    @QrizB seems a good rate , do you know if company is well backed or if had potential to go under?  Can I ask did you go for it?!
    GEUK is adequately backed and is exempt from the Ofgem cap, so won't get tripped up by the same sell-less-than-cost problem that caused all the supplier failures last winter.
    I've got a good fix with Octopus until September 2022, so I'm not looking to change anything yet.

    Existing customers contact them via usual channels asking to change tariff to Octopus Tracker, gas only etc,  new customers phone them.

    They are currently looking for new customers to switch only if they would save by switching compared with being on SVR with existing supplier.

    New customers best to say that have seen that Octopus Tracker v3 is currently cheaper than SVR and expected to also be cheaper than SVR after 1 October.

    Yes that is the date Octopus Tracker v2 changed to v3 for new tariff switches.
  • What's the SC on Agile? Only thing I could find is potentially 21p where it mentions a daily subscription?

    Currently being offered the chance to renew electricity on the Go Faster tariff:

    Peak unit rate: 35.66p / kWh
    Off-peak unit rate: 7.50p / kWh
    Standing charge: 41.39p / day

    Gas were all good on until end of September 2023 with the Price Promise tariff as long as there's no more changes.
    Pennies holding up the Pounds.

    We’re you already on Go Faster and do you have an Electric Vehicle? I’m on Go Faster but was not offered the chance to renew it only the SVT or Econ7.
