What are flexible tariffs?
Flexible tariffs mean your electricity price changes depending on when you use it. For example, it might be cheaper overnight when demand is low, and more expensive during peak evening hours. This encourages you to shift your electricity use to cheaper times, potentially saving you money on your household bills.
