    Ooh thanks @northernstar007. I will switch to that today.

    If I use less that 5547kwh/year of electric (East Midlands), then that new tariff is better than January 2025 v1. As I use 900 ish, due to having solar panels, that's an easy decision.

    My older gas tariff is cheaper, so I won't switch that.

    PLEASE do your own calculations, as I can't guarantee my maths pre coffee.

    Thanks for that. Doesn't seem to want to let me change just Electric without emailing them as I'm currently on a fix.

    Email sent ref changing my electric tariff as of today.

    I included a screenshot of that message, and pointed out the link still doesn't work, after asking them to fix it when moving off Tracker.

    Grrr.

     I'm seeing a modest improvement for gas : 6.19 p/kWh to 6.12 p/kWh with the SC unchanged at 29.43 p/day. This is loyal octopus 14 month compared with what I wrote down a few weeks ago.

    Tks QrizB. If there is a new improved 14-month Fixed then that is something I need to check out.

    Lower standing charge but not as low as the capped tariff, I think.
