15p is probably the "Tracker Price Correction"Telegraph_Sam said:So it depends on clued-up eagle-eyed members keeping a watchful eye on their website account, or remain in ignorance.

Sorry, the 15p was the correction. 17.6p is today’s rate though for Yorkshire which is a good reduction on recent rates.Telegraph_Sam said:So it depends on clued-up eagle-eyed members keeping a watchful eye on their website account, or remain in ignorance.

Wholesale price is £36.78/MWh tomorrow, was hoping for a bit lower, but that will do nicely. That puts my unit price at 14.25p

tracker getting closer to sept/oct fix, another large increase on gas today1

I asked on another board about why Agile and Tracker prices have gone up a lot the last couple of days, even though the wind forecast looked ok.northernstar007 said:tracker getting closer to sept/oct fix, another large increase on gas today
Seems like it's the combination of
- Increasing gas price (not clear totally why as there does not appear to be any issue with current gas inventories and the weather is milder than usual and set to continue like that).
- The wind forecast and actual wind power delivered collapsed compared to the original forecast - not clear whether this is due to technical factors or simply a sudden unexpected change in weather.
- A few other short term issues with nuclear power stations and gas stations in maintenance.
- Missing capacity on international interconnectors, some of which is unplanned.
So it's not clear if this is a short term pattern or something longer, but at least some of what is going on is likely short term glitches.2 -
I go along with your last sentence. Certainly there would be cause for concern if the medium if not long term averages went up by a significant amount. There are probably some other gurus in this forum who can comment on your points with their insights and let us have some perspective.Telegraph Sam
There are also unknown unknowns - the one's we don't know we don't know0
