So what about after the government cap...

TheGardener

While I while away the time waiting for Octopus to communicate with me  - has anyone found the predictions for what happens after this cap? 
The .gov website says "The average unit price for dual fuel customers paying by direct debit will be limited to 34.0p/kWh for electricity and 10.3p/kWh for gas, inclusive of VAT, from 1 October." 
I can't find Octopus' SVT prices on their website - where should I be looking?

The Energy Price Guarantee cap lasts for 2 years.  This page also explains about what happens if you're on a fix:

If you can predict wholesale prices 2 years ahead of 1/10, then you have a flourishing future career as an energy trader...

Octopus haven't put their prices on the website. Maybe in October they'll decide to enlighten us.

Yep - that would be a nice little earner wouldn't it   ..but no. I meant before the gov intervention there were a few posts from folk like @[Deleted User] who were talking about predictions and I just wondered if those folk with the crystal balls like Cornwall Insights had been doing the numbers...

Octopus have said its new flexible rates will be inline with EPG + benefit of 4% standing charge reduction

That’s the ones I use - still occasionally updated but nobody can accurately predict 18 months or more ahead.

Cornwall Insights have predicted ahead into the spring, through what would have been the next two price cap uplifts,  but even the most highly polished crystal ball isn't going to go forward two years...
Look back just a year, and no-one saw this coming.
