Plenty of people on here without an EV on Octopus GO.

Personally I think it's dishonest as Octopus do say it's a loss product for them.

As a current B.G E7 customer (VDD payment):

Gas (present): £0.06994 & £0.25923

'leccy (present): Day £0.306 Night £0.19715, S.C. £0.36194

(above excl. vat)

Edit: I don't suppose a helpful memeber could copy a link to the latest CI / Auxilone (sp?) future rates tables through to Q3/4 next year please?

Need to work out whether it's worthwhile me fixing or not?

For those who've recently fixed and still within the 14 day cooling off period, keep a close eye on this in the next week in case you need to cancel quickly:

.........BBC News has been told that a menu of options has been worked up in Whitehall to help struggling households, including a freeze on energy bills.

Industry sources are increasingly optimistic that the new prime minister will back plans to freeze the energy cap, the maximum price for domestic gas and electricity set every three months by regulator Ofgem.

This would not necessarily require upfront government financing at the beginning, BBC News economics editor Faisal Islam reported.

It follows multiple meetings with government, including ministers close to Foreign Secretary Liz Truss.

Ms Truss, tipped by pollsters to win the contest, has promised to announce further help to shield consumers within a week of taking over..........

The noises currently coming out, really worry me. I took a fix during the summer to guard against October's price increase and it now looks like it could be the wrong move. I just can't seem to ever make the right decision.

It is / was a really tough choice, and one that we should not have to have made. I decided against my recent fix, as I felt uneasy over the prospect of cementing in a DOUBLING of my rates, on the assumption, things will go up in the future.

Hopefully, they may offer some lower rate tarrifs that you could switch to, IF, this announcement is correct.

There's no way of knowing for a few days until she's announced the full details of any package.  It's possible it will apply only to the first x number of kWh,  but frankly anything's possible because it's all speculation. 

No problem for current or recent switches because of the 14 day cooling off period.  Just keep options open and watch the news.

Just a pity the Conservative Party has left us without a government for several weeks at such a critical period.

I would wait until you hear the news before beating yourself up too much, you made the decision based on the information you had at the time.
