1. A Standard (24Hr) meter has a single tariff rate for electricity usage at all times. Meter Type MCC01.
2. A Nightsaver (Day/Night) meter has two different rates for day and night usage. Customers on a Nightsaver tariff are charged a lower rate for electricity used at night. Meter type MCC02.
3. A Smart meter allows for flexible pricing and rates based on time of use. Users may be able to save by shifting usage to times when electricity is cheaper. Meter types MCC12 and MCC16.
