    Errrr … do we trust the tariff info at this unseasonably cheap price?  Not sure I do.

    (Saying that, for us with electricity the only extra things we'd do would be things that need doing anyway at some point, and I'm thinking 'at the EPG cap' is as good as it gets - it can get worse, by about 3p, but unlikely to get better, so won't lose anything by doing them today anyway.  Hmm.)

    My advice:
    Get screenshots, and review the next bill at the end of the month, armed with said screenshots.
  • 15.18 and 5.82 for me today (Yorkshire). I looked this morning and we were still at the cap.

    I’m not convinced that is the correct rate. Mine shows 6pkWh in the Octopus dashboard but Octo-aid which imports data from the Octopus API is showing it at the govt cap and the mysmartenergy.uk rate tracker is showing todays SW gas rate at 14.4p/kWh which matches the Octo-Aid rate.

    I look forward to an interesting discussion with Octopus following the next bill in that case.

    We know Georgie from CS is wrong anyway, but I'm laughing at the idea of electricity having been 19.3p in August when we signed up for Tracker.  If only!

    Yep, mine's showing at 5.88 for gas today and 17.21 for electric (Eastern region). Seems odd during the cold weather, is the wind blowing?
    Yeah odd. Gas is the main source of electricity right now so surprising. I'm not on electricity tracker so it's also strange that's low today at these sport prices while Agile rates are 80p without the cap.


    Where did you get the national grid data from? I had a look at a few apps and they don't look like that. Really easy and pleasant layout of data.
