Can anyone inform me of my off peak hours?
I'm on pre payment meter so I suspect they're little different to a contract, I imagine I am being ripped off by getting less hours or later start timesĀ

Hi
Generally itād be midnight to 7am for Economy 7 in MOST areas of the country, but some regions have different times. I need to know your region and county in order to check that - do NOT post your full address though.
Most meters have a slight offset on top of that by up to 30 minutes to avoid blowing up the National Grid - this offset will still ensure you get full hours at the appropriate times though.

If youāre on a borderline, you may have to use a postcode checker to be sure which side of it you are. Alternatively, find your MPAN on your latest electricity statement. The first two digits of the 11-digit number are those of the region youāre in.
Then find your Economy 7 hours from this table:

These times are GMT, so you may have to adjust them for British Summertime. Some meters will do this automatically, others wonāt.Ā
