I've decided to have a go at Agile. Did it through their website. How soon can the switch happen?

It'll probably happen at midnight.

Mine was slow  compared to others because I firstly emailed them  on Saturday .Had an email back this morning on Monday  and went through the website link they sent  and joined .Recieved another email a few minutes later accepting the Agile T and Cs and was switched a few minutes later. Onto 10 p a kwh by 10.30 am  .Gas remained on Tracker . 
EDIT. got through the 3 hour peak period easily today  using very little . This is going to be fun ! Smart meters are a riot, pity i did nt get onto them sooner .

They should send you a T & C email which you have to agree to.  It starts from the midnight (00:00) on the day you agree to the T & C.  It did for me,

This one is important to remember - I've cooked a massive dinner at 5pm, then accepted T&C at 7pm thinking it will start from tomorrow/moment I click? - but no.. kicked off on the same day for the entire day!
So be aware of that

So being on Agile is saving us money without much load shifting even compared to the original tracker formula.

I have started to follow this person on X and will see how close their predictions are when the prices come out at 4pm

I reckon overnight will be lower because we have 4.39 at 10.30pm 🤞

These are my weekly stats on Agile vs Tracker

Weekly stats on the same comparison Eastern region so one affected greater by the new tracker formula.

You can do your own predictions:
1) for next day, follow the red chart (released at 10am):
https://data.nordpoolgroup.com/auction/n2ex/prices?deliveryDate=2024-02-22&deliveryAreas=NO2,UK&currency=EUR&aggregation=Hourly
Just for rough idea divide values there by 7 and you will get quite a good guess. Obviously not related to 16-19 etc.

2) Long term, the closer the red line to green-yellow the cheaper the prices, if they almost touch it's likely to be negative:

So the next 2 nights will be cheap, then back to normal 10p+.
