Fools, I believe. Hope he is happy paying his 30p a unit. Will be getting all my washing and drying and the roast on tomorrow. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll be honest, at first I was dubious about this Tracker tariff but I'm happy to say I was wrong and you were bang on matey 👏👍 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hmmm yeah, sadly there's always a possibility of that these days. However for now I'm just living my best life of low energy prices, steak and lobster dinners with fine wine and French cheese. 👌 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Octopus do a tariff called Agile, it's like ours whereby it tracks the wholesale rate but the price changes half hourly. Sometimes the price goes into negative as you can see. Tomorrow its ridiculously negative and between half 1.and half 3 in the afternoon people will be PAID over 7p for every unit they use. Read stories about people a fortnight ago with a load of oil radiators on in the back garden 😂 On a normal day though it can be quite pricey in the evening (it can go over the cap quite regularly) so unless you can load shift it's not ideal. Quite frankly the price changing every 30 mins would drive me nuts. Be great for shift workers though. Our daily rate is worked out from the average of the hourly rate, hence why it's just under 8p all day tomorrow. On the Agile tomorrow it goes above 20p in the evening.

The_DADDY Posted July 15, 2023 Share Posted July 15, 2023 Cheers for the explanation @HeHasRisen That makes sense. I'll be sticking either my current tariff though, like you say the price changing so frequently would do my head in 🤣 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeHasRisen Posted July 15, 2023 Share Posted July 15, 2023 Now the cap has gone I did see the evening half hourly rate as high as 36p at one point this week. So wouldn't be ideal for me tbh. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
