    Version 3 today, and those are today’s rates. It’s a shame it doesn’t quote the cap prices too. Why does it call them “reduced unit rate” when they are the actual prices?

    That day rate for electric tracker seems lower than the averaged out price on agile, interesting, however didnt do the maths on a calculator was just eyeballing mine compared to yours.

    I agree sticking the EPG discount message whilst its below the floor might mislead people.

    Even tariffs like 'Go' & 'Go Faster' have been labelled that way despite the EPG having no effect on them at all...

    Has anyone else noticed that Tracker is now a "historic" tariff at https://octopus.energy/tariffs not a current one? It doesn't appear on the current page at all.

    Looking at today's wholesale DA gas price range of 75-115, that should mean a UR tomorrow, for my energy region, of somewhere between 4.07 - 5.59p/kWh... maybe.

    There looks to have been a cull of available tariffs? New ones incoming, or simply a consequence of EPG?

    They seem to have dropped their fxed tariff offers and various of their supplier-bespoke options (like OUB), which I suspect is due to the EPG being the only "conventional" deal in town these days.
    The specialist tariffs Go / Go Faster / Go Green / Intelligent / Tesla / Powerloop etc. are all still there.

    Aren’t octopus reducing the standing charges slightly on SVR? Doesn’t seem like that’s the case for tracker right?

    Turns out that it's 5.74p/kWh, which relates to a wholesale price of 119, so outwith the range shown on Marex...?!
    I give up... again. :D

    Presumably just for  SVT aka Flexible, as was the case for the 13(ish)p loyalty reduction to the electricity SC on Flexible April 2022?

    The standing charge hasn't increased like on the SVT though.
