Hi,
Read this on the Martin Lewis site today, so does this applies to EV tariffs that usually have a higher day rate? I understand EV tariffs are a specialist offering by the energy supplier and possibly outside the revised regulations, but must be worth making a few enquiries.
How is the EPG guidance changing?
Currently, providers have the flexibility to decide how to apply the EPG discount to the day and night rates under an Economy 7 tariff, but from April, they'll be expected to apply it equally to both rates – meaning, where possible, both the day and night rates will get the full 16.6 pence per kilowatt hour discount.
In March, Martin raised this issue with Energy Secretary Grant Shapps on his ITV1 show, who promised to look into the impact of the Energy Price Cap and EPG on Economy 7 users to ensure it's fairer. Now the Government has confirmed the changes.
