How can I check my tariff?
Your tariff is shown on your bill. You can check it on the heading called “Electricity you have used”.
When does the off-peak or night rate start and finish?
It all depends on your area and on your meter. Everyone is given 7 hours at low rate every night between 12.00am and 08.00am.
What are the available options for payment terms?
Each bill must be paid on due date either with cash or cheque. The due date is explicitly shown on the first page. If you have subscribed to a monthly payment by Direct Debit, the sum will be directly collected on your account. Direct Debit paying terms may make you benefit from savings up to 7 %.
What do the different VAT rates shown on the bills mean?
The applicable VAT rate depends on energy and gas consumption. Below 33 units of electricity and 145 kWh of gas per day, the reduced rate of VAT applies. If supplies exceed a daily basis of 33 units and 145 kWh, the standard rate of VAT is billed.
