No. That was only ever a small part of the SC and by this time almost gone.

Standing charge on GO up to 65p it was 25p 20months ago!
My yearly bill goes up even with the day rate dropping.

You need to go Octopus > Tracker

If the SC carries on going up I might have to change, don't think I'd save as it stands, I only use 2 units @ 9p a day on the cheap rate, nothing on the standard rate.

I think without a political intervention its going to keep going the way it is, Ofgem have lost it, I think they just see it as an easy fix for lots of stuff.
Yup like others below, got an email saying octopus go was significantly reducing...
Well it's not. The overnight rate is the same and they've whacked the standing charge up by 12p which means by bill is due to go up by £12 a year. Go figure

The SC was/is like 1% profit so unless that has changed then its not where the money is going.

SC gone from 52p to 60p. I don’t know how they justify that sort of increase.
The daily rate has decreased but I do not use it, having significant battery and solar power.

How long does it take to change suppliers these days? My cheap fix with EDF is up at the end of the month so will be moving but don't want to jump too soon!

I believe you can initiate the change in the last 30 days of the fix; so now. It usually takes several weeks for the change of supplier to complete.

I'm the same. Had my email last night. I read through it getting all excited....
SC UP from 47.954p to 61.268p so a £48.62 annual increase.
Day rate - never use it - down from 30.6p to 27.3p
Night rate - 99% of my usage - Same price 7.5p
Somehow they have calculated i'm now £16 annually better off.
I got the same although my SC has gone from 43p to 47.8p.
Not sure what’s going on with my account though, they have put a charge on my account for £145 for electric in Feb which is far bigger than what I’d normally pay. I’ve not had my bill yet either.
I had a 10kw solar array and 13kwh battery installed in January. I had some teething issues so wasn’t fully up and running until into Feb. In any case, my bill should be a lot lower!
I used around ~500kwh according to my usage tab and it would have mostly been at 7.5p so the charge they have made is about 2.5 what it should be.

I don't know how tracker will help here probably have the same SC increases, more or less.

I shall respond in the same manner of the responses I received circa 6-12 months ago when I started complaining about the SC increases/problem - Suck it buttercup.
NOW the SC is a problem??... Oh the schadenfraude
