Energy Prices (Strictly NO referrals!)

Will be 26.66p per kWh tomorrow (electric) on the tracker here.

That's the highest I've seen it so far, frustrating it looks like it's going to be heavy overcast tomorrow so solar panels are likely to do jack **** to help that.
 
Anyone actually signed up to a 12 month tarrif at the mo?
I've just had a look as they wanted to up my monthly DD, for as far as I can see, no reason as I would still finish the year in credit, and noticed that a tarrif would only save me £100 a year, not sure if its worth doing that or just staying on the flexible..
 
Checked Octopus again today and they're now saying that the recommend that I pay £274.87 a month, up from £266 something last week...

I wonder how many pay the recommended without thinking about it and that money sits in their pockets...
 
Got a engineer here using a 2000 watt tool, 4pm is looming on Agile lol.

I am considering fixing on gas, I dont mind taking some hits on electric as I like the TOU element on it, but gas tracker doesnt have that.

How do you fix on gas alone? When I go in to my Octopus account I'm only given the option for both gas and electricity. Do you need to contact Octopus?

Will need to ask them to do it, you cant do it automatically, twitter I assume the best way. Also if you on variable DD, I would mention that at same time, to make sure that stays in place on the new tariff.

Changed my mind on it, the offer jumped in price, and taking into account standing charges as well, (my gas usage is bursty so I can go for multiple days with no usage when is just SC, new boiler also has no pilot light when not in use). Will ride out the gas tracker journey.

I also might be on a different formula to the current gas tracker, the rates on agilebuddy for gas tracker are circa 10% higher than my unit rate (is same region, east midlands).

Octopus email me to say they're unilaterally upping my monthly price by £15. I've only been with them about 3 months and I'm £200 in credit. Ridiculous.

Yea, we are about £250 in credit with a £125 direct debit. Last winter we were using about £220 a month. Should be fine.
