with octopus app will it show what last months specific hourly energy use would have cost on different tarifs - to see where singularity is.

Rumours of an emergency saving session tomorrow evening. No wind for at least the next 2 weeks, sounds like a 'perfect storm' with the cold weather (or bad contingency planning if you are glass half empty)

I was hoping my mum would be able to get it as she's been struggling too, but nope not in the north part of the region just the south..
Thats an interesting map. Where did you get it, maybe its just the postcodes plotted (they arent secret)
But its as expected. Its where the offshore comes onshore, sizewell, and a few large solar farms, plus the grid infra getting out of the region.
TBH I predicted today and the next few based on temps and wind, however today we got a power up as there was excess production (around mid day) so I am not so sure now.

Bad policy for 30+ years.
The agile peak is 65p today and looks the same or higher tomorrow. Luckily we still had 5 or 6 hours under 19p overnight.

1150 of gas for November? Almost identical to mine.
If it stays cold that will treble in December.

The Agile prices today and tomorrow are brutal. Just had a look at the Agile prices from last December to give me an idea of what might be instore for us and I am having a panic attack!
If this year is like last year then we will have prices like the last couple of days all the way through to January. Last winter Agile was spiking to above 80p a kWh on some days.
I will definitely be looking at other tariffs although I am not sure which one. The Octopus app I have said that yesterday I would have saved 30% if I was on GO!
Edit. I took a deep breath and calmed down! Looking at what other tariff's are available, Agile even at the current price's is not too bad so long as we don't have to many days like tomorrow. I will be keeping a very close eye on the prices though.

Likewise I think now might be the time to jump back to the SVR.
Gas prices were much higher last winter but go or even flux look better at the moment.

If its as cold as November year it will! Away for a week at Christmas though. Which should help!
Nov:
Elec - 88 kWh
Gas - 344 kWh (31m³)
Now let's see how we do for the 3 traditionally coldest months of Dec-Feb
-4oC this morning

Just looked at our energy account on Octopus and we used just under 1MW in Nov....
On Mon 27th the daily usage was 52Kwh
I accept it's going to be higher than avg as we have two people in the house and two people living in a static caravan and a farm yard, but the yard is mostly just lights, so I've no idea where 52KW went, FML....
