Hello,

I normally frequent social media groups but found this energy group via a Google search.

It appears a little less toxic here.

It was a great weekend for Agile wasn't it.

This is a nice thread & forum in general! I tend to avoid joining Facebook groups - it seems to attract badness

It is one of the better ones - some long time posters do get a bit judgy on some of the other threads on here.  Shame it's just so clunky to actually have a conversation with soemone though.

Welcome!

Hope you will hang around and join in

Toxic behaviour definitely should not be tolerated - I know I will report any such behaviour and expect forum moderators to remove or ban as appropriate. We are all here to share our experiences and learn from each other.

Now had a full month on Agile and at the current prices would absolutely recommend anyone considering making the switch to give it a go, the savings I’ve had so far have well exceeded my expectations for the surprisingly minimal impact it’s had on my lifestyle. I’ve not made any changes to cooking/entertainment over peak times, largely just shifting of heavy load appliances and hot water heating into the cheapest periods which is just a matter of adjusting timers now and then.

For the month overall I’ve apparently saved 44% from my previous fixed tariff (and 22% against Tracker), and in doing so for much of the month I’ve also been able to maintain a tank of hot water available on demand rather than only heating enough for a daily shower as I was over winter.

Will use this month’s savings with my Octopoints from the DFS sessions to cover the £75 exit fee paid on the fix, then from there on anything saved on Agile will be a direct saving over what I would have paid for the next 5 months staying on the fix.

Does anyone know what the new daily standing charge is for Agile, or has it not changed?

Mine went up to 52.17p in February and as I read it is fixed until February 2025 ...

Mine's the same. (South Wales region)

I am currently on the Tracker tariff but am considering the option of moving to Agile, pros and cons. One aspect: With the multiplicity of half hourly readings is it not difficult to keep track of the many invoices and check for any errors or glitches?

Has anyone had experience of conditions when over a reasonable time span Agile has not been competitive against Tracker?

Netexporter

I'm pretty certain that everyone who has posted about moving from Tracker to Agile have found they've saved even more money.

Every half-hour is itemised on your 30+ page bill. I've never seen any errors.

Tks.
I've been told that recent conditions have been favourable to Agile and that this may not be permanent. Which is why I've been trying to make the comparisons over the "medium" rather than the short term. Not easy. And not forgetting the 9 month wait to get back on Tracker if one has second thoughts. I'd imagine that other readers in this forum would have gone through the same ponderings?.

I quake at the thought of getting a 30 page bill every month. I think I'd just leave it unchecked and hope for the best.
