AndyT Posted July 4, 2018 Share Posted July 4, 2018 For those who may be trying to load shift their heat pumps to an off-peak tariff and may have not heard about Economy 10, this site might just be the place you want to go to check out just who can supply you and who has the best prices. The site is independantly run by Mark, who was frustrated when he moved into a new house, trying to find out just who did E10 and what prices they sold it for as none of the comparison sites list it. Most areas of the country have E10 times of - 00:00 to 05:00 then 13:00 to 16:00 and 20:00 to 22:00 (10 hours) I have been using this for some time with iSupply energy and currently pay 7.5pkWh off-peak. If i had an ASHP with a Cop of 3 then the running cost would be 2.5pkW thermal - less than 1/2 the cost of gas depending where you get it from. Having 3 periods during the day means that you can charge bi-modally and the thermal store can therefore be 50% smaller than if you were doing it with Economy 7. Just food for thought.

Guest Alphonsox Posted July 4, 2018 Share Posted July 4, 2018 Unfortunately accurate in that it shows no E10 suppliers in Northern Ireland. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeterW Posted July 4, 2018 Share Posted July 4, 2018 I noticed that Ebico has hiked its free overnight tariff standing charge from 55p to £1.23 per day... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteamyTea Posted July 5, 2018 Share Posted July 5, 2018 I thought my E7 meter rental at 23p/day was high, In the last 2 months I have only spent more than that per day on 16 occasions, and that includes taxes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joe90 Posted July 5, 2018 Share Posted July 5, 2018 This is great, thanks. We are not really “on line” yet (still finishing the build but living in it). My main worry was being all electric and having E7 to run the ASHP for DHW and UFH overnight the house would cool in the winter during the day but the E10 would give the UFH a boost later in the day (if required). Just checked and Green Energy do E10 in our district (on this site) and as a current Green Energy customer I have found them very good. Steamy Tea is going to monitor my usage etc and produce me a set of graphs ( that he will understand) to see if it’s worth it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vivienz Posted July 5, 2018 Share Posted July 5, 2018 E10 would also suit us as the late afternoon slot can fit in with using the induction hob and cooking dinner. All subject to price, of course! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
