Smart meter timings

Rosie1001

They have just emailed me to say the hub is having issues …. 

I’m not even going to look at it anymore 

will rely on bright , and actual meter readings going forward

From the meter 

last weds when the meter was corrected … 

peak 000214 …. Today …. 00233

off peak 00478 … today  00478 

so looks like all is working ok 

I am going to read my actual meter once a week 

Ihd is quite accurate , so will be checking that throughout the week 

thank you once again everyone , you have all been so helpful 

So say Wed - Tues - 6 days +/- depending on when updated when readings taken

SC = 59.4p

Peak used 233-214 = 19 kWh / say 6 days = 3kWh - not a lot - at 38p / kWh = £1.14

Off peak used 478-478 - 0 ??

I make that roughly £1.80 per day rates used above inc VAT

You sure - those were readings and that register 2 is actually working for the 10 hours 12-5 1-4 and 8-10 GMT.

As over 10 hours - and over 5 to 6 days might have expected even a fridge to burn through over a kWh overnight - so 6 nights - 30 hours - let alone all your normal household activity in afternoon / evening sessions. Say washing machine a few times per week etc - in those off peak slots.

Plus even although no NSH perhaps - what about hot water heating overnight etc - would expect that to  be 2-3 kWh per day on its own for 2.

Sorry should be 00625 for my off peak 

Rosie1001

Overnight 

yesterday… 000233 …. Now 00236

yesterday 00625 …Now 00640

only one heater on .. on number 3 just to keep a nice temp in bedroom 

normal electric overnight , fridge freezer , two tv and tv boxes on standby , microwave and that’s it 

Rosie1001

Washer dryer I only use in off peak ,

never been a big user of day use power 

Rosie1001

That’s an old bill from this time last year … 

On old meter .. so have not blocked out the details as not valid anymore

So 625-478 = 147 / 6 = c25 at 14.5 = 3.60 per day.

Add to my £1.80 above - approx £5.40  per day since meter fixed until yesterday

Yesterday to today - assuming roughly same time reads -
3 peak at 38.128 = £1.24(4)
15 off peak at 14.481 = £2.17(2)
1 sc = 59.(44) p

Approx total = oops edit £4.00 or £4.01 £5.00 or £5.01 depending on rounding.

Note edf will always be daily register snapshot iirc just after midnight utc time iirc other thread discussions.


Confused by the 4 readings on last years bill(*).  But your fix rates were c8p and c4p cheaper roughly - but for that total period you appear to have been billed. 

(*) Guessing your rts and normal feed both had dual rate meters ? 

£521.26/98 = £5.32 per day
476+7 = 483 kW peak  / 98 days = 4.9 kWh peak per day
124+2931 = 3055 night /98 days = 31 kWh off peak per night

Given you have shifted 5 "daytime" hours use of the 17 hours of e7 peak to off peak on e10 the 5 to 3 seems reasonable.

The 31 to 15 off peak yesterday but c25 in last 6 days to yesterday - maybe because the longer off peak boosts - afternoon and evening - are still maintaining room temps better at lower thermostat settings on iirc at least one of your 2 heaters since went e10.  (From an earlier thread if not above)

Not a million miles away in other words from last years use or cost.

Hopefully the combined kWh savings will last to offset the higher e10 charge rates.

I had one rts meter …

I had to give 4 readings ..

day and night , heat and one other reading that never changed

Latest from the saga 

I have been able to further review your account today.

I have noted that from 1st-9th April you were charged: £76.91

84 kWh @ off peak 14.841p = £12.47

169 kWh @ peak 38.128p = £64.44

£12.47 + £64.44 = £76.91

Whereas this should have been charged at: £57.10

84 kWh @ peak 38.128p = £32.02

169 kWh @ off peak 14.841p = £25.08

£32.02 + £25.08 = £57.10

Therefore we overcharged you £19.81.

I have emailed back and said I was not as simple as rates needing reversed , see what they say 

They have all my photos from meter … they don’t seem to understand my afternoon and evening boosts ALL went on peak read on meter !

I wrote 

on 2nd April showed  my PEAK rate at 00056  … then on the 9 th … 000214

So from meter being installed on march 19 th (0000kwh )  to 2nd of April I used 00056 kWh 

but after 9 days of meter issue starting  you are saying in used 158 kWh … for 9 days !!!  I don’t think so
