90p/kWh on Agile tomorrow evening. Ouch
Yup 27.88p per kWh tomorrow on the tracker.
Highest I've ever seen it since I signed on it.

Its about 80p here, might be a bit higher, but the rate the rest of the day isnt particularly bad which is more important to me.
I have noticed since they added that energy forecast which I think is a forecaster based on available renewables, its still quite often red, which suggests we having a lot of lack of wind problems.
The other observation with agile is those 3 peak hours seem to have a life of their own, I have seen days of negative pricing for over 12 hours, and those hours might still be more than 40p. So my tariff wont be decided by the peak hours even at 90p cost. Its the other 21 hours that matter to me. The dashed average line on my graph looks like its in high 20s.

I'm battling Agile without solar or battery
My average over the last 180 days shows 25% saved (vs the 25.39p/kWh SVR), or an average unit rate of 16.74p/kWh. I think that's probably only due to charging the car like mad during negative periods etc. The last two weeks show only 4% saved or a 24.28p/kWh unit rate, which definitely shows up the higher prices due to lack of wind and solar, plus the fact I've only put charge in the car once. It's quite difficult to work out exactly which would be the best tariff, as comparing energy usage on Agile vs GO vs SVR would all yield different behaviours to take advantage. I've tried to get it in a spreadsheet though:
Based on 3000kWh of day-time usage, and 1650kWh needed for car charging in the night rate, I'm showing I'd be £182/year better off on GO vs the Agile pricing I've managed over the last two weeks, but £168/year worse off if I use the 180 day average. That is of course before any load-shifting to take advantage of GO which could sway things more favourably to GO in general, and before I factor in soon not having a gaming PC pulling a few hundreds watts for hours each day
