    I am not surprised in the slightest. I signed up on Saturday and most of the hours daily (apart from 1600-2000), I am paying 0p for energy consumption!

    Given it is a variable tariff, I'd expect a change in the formula once they get it sorted out.

    That sounds like Agile, and only because of the 17p discount.  Prices are relatively low right now, no guarantee how long the lull will last.  
  • I do not argue with the above, I agree that it is a good period to be on the Agile tariff. I wish I could also sign up for the gas tracker

    Is there realistically much difference between agile and tracker?

    Have a play with the App Octopus Compare to see what your usage would have cost.

    Yes, there is a big difference between Agile and Tracker. For as start, Agile prices change every 30 mins and Tracker daily. You don’t get ‘plunge pricing’ on Tracker. Is one better than the other: it depends on how much energy you use and when you use it.

    Tracker tends to have a lower 24 hour daily rate whereas Agile tends to have lower as well as higher rates within 24 hour period

    I intend on getting more batteries. Should I then get agile? I also intend on getting more solar panels too
