If they  honour that you got extreme lucky.

that's why I keep thinking there must be a catch   I keep checking my account but can't see any change yet, I'm hoping it's because they are so busy!!

If you are already with Octopus did you have a look at their smart tariffs like Octopus and Tracker? That will be much cheaper.

Yes but I do not have smart meters

For the gas tracker, you can submit normal reading regularly.
for Agile you need a smart meter, but I think you can ‘book’ the tariff whilst waiting for the smart meter to be fitted. 

Agile is capped at 55p.
gas tracker at 16p

I would rather go with the Tracker, Is the price cap fixed ?. I have signed up for the loyal Octopus which starts tomorrow, do you go onto Tacker straight away or do you have to wait to be accepted ? Ican not find any information about the cap rate or the current version of it

You don't need to have smart merers to go onto Tracker, but be willing to accept they may require you to have them installed at some point.

They could launch a more expensive version at any time for new tariff switches, best to contact them by email or twitter message if you decide to change to it.

Tracker product maximum kWh cap both fuels is the same for all regions.

Ive been offered 12month fix with Octopus/Co op energy fixed Loyal 12M

Daily standing charge	49.38p /day
Unit rate	68.80p /kWh
Early exit fee	£0

🔥 Gas

Daily standing charge	27.22p /day
Unit rate	18.70p /kWh
Early exit fee	£0

I've been offered the same deal and I'm strongly considering taking it. My question is though, since I'm holding onto some hope the government won't actually let this happen in the end (daft, I know), if I do take it then does the no exit fee mean I can drop back down to variable at any time, no hard feelings, or is there a catch somewhere?

I have emailed them and told them that I want to change to the current version of the Tracker instead of the loyal fixed deal I took. I will update when I get a reply.

Thanks everyone for pointing this out to me.

There is no exit fee, so you can revert to the variable tarrif if that becomes more favourable when the government interventions come  whatever shape that takes. Im lucky ive still got until 30 Sep 22 on my old tarrif before this commences

Yes it does.
As stated elsewhere, look at the Tracker and Agile tariffs, they are lower than this, capped and no exit fees, though they do require that you don’t swap out again during the first 28 days.
