ive just had my gas statement for march and been avg out, NOT happy in the least
awaiting for electric statement, is it worth contacting octopus?

What does avg out mean? I have only been on tracker for a month and just had my first full bill and trying to understand it.

also if you look at your statement and usage is going down a little bit eachday you will the same patten day by day instead then its been avg out, ive been in touch with octopus they are rebilling, as i said in last post they are unsure why this has happened as i dont have any missing data, will keep u updated

I think they have done this to me, but as I am new to the tracker and its my first bill nothing to compare to. 

My bill says:- Energy Used 225.5 kWh @ 17.50p/kWh for electric and

Energy Used* 798.7 kWh @ 3.85p/kWh† for my gas

Should I be contacting them to be rebilled or would it not make much difference to my bill?

No, that's not it. Scroll down to the bottom pages to see the individual days. You can then see if they are allocated correctly. I noticed my gas was wrong when my boiler broke but gas use was still allocated on those days. The averaging you're seeing is something they always do.

Thanks for pointing that out as I hadn't gone further down the bill as its usually just the workings and other stuff, now I know where to look going forward 👍

What does avg out mean? I have only been on tracker for a month and just had my first full bill and trying to understand it.

Adding to other replies - with Tracker Gas, this tends to happen if there is even a single half hour slot missing in the whole month.  This seems to happen a  lot more with gas meters than electric - since i went on gas tracker i have not yet had a single month where there was not at least some missing data so always averaged out.

Electric - so far I have never seen a missing slot so I get bulled at actual usage.  A couple of times I had to contact them to pull the data again as something was updated late and Octoupus had missed it in their normal time of pulling the data.

well, just under 10p for tomorrow. i dont think 6p is even possible on the newer formula.

9.04p/kWh for me (on Tracker v2) - On April 2024 v1, it would be 12.53p/kWh!

...and on the old Nov22 tariff it'd have been about 7.9p

Am I right in saying that new sign ups will be on an April 2024 tracker where the standing charges are higher but daily rates are the same as the Dec ‘23 formula?
