If your tariff varies after a set amount of use, your OWL allows you to set up a BLOCK amount of usage at one rate for a 3 month period, then switch to another rate for all usage after that amount has been used.
If yu set the BLOCK tariff to a start at a particular time of the day, then this amount will be applied from that start time each day becoming a third TIMED tariff in conjunction with Tariff 1 and Tariff 2 above.
Many electricity suppliers charge a BLOCK tariff where one amount is charged for the first amount of electricity
used in the quarter, thereafter there is a lower amount charged.
