Octopus Tracker

I suspect that negative pricing must partly account for Compare giving me better results from Tracker. I doubt it would be easy to check.

Keeping usage down between 4 and 7pm (I have a gas cooker so that helps immensely) my Agile daily cost is always less than Tracker 12.23 cost.  On the couple of occasions this has not been possible, I have been over around 5p a day.

If you ignore the good and excellent Agile prices, I am saving around 10p per day on Agile.  Add on the good and excellent days and I am quids in.

We recently went from having just an EV to having both an EV and a pretty electric-thirsty PHEV in the house.  Since then it was pretty much dead certain that Agile was better than Tracker every day.

I expect that our overall bill for today including standing charge might be negative or close to it (no batteries no solar).

Tomorrow's rate is going to be 12.67p in my region (to 2 decimal places). 7th July it was 12.17p.
6th April, it hit 11.61p which is the lowest I've seen since being on Tracker (joined end of Jan).

You’re right    sorry I missed that, on the 4th July it was 11.00p as opposed to tomorrow 11.49p in East Midlands

Cheaper than our solar export rate. However last time that was the case Octopus had a smart meter glitch and I ended up losing the savings. They don't seem to be doing too well just now either. 

If I put a manual reading in tomorrow morning, and one on Monday morning, do people think that will guarantee Sunday's use being billed at Sunday's price?

Yes, unless you have a glitch on Sunday itself.

Hopefully we'll get a free electricity session tomorrow, given the combined wind and solar forecast:

I wanted to see these figures in Compare but the app seems to be non-functional, both at night which is usual, and now in daylight. Are other Compare-subscribers now having the same problem??
