Octopus Tracker

Just noticed this on the Tracker FAQs page:

If you signed up before 1st April 2026 we'll automatically reduce your daily unit rates by 3.34 p/kWh for electricity and 0.31 p/kWh for gas.

So, looking at the new formula from 1st April (north east region), that means an effective 0.174p/kWh rise for electricity and 0.536p/kWh rise for gas. The elec rise is fairly marginal but the gas rise is quite chunky.

Bearing in mind, of course, that this is before you take into account the substantial recent rises in the wholesale price. I’m afraid that the good old days are well and truly gone, and that the extremely marginal gains that Tracker may occasionally offer are certainly no longer worth the risk.
