Have you thought about Octopus Go or Go Faster. My peak price is 16p/kWh and 5.5p/kWh for 5 hours - fixed for one year with no exit fees.
I don't have storage heaters, or an electric car - and now I'm working from home all day thanks to Covid - so daytime costs might be prohibitive?0 -

However they have today put up the peak (daytime) rates from ~15p/kWh to ~23p/kWh so it's no longer the clear winner.If you don't have a good way to move your consumption to the cheap rate period (electric car, storage heaters, home battery) you may find Flexible is a better deal overall.N.

I've been looking at Octopus Agile and the prices are horrendous. Appreciate wholesale prices are high now, but the customer is taking all the risk so it’s hardly surprising. It should be avoided at all costs. If you need or want a Time of Use tariff make sure it’s one where the risk is at least shared and you get some benefit from the suppliers hedging - they are the experts after all, The difficulty is finding these tariffs and then comparing them.
