  • There is a long thread on Octopus Tracker although I'm not sue anyone is actually still on V1, that's years and years old. Which year of Dec V1 are you on?

    I was on October 24 Tracker and moved to December 24 which is slightly cheaper. I’ve decided to cross my fingers and stick with Tracker as I hope as spring comes it will be better value.

    There's unlikely to be much in it based on the new formula. Have you considered a fix?

    I was (am) in a similar position. I've elected to move to Tracker Dec 24 when I reach the end of my current period, on about three weeks.
    If we get to that point and the gas market looks like Tracker's going to be a bad choice, I'll review my options.

    Moved from the same Tracker to the December 12M fixed earlier in the week. My gas usage is minimal throughout the summer months, and pretty low in the winter (currently looking at 2000kWh p.a.). So not much to be saved by staying on Tracker. Electricity is fairly consistent at 120-140kWh per month, and with minimal consumption during the 16:00-20:00 window, Agile is an option. But at current prices on both Agile and Tracker, the 12m fixed is currently cheaper.

    Any language construct that forces such insanity in this case should be abandoned without regrets. –

    Treasure the moments that you have. Savour them for as long as you can for they will never come back again.

    Why can you not have the option of changing to different trackers online, I am forced to switch to fix or flexible only online.

    You can change online, you have to scroll down to where it offers other tariffs and work through to what you want, ignoring the silly questions section...

    I must be well hidden. If I select change tariff it only offers fixed or flexible, side by side. Scrolling down does show any more options except to review terms and confirm the change.

    But you can go to the tariff specific page and select from there, for example ..
