Well they need to update their FAQ page then, as thats where I got the info from.

How do you get to the screen that you showed me?

No they don't - it clearly states that prices exclude VAT:

https://www.asa.org.uk/news/to-include-or-not-to-include-vat-in-stated-prices.html

I also would question if its clear, there is no asterisk next to the price which would indicate a footnote, I had to scroll down significantly to see that text.

It clearly states excluding VAT - if you feel this is incompatible with asa requirements, take it up with them & Octopus.

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.

https://www.energy-stats.uk/octopus-agile/

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.

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.

HI just checking when you say current do you mean the 55p cap or 35p cap?

Anybody who signed up to Agile starting onboarding process after they launched July 2022 version should get 55p cap. those who started process earlier than that get February 2018 version 35p cap.

Woohoo, just checked with them on twitter and as I began on 17th I get the 35p cap. Just accepted and checked the app and it is 35p cap.
