Distribution use of system charges

Also known as: DUoS

Distribution use of system charges are what a site pays its regional distribution network operator for using the local network. For half-hourly settled sites in Great Britain the unit rates vary by time band, and the early-evening Red band typically costs several times the overnight Green rate, which is a large part of why moving depot charging overnight saves money.
