Does anyone have details of exactly what the tariff details are (price per kwH etc)?  I just see that they're calling it the 'Flexible Octopus' tariff at the moment.  

Just did a quick bit of Googling...I think you can get details by going here and putting your postcode in (tick the domestic + flexible boxes in the filters) - name of the tariff is Flexible Octopus October 2021 v1 I believe:

https://octopus.energy/tariffs/

I think these are the rates for me (based on being in south wales) - obviously will be different depending on region:

Electricity

Unit rate:20.58 p/kWh

Standing charge:24.86 p/day

Gas

Unit rate:3.95 p/kWh

Standing charge:23.85 p/day

That electricity rate is a joke!

The rates I saw on Oct 21 flexible:

Electric

Standing charge 23.5

Unit rate 21.4

Gas

Standing charge 23.85

Unit rate 3.84

It is flexible so how long it will stay at this price?

Forgot to mention I'm North West England.

It will vary by region. The current Flexible Octopus rate shown at https://octopus.energy/tariffs/ will be a good guide as that looks pretty close to the price cap to me, and they've stated it will be £10 under the cap.

Energy prices going one way and that is up - why anyone would even bother going for a Variable rate is beyond me

I'm just going to let my switch to BG Evolve proceed I think, since the rates are pretty similar to these Octopus ones (except it's fixed so at least I'm guaranteed them).

Unfortunately it's going to get worse. It's cheaper than the quote I looked at on ask for a quote.

You keep saying Octopus is expensive.
Why don`t you post a fixed tariff that`s cheaper than Octopus capped SVR tariff @ £1277.
There isn`t any.

I found NEON REEF the cheapest for electricity. Check them out - they were cheaper then AVRO for me
