    Just received an email from Octopus regarding the Go Faster electricity tariff that I'm on saying that I'm already paying less than the EPG rate. Not really a surprise considering I'm still paying 13.45 peak and 5.5 off-peak.

    Shouldn't be too long now before Tracker emails go out.

    There are no versions of Go/Go Faster/Intelligent that are not under the cap, even the most recent version, so as expected, no changes to any of those.
    So that just leaves Agile and the Trackers to come...

    Why did it take them so long to email Go customers if they were always under the EPG? 
    4.29kWp Solar system, 45/55 South/West split in cloudy rainy Cumbria.

    They'll know that Go customers are typically more engaged with their electricity usage so would likely already know that they were below the EPG anyway.

    EPG = Energy Price Guarantee - that's the policy introduced by PM Truss which limits unit prices and standing charges so that a typical DD paying user won't pay more than £2,500 for energy

    Energy Price Guarantee aka Westminster government's 'price cap'.

    Oh dear, this doesn't look promising for tomorrow


    Image description: a tweet asking Octopus about Tracker; their response is "Hi Chris, it’s taken a bit longer to review how our more innovative tariffs might work within the new schemes as they’re quite unique but we will be in touch really soon."
