that link is interesting but i dont think it works for me....... i am on intelligent octopus and it thinks my average kwh cost is quite high. does it support intelligent octopus when it gives out of normal tarif shedules or does it just assume 28p or what ever 5:30-23:30 and 7.5p 23:30-5:30?Agile is all about when.
If your a heavy user in 4-7pm then no
If you can avoid most usage at that time then quite possibly a good move
Are you an octopus customer, if so check out
You can look at history and compare your consumption (very top left)
Date | Consumption (kWh) | Your tariff average (p) | Agile average (p) | Your tariff cost (£) | Agile cost (£) |
---|---|---|---|---|---|

for instance in january here is a very obvious one. With that high use it would have involved me charging my car.......... which means the lions share of that would have been at 7.5pkwh. there is no way it would have cost me £11.84

Did you find a source for the claim that you are funding the infrastructure yet?

You talking about this octopus compare or something else?So the octopus compare tool is crap and doesn't remember your usage profile across the day to accurately tell you what cost with other tarifs would have been
- like I'd suggested
I wouldn't say crap.... just not intelligent enough to deal with intelligent octopus.So the octopus compare tool is crap and doesn't remember your usage profile across the day to accurately tell you what cost with other tarifs would have been

yes that one ..You talking about this octopus compare or something else?

Because this idea that you are subsidising the south seems to have no basis in fact. So I just asked for you to back it up. Fact is the supply infrastructure in regions is not the same and that is the point, you actually seem to be asking for other reasons to subsidise your higher costs rather than the other way round.Did I say that? Cant seem to remember saying that. I'm sure you can help me out there but its funny... In my head I put money on it being you that brings my "subsidising" post up so you didnt disappoint.
EDIT - What I may have said is that certain regions pay more than others and that these regions also produce the bulk of the electric for the lower SC paying regions who use it. If you can point to the bit that's incorrect there, I am all ears

so which was better for you across previous months tracker or agile - my calculation has tracker, by some 20%, w/o considering common standing charge,In the Octopus Compare app it does as you asked, it calcs the price per half hour as you would have consumed it on either tariff (you can add intelligent go, flux etc) for each day. For weekly/monthly it adds those individual days together to produce your weekly/monthly comparison price. It is accurate
