Export tariffs - FIT, SEG, Octopus Outgoing Agile
Comments

For battery + EV owners left disappointed by the Octopus tariff decisions lately, Eon NextDrive Fixed appears a somewhat more favourable tariff. Export SEG is 13p per kWh.

I'm not sure that's a current tariff? EON Next Drive is currently 9.5p off-peak and you don't qualify for the 13p SEG if you're on a smart TOU tariff.
Edit: see this thread from earlier in the year, when it was 7.5p off-peak:

It's current i.e. on offer to customers.

Yes, now EON Next's website is playing ball I see that, despite claiming on one page that Next Drive is 9.5p/kWh off-peak, v17 is back to ~6p.
EON Next's website must be wrong elsewhere as well, then. It states that the 13p export rate isn't available to smart ToU customers and quotes Next Drive as an example of an ineligible tariff.

Yes, I think it's been (rather clumsily to your point) designed to pull away disgruntled Octopus customers and may work for some.

Now I'm wondering whether Next Drive v17 will see the 3.5p/kWh cut in April, or if that's already priced in?

That appears to already include the April reduction.

Figures for March:
- Generated: 246 kWh
- Exported: 119 kWh
Deemed export would've yielded 123 x 5.07 = £6.23, metered (at Octopus's newly-reduced rate) has earned £14.28.

Re. the Next Drive Fixed discussion, we're now on v20 which is less atractive.
