Octopus Agile

Newbie_John

Wow, if tomorrow's prices are already looking really low, I do expect them to be lowest in the last 6 months this weekend (Unless Octopus does its recent trend to set them to 0p).

Anyway, I thought I will put heating to very comfy level but Saturday morning at 8am it's supposed to be 16*C

I changed back today from Intelligent Go so looks like good timing on my part, although the standing charge is still disappointingly high. The car could do with a  bit of a charge too, so I might shove in a little over the known quantity of the next 24 hours and then top up over the weekend if it gets any cheaper. But at less than a 1p a mile for my motoring fuel I shan't sweat it too much!

You’ll probably be paid to charge it if you can hang on till Saturday night.

If my experience is anything to go by, you will already have been put on the Agile tariff from midnight last night. I was switched on the same day when I moved from Tracker.

My data for 2nd of April is missing (octopus, octopus compare), but fine for the 1st and 3rd.
Will it fix itself at some point?

Haven't seen anything like this so not sure about it.

My data for OC also went missing for a day or two ( which I put down to engineering works) but then seemed to come back after recovering. I don't know if the records suffered any long term effect.
If my consumption is fairly flat, or typical, with no abnormal skew,  can I be fairly laid back about the effects of averaging?

Ok, it loaded the missing day today - with 3 days delay  

Can't wait for the actual tomorrow prices, 12-15 is below -20e / MWh and from 3am sub zero

There's a nice cheap session 2.30-3.30 this afternoon I'll be topping up at 3.31p. 

Got some jobs lined up for the weekend if it's advantageous. Shove the decorating cloths through the washing machine.

Hehe, Easter is always decorating time. Hopefully I'll be doing the same as you. I also stick the roller sleeves in on a 15 minute quickwash, much less mess and water to clean them that way. It helps to remember to set the washer up first though as you always get your hands covered in paint pulling the sleeve off

My March consumption, s/c charge was way higher than electric use as I have managed to cut back to around 1kw a day but overall DD will be down compared to last year, and hopefully until we hit December when I will have to turn the gas back on. Everything turned off 4-7pm and just use the laptop on its battery when not digging up the garden etc (saving a bit by not turning the TV on until seven as used to have it on at five). When Agile went to zero, consumption went up by 3kw as turned my electric heaters on and dug the Hoover out and charged various things - not talking serious savings overall compared to my income but did put me in a very good mood nevertheless.
