    Anyone disappointed to miss these bargain tariffs will be relieved to be offered V2 available today around 10% cheaper.

    But still £200 a year more for me than my calculations for the new price cap. Looking again at Agile but I wasn't planning to get a smart meterm

    If you are resistant to a smart meter. Tracker v3 capped at 40p elec and 11p gas then if you don't want a smart meter?

    Electricity DA down slightly - for me, tomorrow's unit rate is 31.98p/kWh.

    As stated previously, Octopus fixes are based on future hedged energy costs. Those future costs vary frequently, so the Octopus fixes do too.

    It would be useful if someone could explain where to find the V2 Tracker, because yesterday I was  considering signing  up to the v3  Tracker. Does any know what the rates are for the V2.

    I feel like I need an idiots guide!
