Octopus Tracker

Now that the EPG discount has increased to 6.4/31.8p for gas/electric, I assume that July V1 is, in effect, capped at, rather than slightly above, the EPG. Or am I misinterpreting something?

That would also be my interpretation.

Big relation to energy costs on trackers/agile.

January has been the first month since the start of October 2022's SVT that URs, for both fuel types, have been below EPG every day of the month.

January 2023 - 24.87p/kWh / 7.16p/kWh

Roughly 30% cheaper than most UK energy users. It will be a shame when we get to the end of our tariff period. I’m on V3 and mine runs until June. I hope the offer a new decent tracker by then.

Tracker is currently trending on HUKD, and they're going daft for it.

Some of the posters on HUKD really haven't got a clue. If there's a sudden spike in wholesale prices they won't spot and 6 months later will be screaming about mis-selling.

By that time the dips will have cancelled it out again anyway


Just done the sums and having been on Tracker for 5½ months, overall we've saved just over £165 so far - and that's *after* overpaying by ~£130 before the EPG kicked in.  The last two months each have been over £100 cheaper than if we'd been on the SVT - granted, that's only been possible because of the EPG, but without the EPG everyone else would have been paying a lot more all the time too.

I've come here from HUKD to see what the general consensus is. I've realised my anxiety couldn't cope with it! 🙈

It is a no brainer, all you have to do is keep eye on rates on online dashboard or these threads to make sure doesnt go above flexible capped tariff

As others have said, Tracker and other time-of-use tariffs (such as Agile Electricity) require the daily attention of pro-active consumers: these tariffs are the first to fall but also the first to rise if market conditions change. They are not for consumers who just want to ‘fix and forget’.
