Sorry I blinked first. B-)

a 3-level overnight (8.58p), off-peak (12.5p), peak (31.58p) tariff if
you have a SMETS2 meter.


Hum, that really is starting to make finding the "best deal" rather
more complicated. You need to know your useage profile in relation to
when those rates apply, which gets even more complicated if the time
periods for each rate vary.


Bulb seem to offer that only to people with a /compatible/ SMETS2 meter,
and most aren't - not even ones they've been fitting! And the rates vary
around the country. See

https://bulb.co.uk/smart/

I might be interested as we are retired and most of our consumption
currently is outside the peak. But that may change when we drop gas
cooking. And then there's finding our SMETS2 meter is compatible.
Unclear if Bulb will say before one joins them.
