    Lol yes 2022 blimming keyboard

    Also interesting 13-14p kWh for electricity tomorrow gotta be a Roastie day now.

    Make the most of it - prices could be as high as 16 - 17p/kWh early next week if the wind/demand forecasts are anything to go by. That's only 40% or so less than SVR. Should be OK again by the end of the week though :smiley:

    Under 4p/kWh for gas this weekend, too!
    It's almost a shame it's so warm 😉 we're using barely a third of the gas we were a week or so ago.

  • My conclusion from following the various views and comments is that for a user (like me) on Tracker Nov 22 v1 for E & G and with no great load shift potential - the best strategy is to do nothing, at least until I get informed that I will be switched to the new formula and details emerge. Jumping to Agile in these circumstances strikes me as relatively high risk high reward, which could backfire. And as long as the present Tracker deal  is acceptable best not to rock the boat.

    Nobody is saying jump on Agile it's just a heads up, keep yourself informed and looking and comparing.

    Gather as much data as possible, it's a moving market.

    No Agile for gas because the price only changes every weekday.

    I am a member of a couple of social tracker groups and there are new to tracker customers being put on the November 2922 v1 tracker tariff.

    It's not definitive at this stage but interesting if true as at least 5 have mentioned it.
    I've got the impression that Octopus are having lots of problems with admin and processes at the moment and I guess this is due to an error rather than a deliberate change of policy. But who knows and interesting as you say....
    I joined a couple of weeks ago, got put on the Nov tariff for elec and Dec for gas, but about 3 days later got the Nov one moved to Dec, so both now on Dec. They didnt email me, I think that was a simple admin error in the setting up process.

    A heads up for anyone who like me has one utility (in my case Electricity) on the new Dec23 Tracker tariffs but the other one on an older version (Nov22 Gas for me) I have just seen that Octoprice app now has a Dashboard feature that, amongst other things, will show todays and tomorrows rate for the two different Tracker products on the same page (its under the 3 line menu symbol on top right).  Much more convenient that having to select one and then reselect the other one to see both.

    You might want to revisit your screenshot - Can still see the electricity meter number (ending 793).

    Treasure the moments that you have. Savour them for as long as you can for they will never come back again.
