Well I cannot change supplier here, and that is because I get a good billing
system for blind people, but when I enquired about tariffs they told me
there are no more cheap ones than their standard e7 variable, which they say
does vary, well a clue is in the name I guess, and the others come back as
more costly but are preserved at 2 and three years respectively. This seems
to me like you are being asked to gamble, IE if you look recent performance
of the standard e7 variable and the current other products they are not much
different, but if prices rise generally you may find the more expensive
option is cheaper for the next couple of years.
My Smart meter arrives tomorrow, I wonder what the next cock up will be?

Spain is not often noted for leading the way but their new pricing for
electricity, which has three price periods per 24 hrs, and includes
weekends, seems better than the UK's E7 system.

This along with proposed surge pricing (for periods of high demand which
could have had user agreed load shedding) was the great opportunity that the
UK government managed to waste with the superfluous (and entirely passive)
smart meters.

The irony is that Spain started this to lay the way for electric car
charging overnight but if take-up is big, then the high power cars will suck
up might make usage overnight a high price rate period! Not many people will
want to drive at night and charge during the day to save money!
