Peak and off-peak hours: here is the contract that allows you to benefit from cheap electricity
The peak/off-peak hours option to benefit from cheaper electricity
In France, many electricity suppliers offer the peak/off-peak hours option in accordance with the rules imposed by RTG and Enedis, network managers. This system is a tariff formula which allows you to pay less for energy to certain hours of the day. This option is offered to you in the electricity contract and has 8 hours of off-peak hours distributed between 12 p.m. and 5 p.m. and between 8 p.m. and 8 a.m., as well as 4 p.m. peak hours. But another supplier intends to make the difference by offering a new formula ofpeak and off-peak hours with additional off-peak hours.

Ohm offers different electricity offers like Ultra-eco which allow households to amortize their electrical energy consumption. In France, this supplier ranks among the cheapest with its competitive rates and cost-saving options. In addition, the company has a green energy short circuit and solar hours favoring local production.
The advantages of the new peak/off-peak hours system proposed by OHM
Concretely, this new system allows you to benefit from cheaper electricity rates for 13 hours, that is to say from 11 p.m. to 7 a.m., then from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Furthermore, even the prices for peak hours in this new formula are also competitive compared to the regulated rate, reports The Internet user. It is about Moduloan option found in the contract marketed by the supplier Ohm.
How does this new Ohl formula look?
The offer Modulo comes in two forms:

- And from April 1 to October 31, households will be entitled to five additional hours of off-peak hours from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m., also called solar hours.
Since October 1, Ohm has promised its consumers approximately 50% savings with competitive ratesnotably less 20% on current off-peak prices and less 10% on peak prices throughout the year. A real boon for the wallet.
The impact of this option on the new tax scheduled for February 1
While it is true that this option displays prix fixes for one year, it is necessary to point out that these advantageous prices only apply to the KwH of electricity. On the other hand, the subscription to this contract does not exempt you from the tax increase scheduled for February 1. Therefore, your facture will experience a slight increase especially during peak hours than during off-peak hours. Chloé Servigne, electrical editor at Selectra, would like to point out that despite everything, this is an interesting offer.
