Octopus Tracker

SJMALBA

Last Saturday, electricity was 'just' 14.18p/kWh, gas last Friday was ‘just’ 1.61p/kWh, and now look at them! Unusually low on these days, perhaps, but... yikes! 😲

Average daily unit rates for June to date are still below SVT, but if the rises of the last few days continue... 😧

My energy region guesstimate for tomorrow:

Electricity - 31.1p/kWh (hopefully, I'm wrong, and it's lower...)

I'll leave gas to @QrizB.

Thanks, I think

Marex's average DA price for tomorrow is 161p/therm, 5.495p/kWh, pretty much the same as today.

(It's the good weather, there's very little wind around and not enough solar to make up for it.)

I'm seeing 193/therm, doesn't that make it over 8p/kwh?

Almost a whole years gas recorded as being used between 7.30 and 8am on Saturday!!!

I think the problem was the new gas meter was showing 9999 rather than 0 and took from 8th to the 11th to get to 0. Could take some time to sort out and maybe I won't get switched until it's sorted.

Usually the crazy high usage is where an error code from the meter is interpreted as a consumption figure.

The Octopus systems filter those out, but Bright and N3rgy report them as data regardless.

I was told that it is a hexadecimal error which equates to zero consumption. I have had it from time-to-time on two sets of smart meters (different manufacturers and models).

I have many examples of zero consumption, that does not give an error.

What Octopus do when the error occurs is to replace it with a zero consumption entry.

You're right, I posted too early in the day! That's 6.587p/kWh wholesale, putting Tracker around 8.5p/kWh.

Ever since I switched to the tracker the other day, the prices have been creeping up! Let’s hope this trend stops soon, otherwise I’ll have to switch back to the svt

Could be a short blip because of the explosion at a Texas LNG plant 8 th June when the USA exports to Europe were stopped boosting gas prices in Europe. Reported to be a 3 week pause in USA exports

June 14 (Reuters) - Freeport LNG, one of the largest U.S. operators of liquefied natural gas export terminals, on Tuesday said damage from last week's fire at its Texas plant would keep it fully offline until September with only partial operation through year end.

If a bird flaps it's wings 6000 miles away does the price of gas go up?

What goes up can come down remember 6 days ago when Gas Tracker sunk to 1.6pkw/h when several birds flapped their wings with too much energy.
