Influence of the energy meter on the electricity price
The electricity price per kWh depends on the type of meter you have. There are three electricity tariffs and meters:
- Single-rate meter: the price per kWh of a single-rate meter is always the same, regardless of the time of day
- Dual-rate meter: the price per kWh of a dual-rate meter can differ for peak and off-peak hours, usually lower during off-peak
- Exclusive night meter: an electricity rate only used during off-peak hours
The day-and-night rate and the night-only rate are disappearing with the arrival of the capacity tariff in Flanders. From 2023, network operators no longer distinguish between peak and off-peak hours in the distribution tariff — though energy suppliers can still set different per-kWh prices.
