then the demand area should be footing more of the bill for that investment.... Anyways, this argument has been done to death on here so I will just leave it at that

And they are as you know, because the argument has been done to death as you say.

What you want is local costs fixed equally across the country though, not nationwide distribution. You want people in the south east mainly to subsidise the high costs of rural supply.

Perhaps it could be agreed if the rural NIMBYs all back off and let the infrastructure get built.

Octopus emailed to say dropping electricity rates quite significantly both in day and overnight rate down to 7p on intelligent go.

Octopus GO rates from July.

"The key things you should know are: From July 1 2024 your off-peak rate will fall to 8.5p/kWh, and you’ll gain an extra off-peak hour between 04:30 and 05:30am."

That’s a nice bonus for GO.

7p overnight, between 23p and 25p day rate and standing charge between 50p and 65p depending on the region it seems.

 

[Welshman]

That’s a nice bonus for GO.

that standard charge is a p**s take though

 

[Troop]

The extra hour on GO is a very welcome surprise.

Standing charges are what kills me, out of that 300, 240 are standing charges!.


@Kill_Phil
Sorry can't help on Intelligent GO as the email only shows my new tariff rates.

Octopus Intelligent offpeak rate reducing to 7p kWh

What hours is the off peak?

 

[SDK^]

What hours is the off peak?

Intelligent official Offpeak is 23:30 to 05:30
But with intelligent, you often get more offpeak time, if you need to charge your EV outside of this. I've had offpeak starting from 22:30 and finishing at 08:30.

Regular Octopus Go isn’t competitive with Eon for most people, not sure why more people don’t move over to them.

Good news on the IOG though, it still needs an extra hour IMO to take on Eon.

Cause eon are generally terrible to deal with

 

[bigmike20vt]

that standard charge is a p**s take though

its a post code lottery, my SC is "only" 48p

happy with the price cut obviously but still waiting for the other shoe to drop on the 15p export. i would not be surprised if that is cut to 10p.

price wise EON are offering some good prices however personally i like Octopus as they seem to constantly be the ones leading the way on the novel tariffs where as the others are just playing catch up.

Customer service.

 

[b0rn2sk8]

all I can say is I was with Eon before I was with Octopus and I had zero issues. Bills were accurate, on time and they direct debit was set at an appropriate level.

Under my current stint with octopus, I’ve had more issues than I have ever had with any other supplier. While they have dealt with it when I have contacted them, I shouldn’t need to contact them to send me a bill or credit me for my export.

 

[john_smith]

It would take a significant financial advantage for me to leave octopus.
