Octopus Agile

That's very useful to know.  Probably Cosy from Saturday for us then.

We've been on Cosy since last Autumn but I do monitor Agile prices daily, and the Cosy cheap rate has consistently been lower that Agile rates this winter, so for those with a battery Cosy has been the clear winner (although I don't think you have a battery?)

For reference, last winter we averaged an import price of around 20p/kWh on Cosy without a battery, so that may be a more realistic point of reference versus Agile (without a battery)

That's right, we don't have a battery (or solar, just the heat pump). 

Agile has worked out cheapest for us up until now because of the above-SVT day rate on Cosy, aside from the odd very expensive day, but next week doesn't look good and we need some cheap daytime periods.  Our routine usage isn't optimised for Cosy (currently would average ~25p/kWh) but the things that can be shifted will help bring that down.  [Average on Agile for the month has been ~20p/kWh.]
