We've spotted a fresh energy option from E.ON Next that could help some households cut costs by moving everyday tasks like washing and cooking to cheaper times.
The new two-year Next Smart Saver tariff locks in off-peak and super off-peak electricity rates until 2028, while still letting you leave penalty-free if things change. It's aimed at smart meter users who can shift usage outside the 4pm-7pm peak window.
Steve Davies, Director of Strategy and Commercial at E.ON Next, said: "During the summer months, longer daylight hours often mean people are awake and active at home later, creating more opportunities to shift electricity use into lower-cost off-peak periods.
"Customers on Next Smart Saver have already collectively saved £2.3 million by moving electricity use away from peak times, and our new two-year tariff gives households the certainty of fixed off-peak rates until 2028."
Who might benefit?
- People with a working smart meter who consent to half-hourly data sharing
- Households happy to run appliances between 5am-4pm or 7pm-2am (off-peak) or 2am-5am (super off-peak)
