This is getting ridiculous (energy prices - Strictly NO referrals!)

Yeesh, save yourself a bundle and get a heated underblanket for bed, and heated throw for the sofa, saved us a butt-tonne in gas costs over winter.1 bed flat 1 adult no cats £124 last month on electric (no gas)

We've just about turned the heating off, this winter it's cost us about £320 to heat the house which is not too bad since it was on 24/7 at 21c for all rooms since October. My electric has been averaging around £85 a month regardless of winter or summer but I have several computers/servers on 24/7 and work from home with a works and personal machine on, dehumidifier running to keep downstairs to 60% etc

Just received an email from Octopus to say they're sending me a Home Mini and it should be here in the next week or so.

I thought the energy price cap went down this month, how come my bill increased by £35! Literally day light robbery these thieving ****'s
Use more you'll pay more.

Just switched to octopus from scottishpower, using a referral link from a family member, so should hopefully be able to go agile or tracker. We shall see. ScottishPower put the service charge up to 68p/day vs Octopus at 65p which tbh is already insanely high. Based on these costs my bill will be as much per month in summer as it was in winter 2 years ago!

10.97p electric tomorrow on tracker, time to get a wash in!
If you use power between 4-7pm tracker will probablybe better otherwise agile will win.

Switched a week ago and applied to go onto Tracker the same day, still waiting

We’ve got one half an hour as low as -9.24p/kWh today, with a 5-hour window averaging -5.30p/kWh.
Of course I charged the car yesterday

yes, but SC keeps going up adding to it
It's been negative or 0 for a while now, no chance of using it all. Especially the afternoon slots if it's sunny with solar.We’ve got one half an hour as low as -9.24p/kWh today, with a 5-hour window averaging -5.30p/kWh.

It's maybe not that simple. Octopus Compare is showing that Agile has been cheaper for me so far this year, and that's without load shifting.
I switched to Agile from Tracker yesterday as I can easily shift my EV charging to midnight onwards, making the savings even larger.
Agile peak pricing has dropped to an average of maybe 25-30p per kWh lately, which really dampens the tariff's traditional drawback.
