Dec24 gas getting close to my fix and for those fortunate on Dec23 even closer. The sad thing about tracker(and agile) you can’t predict the markets

Octopus 16M Fixed February 2025 v3 out - for me, lower for both electricity & gas than v2; in fact, it's only slightly more expensive than the Loyalty Fix, making the latter look unimpressive for a supposed loyalty product... perhaps there will be a v2 Loyalty on the way?

I hope that what you say applies also for me if I substitute the recent 14-month Fixed into your text. It is sometimes not simple to check.[Is / was there now a 16M v3 Feb 2025 Fix which is more competitive than its predecessors?]

Crikey, I'm glad you made me go and look at this, I've just realised that when I swapped onto Economy 7 last week they've put me on Flexible instead of a Fix!  Just emailed them.

I think and hope that what is shown on the Home page is the authoritative determination of what tariff I or we are  on at any one time - unless someone goes and changes the displayed details.

Just done a check on latest available tariffs against these (mine - E Mids):

Octopus 14M Fixed January 2025 v1 (Electric)

Octopus 12M Fixed December 2024 v1  (Gas) 

Both more expensive, but that may vary according to usage.

I will need to replicate your checks. You are saying that you can get better rates (for E Mids) in the market than the two fixes that you have quoted?? (depending  on usage)

I was under the impression that there was a general upward trend in tariff costs at present.

You could get the same impression from the current tracker down  trend

FWIW, and as far as I can see, tomorrow's electricity UR is the lowest on Tracker since the 6th of January.
