SVT is a bad gamble as you know its >40p, Agile is the best move tbh0

if prices continue on the current trend I'm going to have to consider switching back to the standard cap tariff for electricity, or try agile.
but if I do that then I'll lose the 40p cap on tracker, but then agile is capped at 35p for now...
urgh, it's so difficult to know what to do, everything seems a gamble with pros and cons to each, I gambled on switching to tracker but it hasn't worked out so far.
Let's hope those prices come down next week, although I can't see it based on the last 2 weeks!(I've not looked into Agile, as I don't (yet) have a smart meter)
Tip was this is potentially better electricity tariff option for those on Tracker v3 or on SVR particularly as switch to Agile can be delayed for up to 28 days.1 -
Very modest fall in today's DA electricity price; for me, tomorrow's unit rate is 29.7p/kWh.

Highest DA price this month so far, meaning highest unit rate (so far) tomorrow - 35.95p/kWh for me.

Agile looking cheaper currently with its lower SC!

CrazyAverage Agile price for June, for me, was 32.2p/kWh, whereas Tracker's average daily unit rate was 28.26p/kWh.So far in July, it's 34.7p/kWh and 31.01p/kWh respectively.I'm on Tracker v2, which has a SC of 22.17p compared to Agile's 21p.

Still, for current tracker they're pretty closely matched I feel, and to have the 'benefit' from a 35p cap come October is appealing.4.29kWp Solar system, 45/55 South/West split in cloudy rainy Cumbria.1 -

Agile often seems to be at or near the Agile cap, for the data I can see for my energy region, so the averages give a pretty reasonable comparison, I feel (with the relative absence of the usual load-shifting benefits from Agile at the moment).I'll be keeping a close eye on Agile, as well as Tracker, though.
