I'm in Jersey
E20 gives 20 hours a day of 'cheaper' power for your heating power only (separate consumer unit and meter tails). The rest of the usage is at a different 'standard rate'.
I am currently on 'Comfort Heat' tariff, which is equivalent to Economy 8 I think? I get 8 hours of heating only power via a separate cu and meter tails. This is broken up into 4 night hours, 2 day hours and 2 evening hours. The rest of the house gets a day rate, and a lower night rate.
I could switch to Economy 20 if I wanted, with no wiring changes.
Yes we are connected primarily to the French power grid, but have local backup generators (2 gas turbines for fast starting, powering hospital, police, and the electricity companies data centre), and then an oil fired power station that can power the whole island (40,000 households).
We currently have 1 under-sea cable to France as the second one failed last year. The replacement has been laid under the sea, and was dragged on shore in Jersey a few weeks back and is now being ducted through roads to the new sub-station.
I hope that was insightful
