2.96 Os.

Keeping a close look on tariffs now.

At some point I'll jump off Intelligent Flux. Onto agile maybe. 😬

Well you beat me.

2.38 Os to get the new month going.

Same here @pete-20-11 except I'll be moving to Cosy once the heating goes on. My spreadsheet says IOF is still the tariff for September, and October is the cross over point for us.

Do you know the process for switching away from IOF, and how long it takes for Octopus to release control of the battery?

Not too bad for September 2.67 O's, although it is only the 1st

I jumped too late onto IOF this year. Start of March appeared to be the best time to join in hindsight. Joined in April.

You can disconnect the battery from the octopus app as soon as you've changed the tariff to cosy, or before if you wish.

The import switch will take a few hours to sort. The export switch could be up to four days, but I believe they back date the calculation to the start of the day you asked to leave.

If you remain on a time of use (time of export?!) tariff, it shouldn't take more than a day to switch.

But I guess the fixed (but now variable) 15p export is probably the best option.

Changing from a ToU/ToE tariff to a "fixed" tariff means they move from using the 48 half hour export slots in the meter to just using the index reading. Thus it can take up to four days to get the meter updated and for the billing to appear correct, reflecting the new export tariff.
