    If they don't change the Agile formula I will probably switch back to Agile in March.  I moved from Agile to Tracker in early Decmeber.  I was tentatively thinking ot spending 3 months of the year on Tracker and 9 on Agile so would be in line with my original idea anyway.

    Mine's going up about 4.7p. 

    It will be interesting to see how the 12 month formulas change.

    Mustn't grumble.

    Same here - even on the previous formula Agile was cheaper for me. I moved to Tracker partly to benefit from the Savings Sessions and partly to protect myself against the risk of high prices over winter. Planning to stick with the plan and change back on 1st March.

    Mine goes up from about 47ppd to just over 60ppd. That's about an extra £3.90 per month. I'd swear that north Wales has the highest standing charges despite the windfarms around here on land and in the sea

    Still a good offer I think. Can't get over what I hear some people are paying!

    Has Agile had a formula change, or is still the same as before? (tracker got new formula).
    If it doesnt change I might well move back.  As the move to tracker was almost neutral anyway (on usage costs), so Agile with the formula change on tracker will probably be cheaper for me.

    December was a really cheap month on Agile because of all the high winds. January will be much more expensive. Try comparing again at the end of this month and results might not seem so good.

    Yep winter not the doomsday people were predicting, lots of wind in winter compared to summer. :)

    It will be changing. Also the contracts will be for 12 months, although you'll still be allowed to switch without penalty.

    Hi, for clarity, do you know for a fact that it will be changing or is that speculation on your part? As e understand it only the standing charges are changing on 15th February? Thanks, Mike
