For those on Octopus without a EV, Agile might be worth considering.
So SVR goes up in October, then again in December, and After in April.
The new electric Ofgem rate is 41.88p unit in October (with regional variances not taken into account). Dont know the new SC rate.
Current unit rate is just under 28p and 45p SC day
Agile is capped to 35p unit, fixed for 12 months and has only a 21p day SC. You may also get cheaper electric outside of peak hours but of course this isnt assured.
Here is recent tracker data. Not great but during spring it was temporarily better, so it is best to assume you paying 35p unit all the time.

I calculated for my usage, half of the higher cost before October is wiped out by the lower SC, but then for the 9 months after I will be better off, so this is much better than the current fixed deals that Octopus currently offer.
Post from here from a Octopus rep stating its for 12m.
I have just asked them about the above cap being changed for existing Agile customers, will post when I get a reply.

I am assuming prices arent going down again any time soon, so for those who think they wont go up again in December it might not be for you, but thought I would post as its considerably better than the fixed deals been offered.
