    Electricity up again today; my guesstimate for tomorrow: 33.5p/kWh

    I think we have to wait later in the day to have a go at gas?

    Actual for today... 33.53p/kWh.

    Electricity seems to follow gas ?, so with today's slight fall with the latter, tomorrow should be slightly lower for the former?

    There's a relationship but not a direct one. It also depends on other sources of electricity.
    The past few days have been settled, so not much wind to reduce the gas demand. The wind seems to be picking up for the weekend so that should also help reduce the price of power.

    Significant drop in wholesale today; I reckon electricity tomorrow circa. 26.9p/kWh... hopefully!

    I can now read this thread with even more interest, Octopus managed to switch me to Tracker today after my request last week.

    Worked out ok, I missed some of the more expensive days  ;)
