    Only cost me an extra 13p over the few days it was higher than SVT,.

    I'm still £1 better off than having been on SVT.

    Does anyone know how long it takes to get on the tracker once you register an interest in it?

    If you're already an Octopus customer, it shouldn't take more than a couple of days.

    Once I actually confirmed I wanted to move, it was done within the day.

    They sent me an email with a link as soon as I requested it (via twitter) , it was effective from the next day.

    Wholesale electricity up again! 😧

    Unless there are significant drops over the next while, June is on course to be more expensive than May, for both fuel types (though the average daily unit rates, to date, are still currently below SVT).

    Yes, for my region the unweighted average for June to date is 5.57p/kWh gas & 25.0p/kWh electricity.
    On the upside, I'm using little of either at present (11m3 of gas and 26kWh of elec so far this month).

    Yes, shared a couple of half a dozen pages back (has it really been that long).
    Nordpool for electricity (£ per MWh so divide by 10 to get p per kWh, and make sure you're using GBP prices, not EUR ones)
    Marex for gas (look for NBP All Day DA, in pence per therm, so divide by 29.3 to get p per kWh)
