Our current Go tariff ends on 14th September.
I'll report back once we get word of the new rates, should hear in the next few days.

I'm surprised that Octopus haven't already emailed you with options. My Go expires at the end of the month and they sent me with a renewal quote in mid-August. (I accepted and it's already showing as on my account, to start when the current one ends.)

Yeah I thought we might have heard by now.
We haven't been billed for August yet and we normally get our bill around the 2nd of the month so I'll maybe drop them an email asking about our bill and the new tariff.

Also check in the "view my email history" section of your Octopus account. Occasionally I find emails in there that never reached me.

Your right, they sent an email in July which didn't reach my inbox.
Great shout, thanks. 👍
Here's our new Go rate and the alternative "flexible" tariff.

Jammy !!!!!! friend of mine never received the new Go rates so they left him on the old ones for another year.

Yep, there were errors in notifications on Go/GF, I'm stuck on 4.5p unit lMay next year

?Will I get the 30% discount for being on a fix?

That would be a right result ! 🤞🙂
I've emailed them requesting to stay on Go, as the link to continue on Go is dead, and to confirm what rate we'll be on.

Managed to get the renewal link to work so we have another year on Go at 7.5p during the night and 40p through the day.
The daytime rate is more than double what we pay just now so I'm glad we added another 2.4kwh to the batteries this year, although it's still way better than their best fixed tariff .....

Yes, I went from 5p/15p to 7.5p/40p too. Fortunately I'm using almost 2/3rds of my electricity on the cheaper rate, so it's still a win.

Anyone recommend any good installers for AC coupled batteries in Cambridgeshire? Have space on a low roof to add a couple of panels using ballasted Consoles too to save VAT.
