Octopus Tracker - Electricity Prices Nov/Dec 2022
Hi,
I'm looking back at last Autumn prices, from before I was on the tariff. As I understand it Octopus was applying the EPG discount on days that Tracker rose above that.
I found these historical figures, but can anyone tell me whether these were the raw figure, before EPG discount, or the prices actually paid? I would have expected to see a plateau at the EPG which at that time was just over 33p. However I guess it's possible that the rate jumped so far between between 27th and 28th that the price shown is after the 17p discount.

Just change it to your region. It goes back one year. I would caution against drawing any conclusions from the last few years figures. They are all over the place and are unlikely to reflect future prices.

I think Xbigman is correct, and those are the uncapped prices (before EPG and before the internal Tracker cap, which ran at various levels depending on Tracker version).Xbigman said:
