As an aside, can someone ping when I should fix my gas
I assume gas tracker till early winter/late autumn - but you can't sign up again for 9 months(?) So I assume there is some advanced maths to rinse it periodically
Plunge pricing tomorrow folks. 10.5 hours in fact. Going to be charging the EV and have every light in the house on!
You're never going to save loads with only 1200 kWh elec usage per year.
That's 3.28 kWh per day on average, you must not use much electric stuff at all.
My June usage was 76kWh so 2.53kWh/day and the same for May.
EonNext is offering a "loyalty" plan fixed for 12 months (all including VAT below:
Current:
Elec: 33.76p/kWh, 52.12p SC
Gas: 10.56p/kWh, 24.23p SC
Loyalty:
Elec: 30.83/kWh, 58.42p SC
Gas: 7.71p/kWh, 27.22p SC
Not sure whether to take it. It's cheaper than the SVR which I will go onto in August but unaware is EPG is still in place from August and are prices likely to fall over the period?
My spreadsheet says I'll save £13/month on the fix so about 16% saving
Defaulting onto SVR will be £5/month more than the new fix (still £10/month less than current)
I still hate that proportionally obscene SCs I have to pay.
I feel the same, don't see its right to be charged more per month on the SC than you use in actual electricity!.
My actual electric use cost per month is just under £5, yet my SC per month is just under £15, (42p per day)
looks like it will be going up to 60p per day come renewal (September)
Do your water rates follow the tracker too?Had a nice long shower last night on tracker with unit price of 0.08p/kwh
Funnily this was sorted by the end of the day without a call, maybe they're monitoring usmine was done before 7th july as per their email. give them a call, they pretty good at sorted things while you talk to them
What are people's thoughts on the current Octopus gas tracker capped at 30p/kWh? I'm currently on it capped at 16p, and while (IIRC) it hasn't hit the cap since I've been on it, potentially looking at £500/month of gas if it DOES hit the 30p cap next winter.
I realise this is very much "pull out your crystal ball", but what are the chances of prices reaching that point for any significant period in the next 12 months?

Are you locked into it? I had the same thought with Agile and electricity, the cap there being £1/kWh. I'm not locked into it though, if it ever spikes and holds I'll just jump ship to a normal tariff.
