Aye was hoping today would be the peak with the wind being low.0

I have tended to neglect Go but visually on the basis of the graphs you have submitted it would seem that Tracker has outperformed both Agile and Go, or have I missed something?QrizB said:
We're currently having the sort of energy supply (ie. weather) where Tracker is cheaper than Agile for most of the day. See the charts at energy-stats.uk for evidence.Telegraph_Sam said:I risk being deliberately provative lol but does it make sense to take account of these relatively minor price movements on Tracker? Would not being on Agile make more sense?
And this is why I chose Go!⁷Telegraph Sam
There are also unknown unknowns - the one's we don't know we don't know0 -
25.48p not bad considering the conditions.
As before I suggest you all stock up on sprouts or curry whatever produces excess wind.0 -
Will it go much higher is the question!4.29kWp Solar system, 45/55 South/West split in cloudy rainy Cumbria.0

It really doesn't matter work on averages for the month and savings made previous months.looking at the next 14 days wind and solar charts a few days like this then some lower prices than today.Spies said:Will it go much higher is the question!
It's not like you can hop off and on instantly anymore so it's all about knowledge and knowing what your usage and savings are to date and what's coming up with the websites publicised on this thread.

Yes today does look like the "bottom" now in regards to available wind. Wholesale gas isn't going up so you would hope it would stabilise.0

Even if the short term averages and forecasts look high / unfavourable, would that nomally be a reason to switch tariffs, or grin and bear it?Telegraph Sam

As explained in the post many times that's a personal choice and you have to know what you have saved since you joined tracker and what your average p per kWh is and use the links for forecasting what prices may be in the next 14 days.Telegraph_Sam said:Even if the short term averages and forecasts look high / unfavourable, would that nomally be a reason to switch tariffs, or grin and bear it?
It really is a do it yourself no decision is right for everyone and everyone's risk appetite is different.0 -
If it helps,wholesale gas (and remember gas is currently generating a huge percentage of UK electric, currently 57%) is at its lowest cost since 9th Oct, and is generally on a downward trajectory.1

....and why, entering such a cold spell? iv'e given up pretending to have learnt/understand anything about energy prices. i'd be rubbish "playing the markets".la531983 said:If it helps,wholesale gas (and remember gas is currently generating a huge percentage of UK electric, currently 57%) is at its lowest cost since 9th Oct, and is generally on a downward trajectory.
