    Our peak looks like this...

    16:30 - 17:0066.83p/kWh
    17:00 - 17:3066.65p/kWh
    17:30 - 18:0069.42p/kWh

    That is a relief after today though! :lol: 

    Depending on your perspective it's actually worse than today - every daytime slot tomorrow except one 30 minute slot is above the flexible octopus rate, from 7am to 20.30 (North wales/Mersey).  That is pretty unusual for the last year or two.  Tomorrow tracker rate is also (significantly) higher than today.  Still, as said earlier we would have to get a lot of expensive days to make a big dent in what I saved so far.  Octopus Go might be worth considering for a few months if we get continued forecasts of very little wind through the winter, but of course as soon as I switch, it will blow a hooley (learned that expression on a recent holiday from some Dundee folk - no idea if I spelt it right) :)

    Thanks.  Turns out I need the actual prices in graph form (or list at the very least), those boxes are too busy for my brain to process -
    Octopus Compare includes Agile  as  one of the options in its coverage
    - and this has them in graph form for current and day-ahead, brilliant, thanks!

    Longer periods of above SVT tomorrow so I'm not sure which day I'd rather have 
  • Hi all, being something of a weather geek, its not looking super for a couple of weeks or so. Bit of a respite this weekend, but then no wind again next week. Ideally, I'd like to swap to octopus go from agile for the next few months, is there any restriction on rejoining agile later, do we know?

    Just 30 days as far as I know so you can effectively change every month.

    The only restriction was on the tracker tariff as far as I'm aware

    Is there a simple page for seeing Agile upcoming prices (and perhaps historical)?

    I use gastracker.uk for Tracker prices, that's my idea of simple.  Are there any recommendations for anything vaguely similar for Agile, please?
    I use mysmartenergy.uk for agile prices.

    At least there's enough of a gentle breeze on Wirral to get the washing dry today, was not even wanting to contemplate finishing it off in the drier today!

    I'm hopeful that tomorrow's "greener day" might give me a slot suitable for getting a load of washing through - the laundry basket is beginning to look a bit full! 

    We did end up using the camping stove for cooking last night - worked fine. Undecided whether I'll do the same thing again tonight, but it is a possibility.

    Worth checking that's not false economy, depends on the stove but I'm pretty sure my camping gaz would be more expensive than electricity even though I bought when it was on offer
