Doesnt seem to be a way?

This link signs up to electric and gas not just gas.

https://octopus.energy/tracker/

    I was hoping to avoid that but I guess I will do it, when I asked for agile over the phone it was just short of an argument, so had to do that online.  Hope it isnt the case for gas.

    Do you know what the SC charge is? as nearly 4/5 of my gas bill is combined pilot light and SC charges.

    If you look below and select the.box down the page named How is the price of the Octopus Tracker calculated
     You can find your region there.

    25.92p by the looks of it they all seem to be the same

    Hmm the maths are quite different to agile.  Is there estimates for the SC on the next gas SVT, or has no one tried to calculate that yet?

    Agile is roughly 30% higher than current SVT on unit rate and is under half on SC.
    Tracker is about 55% higher than SVT on unit rate and the same on SC,

    In the absence of anything concrete, we're assuming the SC won't change appreciably.
    (There's talk of moving some of the SoLR costs from the SC to the unit rate, but nothing official.)

    It's an old message, dated Oct 21 and really needs updating. There was no list or waiting when I moved over last month
