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

    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  :D
  • 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 🤞

    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+.
