Energy Club and E7 TOU Tariff

tamste

I seem to remember (?) that energy club previously asked what your % E7 usage was rather than just take a total for the year with no regard for TOU tariff use, which seems to be the case now.

Is there a part of the calculator I am missing, as the rate it gives seems to have no bearing on my current costs (and unit rates). I currently have ~70% of use on E7, and the output comparison data appears wildly inaccurate.

Am I the only one finding issues with this tool since they made changes recently?
Very concerned that some users will just accept the output without sense checking it.
As it now ignores TOU tariffs, I now find the whole tool misleading

When you 1st login to the Energy Club, click the Edit button shown in the screen shot below : 




At the bottom of the next screen you should find a slider that lets you set the % of your usage that is off-peak.

Unfortunately, it doesn't give that option now .. used to, but not visible any more

"2 - What happens if I'm on time-of-use or prepay? For now, it shows your cheapest deals & price, but misses some additional guidance."

It also for the tariff I am on, only shows a single figure which bears no resemblance to the actual peak and off peak unit rate charges on my tariff

On that same Edit page, does it show you the option to select this : 



If not, could it be that you have entered the wrong tariff name and have entered one that only offers a single rate tariff?

No, I don't get that option .. have even tried changing E-on Next tariff to check, and I still don't get that option, though I was given that option a while ago.

According to  the E-on website, I am on E-on Next Fixed 12m v28 with rates as below

Day rate                 28.61 p/kWh (27.251 ex. vat)

Night rate               10.70 p/kWh (10.190 ex. vat)

Standing charge     51.26 p/day  (48.819 ex.vat)

The calculator in the Cheap Energy Club for this specific tariff only gives a single Unit rate at 22.41p per kWh with a Standing charge of 50.84p per day, so maybe its the data entered for the tariff in Cheap Energy Club that's incorrect?

So my tariff is dual rate, but the Cheap Energy Club only picks it up as single rate :-(

Due to this, the output from the calculator is very misleading

tamste

Anybody there?

Many (most but not all) tariffs have both single-rate and Economy 7 versions. You might be on the E7 version of "Super Duper Tariff v25.2" but there will also be a single-rate tariff with exactly the same name.

On mobile, I can't find a way to tell the Cheap Energy Club to give me E7 tariffs instead of single rate ones. I'm not offered the button that lohr500 has highlighted above.

It might be different on desktop but I'm not able to check that tonight.

I'm on a desktop. 
It used to give me the option of ticking for TOU tariff, but no longer.
Was starting to think it was me

The TOU tick box is back 

Looks like my current supplier. e-on doesn't seem to do E7 tariffs anymore as it doesn't show in any of the price comparison results?
