Tracker is a daily price, agile is priced per 30 minute slot.What are the main difference between tracker and agile? I've been on the tracker for a while now and saved a good amount of money because of it.
Tracker doesn't seem worth it.
Agile does.
If I wasn't going to agile I think I'd just get a fix. I doubt the tracker savings/costs are worth bothering with now
Your too late to the party. As said cap will be close to tracker when there are no big movements in the prices.
It has been significantly cheap most of the time since the prices started to fall.
I wouldn't go on agile personally without some way to mitigate the high peak time costs.
Of course mitigation could include not using much then.
Unless it suddenly changes there are blocks of time significantly less than cap at the moment.
Sometimes down to sub 5p.
With a 10kwh electric shower, tumble dryer, dishwasher and washing machine all being flexible.. It looked like it would work.
Drying clothes in winter without the tumble is really hard with our horrible mild+wet winters.
Yeah I noticed that. Usually walk the dog at 1730 so have this gap in consumption between 1700 and 1830.I know I literally just came off it
But you can go days with the price above cap as well.
I'm not saying its bad, because its not.
But it can require quite a lot of flexibility.
Eg its regularly into the 40p range for part of 4-7pm.

It may end up not being worth it. But it's worth trying. Especially for the shower. That's a right power hog!
Just be weary that you'll need to load shift the shower, the typical morning period is about touching the tracker/svr prices. It's really depends on your usage curves etc if you can make a success of it.
This is my typical usage on a normal (expensive) agile day, as you can see its fairly flat - we just avoid using anything power intensive during 4-7pm. Dishwasher/Washing gets done either over night before bed or during the day when typically if there is cheap electric it'll be 11am-4pm. It's fairly flat due to my servers etc being on all the time. Of course when its cheap or free then its all you can eat/waste power . We have gas heating and gas hob though so that makes it much easier to manage relating to cooking and dinner.
Yeah I'm aware. As WFH can easily move things like showers and washing machine, tumble and dishwasher.
They all have delay timers. So can just set them up in evening/morning for when to start.
I will forbid the gf from showing at peak time
You didn't says showers, you said showing...She takes long showers... Pay up!
10kw for half an hour is like a quid!

Is she running a side business to help pay the winter fuel bills?
What area is this for? The prices shown are radically more expensive than what I’ve been paying in the Southern Scotland region where it’s been rare I’ve paid over 20p/kwh

I’m on Agile and with quite little effort I’m managing a <15p unit rate averaged each month. We even still run the oven during peak time.Your too late to the party. As said cap will be close to tracker when there are no big movements in the prices.
