Today, I should be paying 27.86 p/kWh on Flexible Octopus. The website indicates 51.57p per kWh. Where does this figure come from?


I have osteoarthritis in my hands so I speak my messages into a microphone using Dragon. Some people make "typos" but I often make "speakos".

Where does this figure come from?That's the capped rate for someone paying by DD in the Midlands, under the now-redundant October Ofgem cap.Seems like a bug in their website software to me. See what it says later or tomorrow, and (if you really want to be sure ) when you're billed for today, check the rate applied.N. Hampshire, he/him.
