Octopus Tracker

Telegraph_Sam

I'd like to suggest that it would act in the spirit and interests of this forum if members could share whatever alternatives to Dec 23 v  1 (RIP) they have come up with. Fixed and "flexible fixes". In the run up to Feb 2025. For what it's worth I put my feelings in writing to the Octopus helpline.

I’d love to know how many new customers were acquired with the lure of Tracker. I would think most have stuck with Octopus although I’m seeing a few being tempted by fixes elsewhere more recently.

I joined Octopus for Go (and have since switched to Intelligent Go) and have been on gas Tracker the whole time. Will probably remain there when my current term is up.

I associate Go with high load shift / EV / battery applications?

I'm leaning towards Agile with the option to hop to Cosy (as we have a heat pump) if a spike were to threaten to outweigh the savings e.g. if next winter replicates the kind of Agile prices we're currently seeing.  But still with an eye on Tracker to see if any updated formula were to be comparable with Dec 23 version again.

Edit: Tomato do the kind of tariffs that might tempt me away, but … the prices do just look too good be true and I simply don't have the energy to face any unnecessary extra hassle if it goes wrong.

Why can't I find any Tracker tariffs (current or historical) under "All our Tariffs"?

Edit: Just the current Dec 2023 has now appeared but no others current or historical

There should be only one current, the one you'd get if you signed up now. The one that shows for me is the October 2024. Interestingly it doesn't appear if I filter to smart tariffs only.

Strange that you should be getting different results from me. You'd think that "all" (our tariffs) meant "all" in a magician's world.

Tomorrow looks like one of those days Tracker's formula doesn't look so bad compared with Agile's.

But it’s still pretty grim 😟

I was trying to be nosey and check what the prices were for Dec 2023 but could not find them/ any Tracker in "historical" tariffs. Not sure if the search is not very good, you can scroll and scroll if not entered anything in search, gave up on loading more.....
