Cheap off-peak....

Beautiful example of the falsity of this.

We used to have a two rate meter, and put washing and dishwasher on timer for night-rate electricity. But the premium they add to the day time cost on that tarrif meant that the extra we were paying for the day time consumption was greater than the saving for the night time. So we went back to single tariff.i.e. You can only get cheap off peak electricity, which would be to everyone's advantage, if you pay significantly more for routine day time use, so there's no incentive.
