So we are about one quarter of the way there. The point of smart meters is to encourage consumers to move away from peak demand times and to save money or keep money in their pockets. At the moment, the peak rate is between 5 p.m. and 7 p.m. and the night-time rate begins after 11 p.m.. We are trying to encourage consumers to reduce their energy use at peak times. Did the CRU set those times for the peak and night-time rates?
