You’ll also probably find that octopus have only very few people left on agile. The vast majority of agile users have moved to octopus go faster months ago, only the die hards and those, as dolor said, who have a PV solar array and battery are still left.

Or some of us who have only just switched to it for the caped rate for a year and low standing charge.

Its been 10 months since the post you replied to was made, so there have been a few changes

I may not be on the ball this morning

Just risen to 55p cap, glad I didn't switch now:

That means AgileOctopus has both super low (sometimes negative) price periods when energy is very green, AND on the flip side, also some pretty pricey peak periods (previously capped at 35p / kWh, but now 55p / kWh as of July 2022) when the system is under lots of pressure and so more carbon intensive.

You would have got the previous cap price honoured for 12 months at 35p if you had switched earlier so effectively you have missed out.

Octopus have also confirmed to me on open Twitter "if you're already in the process of moving to Agile, you'll get the old cap"

I have got what I think is the old "the accept in my account" but don't want to click in case it increases to the new rate.

Edit, just checked I have this:

"Prices are published between 4-8pm (usually, but not always nearer 4pm), for the following day according to wholesale costs, with a different price for every 30 minutes of every day. Prices can rise as well as fall (though they are capped at 35p/kWh). If you prefer the security of fixed prices, you should consider our Fixed or SuperGreen Octopus tariffs."

If you accept T+C after just signing up you will automatically get current July 2022 version without a shadow of a doubt, someone I know accepted T+C today.

That's great news👍

I started my switch a couple of weeks ago but there has been a delay and I panicked when I saw the Agile and Tracker rates had increased.  However, all credit to Octopus Energy who have honoured the cheaper tariffs for me as the delay was not my fault so I am chuffed to bits.

Thanks, I have just had the email to confirm this is the case.
