Octopus Tracker

It looks like they have a slight reporting problem today. My web page says for gas:
"Octopus Tracker November 2022 v1Dynamic unit rate
26.84p/day"
When I go into the app, it says "unit rate 0.00p/kWh. Standing charge 26.84p/day"
I'm sure it'll get fixed during the day - I can't see them wanting to give me gas for free!

Wholesale gas was only up 2.5p per therm yesterday, whatever the cost was on Monday add a tiny bit on and thats likely todays rate. It wont be 26p.1

My gas price is 5.55p having been stuck at 5.24p for a number of days1

Still looking seriously at swapping to Tracker, just had a look back at the past 365 days wholesale prices. What caused the huge spike last December?

There was cold weather with snow in March this year and it didnt cause a spike like that, so it cant be the only reason.0

It makes sense IMHO to use the 12 month (averages + totals) as a basis for coming to conclusions between Tracker and other tariffs under consideration. Helps compensate for any oddities like last December.Slinky said:Still looking seriously at swapping to Tracker, just had a look back at the past 365 days wholesale prices.
