You can't please everyone, the SC is already discounted and because it's fixed it won't go up come 1st April like most people's.

Tomorrow will be a really cheap day all the way till 4pm, likely below 10p.

Monday the 11th according to my Octopus Watch App is going to be very expensive, day from Sunday 23.00 it start to climb to 24.46p/kWh

That's still 20% cheaper than SVR 😉
I would call expensive if it was 50p+

But yeah, Monday, Tuesday won't be good but then Wednesday and Thursday quite good.

tracker prices around 18 to 19p for elec past month on average

Check your fixed end date on your tariff if you have one SC is fixed for that term

I think Octopus watch app needs to sort itself out then based on the prices just released lol

Its predictions are often nonsense to be fair. Pretty limited poor app.

From what I can figure out, Octopus Watch predictions for the following day are based on some kind of annual average until about 10/11am each day.  After that time they are based on the morning electricity auction which drives the tracker price, so they usually become more accurate after that time.  If the afternoon auction is significantly different then the predictions will still be way out but this doesn’t usually happen.

Yesterday was our first day on Agile and what a first day - we used 20% more electricity but only 44% of the cost than the previous day. Our average cost was 10.55p per kWh (20kW for £2.11). Really impressed and a very promising start.

We don't think we are currently able to shift that much usage away from 4-7pm, but still working out cheaper for us. We will still need to cook (electric oven) during those times, so a Sunday roast is going to hurt, but things like washing machine / dishwasher can be easily moved outside of peak times.

We are planning an ASHP which will run 24/7 in winter, and can turn that off 4-7pm, taking advantage of cheaper prices the rest of the time.

I feel like I've missed a trick being late to Agile, where our electricity bills have been horrendous the last couple years (around 6500kWh per year). I'm guessing we are going to be around 12,000kWh per year with the heat pump, so Agile should really help with that.
