You have to contact Octopus support to request the Agile tariff (requires smart meter). Tracker via this link - https://octopus.energy/smart/tracker/Doesn't give me any options to change to tracker or agile.

Why would your bills go up?. Its giving octopus the same data you would, but digitally rather than waiting for you to give a monthly manual readingDo I go for a smart meter or not ? I'm with octopus , I do manual readings and submit on last day of each month and my direct debit goes in on 1st each month
Some questions simple questions
- is the smart meter going to be a new gen one ? Are there any faults/bugs/etc
- once installed will bills go up or will it not make a difference ..when I login to my octopus account it says "you could pay less".
What's everyone doing with fixed Vs variables at the moment ?

That says "Sign ups to Octopus Tracker are currently closed. We'll be re-opening the tariff in early July."You have to contact Octopus support to request the Agile tariff (requires smart meter). Tracker via this link - https://octopus.energy/smart/tracker/
Well quite. However, I still use it for heating water and today for instance it is 4.39p per unit compared to the SVR of 8p. With no exit fees, if it does go haywire, can also move to SVR, fixed or another supplier.That says "Sign ups to Octopus Tracker are currently closed. We'll be re-opening the tariff in early July."
Not even sure it would be that much cheaper, use so little gas this time of year. Plus it's a volatile tariff.
Well there are some advantages.
You wont have to go to the agro of having to send a monthly reading.
You will get 48 daily readings by default typically available the following day.
So its possible to get some semi granular data that way.
If you want you can request an octopus mini which is almost real time data.
You also open up the possibility for some tariffs that are unavailable for non-smart meters.
They may or may not suit you, but its difficult to be worse off with a smart meter.
The only thing you cannot do is lie about your meter readings when prices change.
I DM's them through twitter and they fixed it within 2-3 hoursBeen moved to tracker for my gas but electricity still showing flexible yet the blurb for both says "Prices follow wholesale costs". Pinged them an email as I definitely requested both to be switched on the form.
Yeah I've just had a reply to say they've both been changed and now both showing tracker prices.I DM's them through twitter and they fixed it within 2-3 hours
Considering the price cap is due to rise slightly in October, do those on Octopus Tracker reckon this winter it will end up being more expensive than the standard tariff? I've just moved to it and prices are virtually half that of the standard tariff at the moment, but I'm not sure it will last come winter.
Problem with SVR is that it's capped at an artificially high price for a long time now. Even if prices on tracker do go up over winter, you'll have saved so much over the rest of the year that it won't matter, unless we have something catastrophic happen again like nuclear war.Where as capped price is highly smoothed over a much longer period.
I have now initiated the switch to the Gas Tracker tariff for you. This will take effect from your next billing cycle.
When is the next billing cycle, a month from now ?
