Tariffs
Economy 10:
Economy 10 is designed for homes with an electric boiler and gives 10 hours of off-peak electricity per day charged at half price. The tariff applies to all the electricity use in your home so that all consumption during Off Peak times is charged at Off Peak rate.
Economy 10 is provided by Scottish Hydro Electric in Scotland. We provide assistance in changing over so that the process is quick and easy.
Changing over to Economy 10 takes approximately 6 weeks from the application being received by Scottish Hydro Electric. The 10 hours of Off Peak are split into three periods as below:
4:30am to 7:30am
1:00pm to 4:00pm
8:30pm to 10:30 pm
Your heating can be used at any time, but we advise using other loads during these times to reduce your electricity bill eg washing machine, tumble dryer, dishwasher etc If you would like any further information on this tariff click on the Contact Us page.
Economy 2000:
Economy 2000 is available from Scottish Power and works by giving you 18 hours of off-peak electricity per day charged at low rate. Economy 2000 is only designed for storage boilers eg Thermaflow, DualHeat etc.
The low rate electricity only applies to the storage boiler and does not affect any other loads. It is important that this tariff is only used with storage boilers otherwise the heating will not be available during off peak times.
