Octopus Tracker

Griffindog

I found the current one by looking at just the domestic filter but the historic ones aren’t there. Someone put a link on a few days ago to the main Tracker page and the tariffs are all listed there in the FAQs.

User error is more than likely but I'm still looking for an explanation.
Can you refer me back to the post with the Tracker link pls. Tks

I thought it might be because Tracker I suspect was due to be confined to the scrapheap in the near future due to the OFGEM "market-wide half-hourly settlement programme" which was due to start in March 2025 but has now been delayed by a further six months.

Why would that cause Tracker to be scrapped? There are lots of TOU tariffs with long runs of slots at the same price.

I don't think there is anything prohibiting Octopus from continuing to offer the Tracker tariff. If they axe it, it will be a commercial decision. They have probably already positioned it to be worth their while continuing. That is, it doesn't look like a very good deal any more.

Still getting plugged without any regard more expensive Tracker versions new signups would go on, often above current price cap, no mention since July about considering fixing for certainty with no exit fees which would have been a better option. ( was obvious then, not about hindsight)

That article was updated today, so an opportunity to bring that section up to date.

Another twist in the soap-saga: Apparently the version(s) of Tracker elec that I can "see"" / sign up to is in some weird way related to whether or not I have a smart gas meter (up to now I've got by OK with a trad gas meter, thank you). I've spent most of today mealtime trying to figure out the logic before opening the topic up to readers of this thread. Unless it is simply a matter of saving the gas man-in-a-van from clocking up excessive mileage ..

Simples gas tracker depends on daily consumption being available.

If a smart meter stops sending automatic readings customer(s) already on tracker can stay on it giving manual meter readings at least once a month.

Yes but I don’t think to sign up for newer gas tracker without a smart meter, hence Telegram can’t see them ?
