Sounds Fab news, I have just switched electricity back to Octopus as well

Not sure what this is about - do you have an actual link to this page on the website?

That was taken from email they starting to send out to flexible customers

Ah right - haven't received anything myself just yet. My electricity is still on the original Go Faster (5 hours from 20:30) until the end of April but my gas is on Flexible.

This will not help with your gas unfortunately.

Do we know what the new flexible tariffs for electricity and gas will be from April?

Existing customers on the variable tariff will be getting an email shortly, but the aim is to be £50 below the cap with the reduction being taken on the electricity, not the gas.

No new tariff on the website yet.

Hoping the price promise tariff doesn't get affected like the flexible, but in reality I know it's only a matter of time If only it were easier/cheaper to shift our entire usage over to electricity, I would. I'd also whack up some solar panels and invest in a home battery and heat source pump and just be done with gas altogether.

Electricity is the killer for us with so many appliances etc. Our gas central heating is far cheaper per kWh. But of course I'd like to switch to a heat pump but I can't imagine what we'd need for a large Victorian house.

I've had solar panels for several years now but whenever I've looked at battery storage the sums just didn't add up (perhaps new sums are on the horizon). Likewise when I started looking at heat pumps the downsides seemed to outweigh the upsides, apart from environmental considerations. I suspect that in the current circs environmental is going to be downrated in people's relative priorities until the present crisis is over. Sorry if this sounds cynical.
