So just like Tomato, they dont say directly we don't accept SMET1 but only support limited meters.
@Newbie_John : That's interesting. Which Good Energy tariff are you looking at? I can't find one offering the 5p a night rate. In my area their EV tariff is 8p. Perhaps it is area related.
Yeah, sorry it's 8p. I somehow have seen 5p instead! The Heat Pump version has 12p.
