Energy Prices (Strictly NO referrals!)

Finally had the dreaded octopus email.

Electricity
Unit 50.9
Day 48.29

Gas
Unit 14.63
Day 26.84

A cool £380 a month. Something seems off to me though, the figures above are octopus flexible. I thought it was going to be a bit cheaper than the rates above from what I had seen quoted unit rate elsewhere.

Those look like the October "cap" rates, rather than the govt. supported figures. Octopus flexible is their SVR tariff, so it should be ~34p electric/~10p gas

Yeah. I think/hope they quoted the wrong thing.

"On Flexible Octopus, Your new unit rates will rise to match the Energy Price Guarantee, but your Octopus standing charges will be 4% lower – so you will be saving compared to Energy Price Guarantee rates from October 1st."

That's the one I'm on it seems anyway. Just rates look wrong.
 
Thanks for the link above Haaggisman.

Might just not tell the wife and buy a project car from eBay each month.
While obviously still complaining about energy use round the house.
 
My projection from Bulb, doesn't include the £400 rebate.

They're trying a workaround today to get the new prices put into the system. Couple of updates have failed so far so they are trying a workaround today. Fingers crossed the pricing should be updated by the end of today

Off the back of my statement it seems getting the pricing in is being a complete pig for EonNext at the moment. However they have put something in place so internally we can see what the rates will be for each region for the EPG SVT. They are still working on getting the fixed prices adjusted and the pricing updated

E7 for east midlands looks to be

42.25 day
13.88 night
45.86 sc

E10 for east midlands seems to be

42.25 day
20.34 night
45.86 sc

Had the Octopus email for my Gas.

Standing Chrage - 27.216p to 26.841p
Unit charge - 7.319p to 10.296p (with the new cap but not the £400).

Total cost £578.70 to £772.33, so on gas alone I will be better off than previously.

That all said, I have not heard anything yet regarding Octopus Go for my Electricity - this is something they are currently looking at apparently.

Had the same. Even though my gas should have been switched to Tracker, not sure why it hasn't been.


Nothing in Agile / Tracker yet.
 
Well, just as long as people don't go on about Labours magic money tree ever again...
The Tory cheerleaders love to tell us how much worse things would be if Corbyn's Labour had won in 2019 - but let's be honest, if Corbyn was accumulating even half the cost these policy implementations are racking up then there would be instant panic in every right wing rag in the country, faster than you can say "communism".

Why can't they publish it on their site? If they know the rates but can't get them on the system then no harm letting their customers know what the rates will be.

He could announce a 100k spend on something and the next day would be headlines of corbyn to bankrupt england with his 100k spending spree. :)

On a more serious note, Octopus look like they only going to clarify their position on the tracker tariffs in the last week of September which personally I think is poor going, I would be surprised at this point if they dont know what they going to do there, but seems they want to stage the communication a bit at a time.

They are focusing on trying to get it into the system and get the emails etc out. They provided this summary internally so customer service people can have conversations with people calling but these are only the EPG SVT prices.

They're trying to fix it so it shows for fixed prices too etc
 
My octopus email says

Elec standing: 41.61p
Elec rate: 33.47p

Gas standing: 26.84p
Gas rate: 10.32p


Do they look correct?

Was hoping someone would post the variable rate electric. Using your numbers (as my gas is the same) there isn't anything in it between variable and the Go rate as it stands at the moment, sans electric car.

Also worked out that heating the house will cost an average of £50/month at last years rate. Think I'll try and hold out as long as possible, but will at least be comfortable in the coldest months.

We just noticed that for one of our meters there had been no reading submitted for just over a year, last reading was by provider in Sept 2021.

Anyway went to submit, and oddly the night rate hasn’t moved at all .. exactly the same as the last reading over a year ago which doesn’t really make any sense. Any ideas what could cause this? The day rate has increased normally (although about 3000kWh higher than the estimates)

Are you on an economy 7 tariff, if not the meter was probably changed to single tariff at some point. Usually when a property goes from storage heaters to gas central heating.
