Was 5 point something at the time I posted for me, but it is indeed higher today now at 7.17p. So on a upward trend now although still below EPG.QrizB said:
Almost 6p/kWh for me today, and (judging by Marex) likely to be higher again tomorrow.Chrysalis said:

Ok, I see.Yeah but Octopus never communicated to some of us if gas tracker is affected by EPG, so the only way to know because they didnt communicate is to see where it caps at. If its the product cap of 11p or regional EPG cap.
Every single day since EPG started gas tracker has been below both caps.0 -

The naming on Tracker is not exactly clear: there are two versions of v1, being 'v1 August' and 'v1 October'. I'm on v1 August, but the gas cap is 22p.
Is there a v1 version prior to 'August'?No free lunch, and no free laptop

Yes, the history is in this thread somewhere but IIRC there was:macman said:The naming on Tracker is not exactly clear: there are two versions of v1, being 'v1 August' and 'v1 October'. I'm on v1 August, but the gas cap is 22p.
Is there a v1 version prior to 'August'?- v1 (original from 2016 to spring 2022)
- v2 (which didn't last for long)
- v3 (from April or May 22)
- July 2022 v1
- August 2022 v1
- October 2022 v1

I just checked the energy-stats page, the energy tracking is barely above the original agile, so it is indeed a massive shame Octopus pulled the tariff as even on the £1 tariff, would barely be hitting 45p for a few hours at peak and then cheaper rest of day for most of the last couple of months.QrizB said:Chrysalis said:

If they had adhered to apparent EPG reduction rules maybe they would not have had to pause Agile and Tracker tariffs.Chrysalis said:

Interesting both the reference to December 9th and also they stating EPG reduction will not reduce below 34p kWh
