Up significantly tomorrow; for me -

Green - 17.67 p/kWh
Amber - 26.67 p/kWh
Red - 48.59 p/kWh

That's not so bad considering what has been forecast, but expect Tue/Wed/Thu to be the worst days, with Fri more like tomorrow, and a reprieve at the weekend.

I had been seriously considering jumping off Agile onto a fix at this point, but the early mornings don't look too bad and the Nord Pool auction for tomorrow peaked lower than I had feared, so I think I can ride it out.

Potentially there is some saving in the coming week to be had from jumping onto FreePhase Static, but I don't know how readily one can alternate between the two.

. EDF have a 9month rule like Octopus for switching between Static and Dynamic.

Unless you have read something that I have not seen, rule is if leave Dynamic cannot go back on Dynamic for 9 months, I cannot see anything that prevents someone from changing from Static to Dynamic if they have not been on Dynamic during previous 9 months.

True.     Sorry if I misled anyone.   I should have made it clear that I was referring to the practice hopping from one to the other when the price was high then returning when the price lowered which masonic might have been considering.

Thanks.  I need to get around calculating what I'm paying on average based on my usage per day to make sure it is keeping below the SVR.  I'm sure it will be.

   Even on an expensive day bear in mind that, using the bristolleedsfan chart above, you would need to use a large proportion of your Electricity during the 3hr peak rate to be above peak rate. 

      21hours are cheaper than SVR!

That is the interesting part, SVR is 27p now, so tomorrow looks scary but.. 21h are cheaper than standard rate, few kWh during peak period should not affect badly the daily average, not mentioning monthly or yearly.

I remember how scared I was of that during the first year on Agile but never managed to go over SVR rate.. 

I also cook during that period but instead 3h roast I'll do 20min pizza - 0.6kWh at 55p rate is just 35p.

Make a sandwich, even cheaper

Not a good day tomorrow with red 60-70p.

But again interesting to see what amber will be like as 9-16 is very expensive but outside of that "cheap".

SJMALBA

Tomorrow, for me:

Green - 17.91 p/kWh
Amber - 32.1 p/kWh
Red - 39.6 p/kWh

Expensive day, spread across most of the day, rather than a huge peak.

Agile peak is only predicted to hit National Average high of 51p.

Yeah that just confirms that predictions can't be trusted beyond just simple good or bad day 😂

Actually there is 65p on Agile at 16:30 as well as quite a few 50p+ during Amber 8:30-9:30 and 12-16..
This is the first day I wish I was on EDF Dynamic 😂
