Octopus Agile

Bit of an aside, but has anyone noticed since the last few days Octopus have got a day behind on loading the usage data to their app and API - I noticed this a few days ago - e.g. today I can only see the data from Tuesday.  Normally the data from Wednesday would appear late on Thursday night, but everything seems to have shifted back a day.

Yes I noticed the same.

Loving agile at the moment tho as an occasional EV user!

my last 3 months average agile import rate has been 6.49p, across peak and off peak. Those lovely windy nights have helped! 👍👍

As a low user I have just switched to Agile, as I am able to stop using electric between 4-7pm, not too much hassle but originally to offset April s/c increase to 66p where I am so 51p on Agile is a nice bonus as well, also gone on variable DD (both have to phone up to get though), so may not cancel the gas in protest at increase in s/c. Just noticed that gas is included under the tariff so is that fixed for 12 months as well?

Gas is not Agile. You want Tracker for gas.

Just a note for those that use Octopus compare app. There was an issue with the app calculating properly earlier this week which I reported.

Mine is working properly now so they appear to have fixed it but you may want to relook at your comparisons of tariffs and if you use those figures for spreadsheets etc again now they are hopefully fixed.

Decent saving since the 14th which is when I changed

No comparison really- would be even bigger gap going back 90 days. Mainly down to EV usage- without that they would be close

£194 SVR

£98 Tracker Nov 2022
£78 Agile

Yeah, the new Tracker got much worse.

Agreed, as soon as the new formula was released I ran the calculations for the worst hit areas (those effected +3-4p kWh) and called.tracker a regional product now.

It certainly is for us and many friends and family in the Eastern Region now.

All are on Agile, some not load shifting and all savings against the new tracker rates

Just incase some missed the cheap electricity available during the day today

That's good. So far I'm cheaper than I would have been staying on tracker. I didn't even say anything when my son put his washing on at 5pm the other day! Long may it last.

It has been going up a bit early morning with 7-7.30 the sweet spot, afternoon I will fire up my 1500W mitre saw to do some house renovation work and it is also perfect for my cooking which I have bought forward an hour or so to avoid the 4pm rates, which actually suits me better. As we are helping grid overload, the least Octopus can do is get the s/c back down on the tariff...
