If you're amenable to a bit of load shifting then time-of-use tariffs, like Octopus Agile and Tracker can yield considerable savings. Essentially, if you can minimise your consumption between 16:00 and 19:00 you can save at6 least a third, compared to the SVT.

Probably worth pointing out that these savings are likely to become more modest as the SVT falls in April and probably again in July. Still worth considering (I am in the same position myself) but the gap is narrowing as the price cap finally catches up with reducing wholesale prices which frankly have now fallen back to a level where they aren't likely to fall much more - and if those wholesale prices then started to rise the first tariffs to be affected would be the likes of Tracker and Agile.
