Octopus tracker electricity has been creeping up a little over the last few days. Highest I've seen it, granted I've not been on it as long as some of you
Energy Prices (Strictly NO referrals!)
- Thread starter DXP55
- Start date
Its been very stable this year compared to last but we may see a bit of an increase. Still cheaper than the SVR.

Thought you moved to tracker, or was that just for gas?
Soldato
Only gas, I have solar and battery so my elec is on go
This was news earlier this week - Valid project can be moved up the connections queue to accelerate timescales !

Aye. But weather is good, so low consuming it with tablet and beer in the garden. Heavens forbid if I have to do this tomorrow too!

i just checked after reading this thread. wind generation is really low today!. we desperately need far more interconnects with our European friends, that way we can share our supluses when they are needed elsewhere and vice versa.
we also just need more. more wind, more solar, more hydro, more storage, and yes for now, probably more nuclear.] (but that depends how much spare France has i guess).
so angry at Germany closing down their nuclear tho.... and for what? if they are worried about a disaster, well, fall out does not know any borders so whilst they are burning coal, France on their doorstep have nuclear anyway so if the Germans are right and nuclear is a ticking timebomb................... they are stuffed anyway.

In my experience armchairs are where you find the NG SAP when you're waiting for a RISSP to start your Frame 5 or Olympus as part of an ESR test.

Put in my request to switch from Agile to Tracker today.
Agile was cheaper for me in July, but Tracker has been better in August on all bar two days. The difference is marginal - less than £2 over the past 30 days. But prices have started to tick up, so I reckon the difference will be more pronounced over the next 30 days.
Both are still substantially cheaper than Go (for now).

Exactly, compare it to this time last year and you see it's a heck of a lot better now and projected to be much more stable over winter. As long as it stays under the SVR cap then I'm staying on flex. If it goes crazy like last year, especially over Dec/Jan, then I might need to come off it

Octopus Tracker
Britains' fairest energy tariff, with dynamic daily pricing and 100% renewable electricity.
octopus.energy
Half an hour later, they emailed me to say they've done the switch. Tracker is already showing on my account.
Soldato
If you ever switch from tracker it won't let you back for 9 months apparently
There's always Agile as a back-up option. Or Go. Or Intelligent. Or any number of other tariffs.
For me, Tracker is a hedge against a bad Winter. It may be that there's no real saving to be made vs Agile. But Tracker is unlikely to be more expensive than Agile over Winter. And if things get really bad, there's always the SVR.
Soldato
Yes, I am only on tracker for Gas which doesn't really have any alternatives except fixed or SVR.
Electric you do get more options, though Agile seems riskier currently with the cap being potentially higher at the worst time of the day if you lack solar/battery to counter it.

Got to keep those record profits and huge boss bonuses going.
