Default electricity meters

We have two electricity meters. One for night and one for day.
In the summer the night one can be used between 12 midnight and 9 a.m.
In the winter you can use the night one between 11 p.m. and 8 a.m.
The night meters is much cheaper than the day meter, so we never turn on the dishwasher/washing machine/dryer/etc. until after the allotted time at night. Yes, there is an extra meter rental charge of I think roughly about €10 on your bill, but if you have a large family and use these appliances on a daily basis, it saves a lot.
