    As with Octopus Agile historically prices tend to gradually fall nearer the summer but who knows?

     just received my second months bill and I’m averaging 15.54p per KWh despite recent higher prices.

    Gas Tracker seems to have started falling for a couple of days now.
    Hopefully if gas prices are coming down, so will electricity.

    East Midlands slightly lower Green 13.14p per kWh

    Amber 19.5p per kWh

    Red 29.62p per kWh

    For January I averaged 18.45p per kWh as against 14.0p per kWh in December. Still cheaper than any Fixed Tariff on offer.

    Second months statement 4th Jan-3rd Feb covers higher rate period, North West region higher unit rate than most.

    Average Rate 18.42 per kWh plus VAT Total cost £64.86 including SC, only £8 higher than previous month due to using less, no gas used …….

    When I switched from Fuse in November from a fix till September 26 @ 21.18p per kWh, and paid a £50 exit fee, to FreePhase Dynamic I didn’t expect to be making a profit so quickly on that gamble.

    I’m already a few pounds in pocket and expect to make much more over the the summer. 😁

    FreePhase Dynamic Standing Charges are fixed for 12 months but the “formula” for calculating regional unit rates is re-evaluated in April. Is it likely we will see a fall in unit rates?

    Unless I get anymore referrals waiting to pay out I plan to switch elsewhere for an incentive when decadent dehumidifier related weather comes to an end, 9 month wait to go back on Freephase dynamic will not deter me from switching away.

    Unit Rates for Red & Amber lowest since January 1st tomorrow. 😁
