    little increase tomorrow with the electric 16.43p in NE, last of the washing inc a 60c wash all done and ironing duty later today
    Still at 16.49p here it's the same price as the monthly average for us. January is stacking up to come in just under 16.5p kWh for us calculated on the daily price and average.

    My Octopus account shows that I've been billed for gas (although the bill hasn't arrived yet). £67 for just under 1400kWh over the past month, which (allowing for the standing charge) is about 4.2p/kWh.
    Compared to Flexible at 7.5p/kWh, or even Loyal at 6p/kWh, Tracker is still a winner!

    16p/kWh-ish for electricity tomorrow which seems good. But if the wind and demand forecasts are anything to go by February should get off to an even better start with a 24hr laundry-thon on Saturday followed by a batch-bake-a-thon on Sunday :-) Personally I'm much more focused on the here and now than medium or long term forecasts. Plenty of time to switch to another tarriff if the tables do eventually turn....

    Pleased with how it is going with Tracker since joining a few weeks ago. Reading this discussion, 'otcopus compare' comes up a bit and i was curious to see what i would have spent if I'd picked agile. Suspect I cant avoid the peak pricing enough to make that work, but was interested. So i got octopus compare app, (so now I have octopus and octpus compare apps on my phone). But when i load compare, it takes me straight to my octpus account. Am I being stupid? where do I need to go?

    First of all, you need to provide it with your API key, which can be copied from the Octopus app, so that it can access your data.
  • Just had an email from Octopus notifying me they are moving me to the new tracker (December 2023 version) on February 15th.  Not as much notice as I thought they would give.

    If the formula and standing charge remain the same for Agile then that works out a bit cheaper for me than Tracker 2023.
