Where is the wholesale price that the agile formula uses published?

Here: https://octopus.energy/blog/agile-pricing-explained/

Does that give a link to  the wholesale price? I can't see it.  I mean what they use for W  in min(2.2 x W + P, 95.23).

It's not the predictions being out I object to particularly it's the after the event fudging to make them look as though they were better than they were on the agile predict page. It may just be the way she's coded it but it doesn't do them any favours.

I misread your question. I thought you were asking where the formula was published. I don't think Octopus has disclosed which auction they use, and the data may not be publicly available. The SEM-GB1 seems to be the closest match of those that are published, being run at around the same time of day, but I don't think it is quite right:

https://data.nordpoolgroup.com/auction/semgb-1/prices

Presumably the prediction you refer to is updated with new data as that data becomes available. Some of these auctions are run quite late in the day. SEM-GB1 wasn't available until after 6 pm today. The first (N2EX day ahead) is available at around 10 am (this is the one used for Tracker), but it is hourly not half-hourly.

I don't think there can be much of a delay between the wholesale pricing being released and the Agile pricing updating. Otherwise some enterprising soul would have jumped in and filled the void.

Cheers, reassuring it's not just me that can't find the right one, I wasn't sure if I was missing something. As you say they don't quite match the figures. I was just pondering really, I like a bit of data

Nope! I’m on December 2023, which is 48.66p East Midlands (for only another 23 days 😳)

Friday could have been the most expensive day in the history of Agile with £1 a kWh half hour segments before and after the peak 4pm  to 7 pm and 0.85 ps scattered throughout the day.

I had to pull up the drawbridge on that day and switch off nearly every thing and either go out for hours in freezing cold weather and then have a very cosy four hours in the peak period in my down sleeping bag with two hot water bottles watching the mobile phone YouTube's which was very enjoyable and will be repeated if that happens again .
I got away with using under 3 kwhs and actually beat Tracker on Octopus Compare for that day which was also highest of the year at 38 p .
I had to apologise to a couple of people who I had advised to go on Agile with one of them switching to Tracker having had had enough of this tariff .
