Energy Prices (Strictly NO referrals!)

1 bed flat 1 adult no cats £124 last month on electric (no gas)
Barely need heating on at the moment that'll halve the bills

If you had cats you could share the warmth.

To be fair, that’s not totally horrendous given it’s all electric and I assume, direct electric heat (no heat pump).

We've just about turned the heating off, this winter it's cost us about £320 to heat the house which is not too bad since it was on 24/7 at 21c for all rooms since October. My electric has been averaging around £85 a month regardless of winter or summer but I have several computers/servers on 24/7 and work from home with a works and personal machine on, dehumidifier running to keep downstairs to 60% etc

We had a winter

Just received an email from Octopus to say they're sending me a Home Mini and it should be here in the next week or so.

I thought the energy price cap went down this month, how come my bill increased by £35! Literally day light robbery these thieving ****'s

Cheapest I've ever seen it on agile tomorrow, dropping to negative 8.82p/kwh in the afternoon here.

Just switched to octopus from scottishpower, using a referral link from a family member, so should hopefully be able to go agile or tracker. We shall see. ScottishPower put the service charge up to 68p/day vs Octopus at 65p which tbh is already insanely high. Based on these costs my bill will be as much per month in summer as it was in winter 2 years ago!

10.97p electric tomorrow on tracker, time to get a wash in!

If you use power between 4-7pm tracker will probablybe better otherwise agile will win.

Switched to octopus

We’ve got one half an hour as low as -9.24p/kWh today, with a 5-hour window averaging -5.30p/kWh.

Of course I charged the car yesterday

yes, but SC keeps going up adding to it

It's been negative or 0 for a while now, no chance of using it all. Especially the afternoon slots if it's sunny with solar.

It's maybe not that simple. Octopus Compare is showing that Agile has been cheaper for me so far this year, and that's without load shifting.

I switched to Agile from Tracker yesterday as I can easily shift my EV charging to midnight onwards, making the savings even larger.

Agile peak pricing has dropped to an average of maybe 25-30p per kWh lately, which really dampens the tariff's traditional drawback.

Quick question, did you do this online?

I have been trying to decide on switching from Go to Agile, when I played with some numbers it was slightly cheaper.
I am still tempted to try it.
