FAQ
How does electricity pricing work in United Kingdom?
United Kingdom settles wholesale electricity on the GB Wholesale market, where prices change throughout the day. Many suppliers pass this through as day/night or smart tariffs, so the same kilowatt-hour can cost far more at peak than off-peak.
How much can I save by shifting load to off-peak in United Kingdom?
Typical day/night tariffs in United Kingdom have roughly a 51% gap between peak and off-peak rates. By moving flexible loads — EV charging, hot water, batteries — into the cheapest hours, FYXO customers typically cut 20–40% off those loads.
Is FYXO available in United Kingdom?
Yes — FYXO is live in United Kingdom. You can connect your first asset in about 3 minutes, with no new hardware.
Do I need a smart meter or special tariff in United Kingdom?
Some suppliers (Octopus, OVO) offer direct API access. Otherwise FYXO reads data via the DCC smart meter infrastructure with your consent.
