Octopus Agile

Another day tomorrow with unexpectedly high prices.. luckily it's warm outside so won't be using much heating.
January is quite boring - 95% of prices were above 15p with average 22p.

Although looking at January 2025 95% prices were above 20p with average 27p so not too bad, right? 😅

We haven't switched yet, and tomorrow was a key day for informing the ongoing decision whether to or not.  I'm realising that although there are more things to make use of daytime low prices than overnight prices, we just don't do them all that often so I'm not sure we'd realistically make enough use of the Cosy cheap periods to outweigh the higher rest-of-the-time costs.  And tomorrow the Agile peaks are still cheaper than Cosy.

But, it's good to have options and I'm glad to have thought through a plan in case it's needed.

Yeah, every time there are boring prices on Agile I keep thinking of jumping to Cosy for the cheaper 14p rate, but I do forget that you lose that gain throughout the day:
