They do an Eco 7 one, but I think you'll likely start off life on the Flexible one which is just SVR, once switch completes you can move to other options.
Stuff like Agile, Tracker etc are possible, but depends on your appetite for risk. Without solar/EV I don't think there are currently any no-brainer tariffs.
I'm on gas tracker but there is definite potential for it to go above the SVR pricing in deepest darkest winter, so I'm playing the wait and see game on how that goes.
Ultimately kind of winds up being how well you can load-shift if needed, it might be that the Eco 7 they do works well for you if you can shift enough of your load to overnight.
They do a fixed set as well but same as other suppliers will probably have exit fees and be a similar price. Octopus is just better as they actually seem to have decent support and a lot of good smart tariff options.
The octopus eco 7 day rate is higher than svr at 36p, unless most of your use is in the off peak hours it will be more expensive than their standard flexible.
I’ve done this, switched to octopus flexible. With all the weirdness going on at the moment (Armenia war etc) I can’t be bothered with constantly checking prices, I’ll check again at the start of the new year!Yeh I was thinking ‘Octopus Flexible’ to get through the winter, then have another look in March
It'll go up by about 3.5%... hardly shooting up. Best bet is probably jumping on gas tracker in March timeexpectation is they shoot up again in January.
I'm already on gas tracker and you can't go on it again too quickly I don't think. So I'm thinking fix now and I've had my upside....It'll go up by about 3.5%... hardly shooting up. Best bet is probably jumping on gas tracker in March time
May as well stay on tracker then and only leave if it gets pricey. End of the day the rises and falls.being talked about on the svr are very small.I'm already on gas tracker and you can't go on it again too quickly I don't think. So I'm thinking fix now and I've had my upside....
2 weeks to switch and can't return in 9 months... tricky. If I come off now I can go back on in June, which may work out well...May as well stay on tracker then and only leave if it gets pricey. End of the day the rises and falls.being talked about on the svr are very small.
Well if you want certainty then drop to the svr. Fwiw mine is dropping to 6.85p on Oct 1st, it's still a fair bit more than tracker.2 weeks to switch and can't return in 9 months... tricky. If I come off now I can go back on in June, which may work out well...
yep looks like something went up even if prices came down .. might be the standing charge £3.5 before you get out of bed on electric a week .. all these guys need reeling in ..Is energy with octopus going up or something ? I'm a single person who uses next to no energy.. used same as last 2 months pretty much. However it's costing me more..
Yet I had an email from octopus earlier this month stating that they have lowered prices ?
Octopus aren't increasing standing charges and unit rates have been lowered.yep looks like something went up even if prices came down .. might be the standing charge £3.5 before you get out of bed on electric a week .. all these guys need reeling in ..
then why the increase ?? for the same usage ?? starting to regret having the smart meter put inOctopus aren't increasing standing charges and unit rates have been lowered.

if your smart meter is reading incorrectly that needs sorting..... but having a smart meter increases options to you to save money not the other way around ... unless of course your old meter was broken and under recording (which isn't as far fetched as you may think )then why the increase ?? for the same usage ?? starting to regret having the smart meter put in![]()

Aye it may be 35% cheaper on Tracker atm but I am using 30 pence worth a day... come winter I'll be using a bucket moreWell if you want certainty then drop to the svr. Fwiw mine is dropping to 6.85p on Oct 1st, it's still a fair bit more than tracker.
