Thought this was worth bring to people's attention.
Since the clocks changed for summer you've been paying too much for electricity.
How?
We're one one of these dumb plans from Electric Ireland. We have the Night Boost one. Units are one price during the day, cheaper from 11pm - 7am and cheaper still from 2am - 4am.
We have things set to charge from 2 - 4 am but noticed that we were using power from 1am - 3am. Hence being charged at a more expensive rate from 1 - 2am.
Turns out that the smart meters aren't that smart and in the Summer time all the times stay the same while the clocks change. So if you're doing this shit, your 2-4am cheapest time is now 3am - 5am.
My wife found some info buried on their website that dates back to 2014. I just tried to find it, couldn't.
