Energy Prices (Strictly NO referrals!)

Only 85p here. Plenty of 16-17p overnight to charge the battery though. Whilst not super cheap agile is all about averages, it's been like this for days now though. Highlights just what happens when the wind doesn't blow.
 
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 :D

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 :D
 
In north east on tracker will need keep a close eye on it

My daughter has just moved into a flat. What are your recommendations for gas and electric suppliers? She wants to keep the top up meter for electric as she isnt a big consumer of both really.

Generally speaking Octopus gets most positive outlook compared to other providers. Although they are just as bad as each other when it comes down to it. Just some are less bad :cry:

We need some wind to bring the price down. Maybe they will change the formula again come Feb when most of use are due to renew

For myself at least with current tracker pricing the standing charge is around 17p cheaper on tracker compared to fixed.
Unit rate is around 4p cheaper on fixed (compared to tomorrows high)
My average usage is 4wk per day or under (mostly under) so that's like 16p

Works out very similar overall for now
