Octopus Agile

Too sunny for me today, the conservatory heated the house to 25°C so couldn't use electric heating. Hopefully the white goods and oven used enough to get me below £0.

Negative tonight again.
And the night after too at 22:30.
Very juicy time 😉

I ended yesterday with a 'profit' of 72p. And I have a fully charged car, a mowed lawn, all laundry done (not much really because I've been taking advantage of the cheap slots during the week). Spare room bedding washed and dried ready for visitors next weekend, and my work shirts for the week ironed. I even put the cushion covers through the wash, taking advantage of the warm breezy weather to dry them on the line. 

Today's not looking quite as profitable but I'm about to go shopping so I'll top the car up when I get back.

First Agile bill £6 cheaper than the last tracker bill.

I know I not posted any usage information but my usage is pretty consistent, my last 12 months of tracker bills had no deviance anywhere near that amount.  Also not far off what I posted on the tracker thread with predictions from the compare app.

I managed to mugger up the connection for our battery to the inverter, so having empied the battery down to 20% I couldn't recharge it, and our solar suppliers aren't answering the phone so we're stuck til Monday.  We did, however, mow our neighbours lawn and everything that can be washed, has been washed and some stuff put through the tumble drier

I moved over from Tracker to Agile on the 15 Feb.  On 14 March, I had total saved £8.41 compared to Tracker.  Today (14 April), my running total saved is now £45.11 compared to Tracker.  That is a £36.79 saving between 15 March and today.

It's been a cheap month.

Latest predictions from Russia-Ukraine are for rising energy prices, I forget the exact source. If this turns out to be true, and for more than just a weekly blip, does this reduce the attractiveness of Agile vs Tracker? If we can learn anything from history.

Average Agile kwh price for the month, nearly half way through is 5.8p kwh.

I wouldn't try and explain it to anyone else or the sort of effort involved at 4pm each day to make the most of the tariff as to most that seems obsurd. Even to those moaning about energy costs as they just want everything cheap with no effort.

We get these predictions often now, I just look at reality and history, we cant predict the future.  I have so much confidence now in that the market has stabilised, I barely even check unit rates any more.

Pretty crazy but my average monthly energy spend is approx 33% less than what it was pre energy crisis for only slightly less energy usage (under 5% less), combination of using a accurate meter and the tracker type tariffs.

Blimey last week was a cheap week! I managed to average 0.86p per KWH 🥰
