Wow, even at 48.31 ore, that's only $0.04 /kWH. I thought that my electricity was cheap at $0.12 /kWH!God Bless Sweden.
You gotta love these prices "sometimes" Tomorrow is the day to turn on the Crypto Farm.
How much is your gas (if you use gas?)?

How high?

This month.
Actually I got this wrong it's nothing lol
Less than a quid a day in English...more like 80p
We get our hot water bill included in electric "fjärrvärme" district heating network. I've been miss counting that as part of the leccy.
+25% tax on everything too.

We "banked" ours. Upped our direct debit back up to its normal level when the gov help started. Thanks to that and it being summer now, we've already dropped our DD by £50 and have an account balance of over £900 - this means we should be able to drop the DD a little more and still be more than fine over winter.
To be fair, it's been our first year in the house and I was a bit overly cautious with our estimated usage when I set the original DD.

£449 once you get through to the site. Pricing error, now corrected perhaps.
Same internals / design as my Candy one - which has worked well over the winter and was incredibly energy efficient.

I am.
Agile has been cheaper than Tracker for me since Tracker applications reopened. So I've stayed put. Will likely jump ship at the end of the month though as Tracker is cheaper at higher wholesale prices.

I'm looking at switching to Octopus, anyone know how long it takes to be eligible for tariffs other than Flexible?
The signup quote page only offers me FlexibleOctopus, though their tariffs page showing various others available, so presumably need to have been existing customer for some time. Also anyone have a referral handy they'd be willing to share/PM, be much appreciated.

Ah yes, had my water bill recently I don't use much £135 and nearly half that was standing charge. Despite that the water company had to impose hosepipe bans in june that were only recently lifted because entire areas were unable to receive water entirely

Do you have a smart meter? I think the smart tariffs don't show unless you do have one.
Sent you a referral link if you still need it. Once you have a smart meter you can switch between tariffs.

Thanks guys.
I do have smart meters installed, and they are both smets2. I'll check again closer to/once the switch happens, or perhaps call them tomorrow.
First impressions positive, not actually switched yet, but the Account and dashboard are informative, and are miles ahead of my outgoing supplier (Utility Warehouse).

I've switched within the past month & I can't see an obvious option within my account settings. There's only the option to fix or be on the variable tariff. This link is what you need though I believe.

Yes.
Agile is the better tariff when wholesale prices are low. But if/when rates start to rise, Tracker will fare better. It's down to the formulas used to calculate prices: Agile has a higher price multiplier, Tracker has a higher fixed cost.
Prices don't need to rise much from current levels for Tracker to wind up being substantially cheaper. For example, a wholesale cost of 12p per kWh gives Tracker rates around 22p per kWh (the formula varies by region), and a price of 26.4p on Agile (plus 12p per kWh during peak hours).
