Agile is between +1p and -1p tomorrow from 10:30-16:00. I'll do better out of that, so might delay signing up to the Tracker T&Cs.

Update says they will email about tariff changes early July, also contradicts what is still said on same product page that moving from tracker is not instant and can take 2 weeks.

thought i'd roughly worked out how daily rates were going to change. didn't see a 5p (to 12.93) drop tomorrow for electric. and we've done wash loads today and even a tumble dry as its drizzly

I've just looked, and the wholesale price is negative (just before 8am).  Wind is doing well today.

Yet we're using coal. Only 1% when I looked, but that's more than when the papers made a big issue of it.

Tracker drops to 8.46p/kWh for electricity tomorrow probably meaning more substantially negative prices for agile users than today.☺️😀

Just had my promised (since May) 1st July invitation to join Tracker, have ticked the boxes and been told it'll start on 7th but backdated to 1st.

Received a slightly different message. I need to give them permission to change my meter profile from E7 to single rate before I can switch to Tracker and will need to reapply when it is done. I think they probably could have picked this up in advance, but I am in no rush while Agile prices are this low!

Couldn't believe my eyes when I looked at Nordpool today!

Strangely, plugging the wholesale price into my spreadsheet (using the same formula that I've always used, which is still the one showing in the Tacker FAQ) gives 9.44p/kWh for me, but the Gastracker and mysmartenergy sites are showing 9.27p/kWh?!
