Frequently asked questions
Why is E.ON Next offering a free electricity use weekend plan?
Our Next Weekend Saver tariff is currently a BETA product and part of a pilot offer. We’re developing Next Weekend Saver to help expand our Time of Use (ToU) tariff offering.
ToU is a type of pricing structure where the price of electricity varies depending on the time of day. Electricity costs less when demand is low and more when demand is high, rewarding those customers who use energy during off-peak (or super off-peak) hours.
We want to make ToU tariffs more accessible and believe many customers could relate to the shifting structure this tariff offers.
What time is free electricity use on the Next Weekend Saver tariff?
The electricity unit rate of 0p/kWh takes effect between 12pm and 4pm on Saturdays and Sundays. However, it’s important to note that the standing charge still applies. Electricity used outside these hours is charged at your applicable tariff rate.
Do I need a smart meter for the Next Weekend Saver tariff?
Yes, to be eligible you need to have a functioning smart meter that can send half-hourly usage data to us.
Interested in getting a smart meter? Book a smart meter appointment, and we can look into available options.
Can I get free weekend electricity use with an electric vehicle (EV)?
Yes, this tariff is available to customers who have an EV charger. You can let us know by filling out the typeform.
Why does my smart meter need to send half-hourly meter readings?
Half-hourly meter readings are important in eliminating estimated billing, unlocking highly accurate ToU tariffs, and reducing energy use waste.
Why does my in-home display not correspond with my tariff?
Due to the way this tariff works, your in-home display will stop working. However, you'll be able to keep up to date with your energy use through the E.ON Next app.
