Octopus Agile

In London they were below 25p after 19:30 so gentle difference on the edge of cap (12th Wed):

I think that it's summer pattern with prices 19-21 being high, for example last year:

Which makes sense as at 4pm it's still fairly sunny unlike 8-9pm.

London SVR - Energy Cap - SC lower/UR higher than most regions - North West just over 1p kWh less than London

Agile formula was created 2018, London unit rate showing now on all tariff list 31.29 p/kWh compared to North West 32.22 p/kWh

Yeah strange prices through the day but decent under 8p early hours this morning.

Should be some good cheap slots the weekend also.

Agile pricing seems to have gone pretty whacky the last few days.

Not sure if it's because the weather is unusally cold for June and there doesn't appear to be anything much warmer in the next week or so.  

e.g. very late tonight spike of high pricing - pretty unusual.  

Last few days (when also I didn't really do any EV charging or other high load items), Tracker has showed up as cheaper than Agile for me for the first time in months (using Octopus Compare app).

Of course over the whole month I am still beating Tracker but still curious.

Father's days roast pork and beef done this morning and cost 4p lol

15kwh for 32p - washing, tumble dry, topped up the two ecoflows and legionella on the hot water.

Finally some good prices coming tomorrow to break the recent routine 15-35p :-) 
and looking long term maybe even negative prices at 5am on Friday!

Yep some penny slots tomorrow afternoon

Yeah, I'm glad the cheap hours are after 10am, that gives me an opportunity to see if it may be worth waiting with let's say dishwasher to overnight Th/Fr for possible negative price.  But 1.68p is already so low..

Despite the prices, June 1st til now after the next couple of days will probably pop below 10p kwh on average. Not bad considering it's over 25p for svt

I know this is MSE, but do people really delay their dishwasher going on for days to save pennies?

I do delay mine to the overnight IOG 7.5p rate to save about 20p (a standard eco wash uses just over 1kWh), and this will reduce to nearer 16p after July, but I don't think I could leave it like that for a few days.

Tumble driers, I can understand.
