Loads of detail in that doc but my interpretation is that they think this summer's electricity costs will be lower than last year's ?
Is there the equivalent for gas?

It will not have escaped your notice that since I joined Tracker the elec and gas prices have been on a high, so I am now level pegging with the best of the fixed tariffs. Hopefully the medium term predictions will prove to be accurate.

Either that or you joining has cursed it for the rest of us.

Sure fire way of reducing market price levels < make use of the Tracker easy exit option

I had been expecting tracker tariff 16.70p/kWh - my region  to be higher today  being as Agile TOU Tariff is  so high across many non peak hours

Tracker doesn’t look too bad against Octopus’ new April tariffs, especially for electricity.

Telegraph_Sam had very good rate - Octopus - January  -  12 month fixed tariff dual fuel being kept for him if my memory serves me correct that would have taken him through next winter,

Well having waited 9 months to get a smart meter installed and then 3 weeks for it to go live on Octopus system, I have just switched to Agile at what looks like the most expensive time of its existance. I suspect during the lockdown a lot of maintenance has been taking place on the Nuclear facilities (at one point last week only 60% were online). Hence the expense.

Current state of play with nuclear facilities

Number of units in service: 9 of 16 

Number of reactors in service: 8 of 15

Yes. I hate to think about how much Agile will cost tomorrow. Better top up the EV today, just in case.

Looks like Tracker, in my area, will be 20.56 p/kWh.
