Not sure when but at some point between the above post (24 Oct) and today, EDF have moved onto offering Freephase Static 24m v8… and rates are higher.

Last Feb I managed to snag what now looks like a very good fix just before the start of Trump's Iranian lunacy, and the unit rate I'm now paying of 20.19p isn't that much higher than the FreePhase Static v8's Green rate of 18.92p.

I had been interested in the FreePhase tariffs - initially the Dynamic, then as time went on the Static - but neither seem all that appealing at the moment!

I'm curious as to whether anyone is trying to stick it out on Dynamic for the occasional good prices, or all have flown the nest for earlier versions of Static or something else.

I'm rather glad I jumped to what has so far worked out to be the cheapest iteration of Static in my region since the Iran situation broke out.

I tried to get on to Static just after you but was too late. I moved to Eon Next and later moved to their Smart Saver V20 @ Red 35.62p, Amber 15.84p and Green (2-5am) 11.94p which has worked out very well. Not sure what I’ll do when it runs out. For me Tide Lifestyle looks the best tariff at the moment.

masonic changed to FF Static 13 September months after you switched to Eon Next.

Apologies it was yourself that switched to Static just before I tried to.

Yeah I was mid-transfer to EDF when they pulled Static v1 and I was doing ok on Dynamic until things went crazy at the end of the summer.

I have storage heaters so I jumped off about two weeks ago when it got cold enough to put them on. Instead of just accepting the tariffs offered on the switch page, I coded an app to download all their available tariffs from the Tariff Information page and found a fix still available that has better rates than Go Electric with no exit fees. I'm not really eligible for it but since they never check anything, I modified their site to offer it to me and it went through no problem.

Considering that IMO the biggest pull of FreePhase is/was the potentially free hours and they went and gave them to everybody on a TOU tariff with the Flextras Power Perks, it seems the headline benefit of Dynamic is now available on most tariffs and all that it has left of its own are the shocking prices.

I do wonder how aggressively they'll enforce the 'can't switch back for nine months' thing if prices have calmed down a bit by spring.

For what it's worth, since I posted the above a week ago (2 Nov) when the then-current offering was FreePhase Static v8, when I checked just now I see that EDF are now up to FreePhase Static v10.

(On v10 the Green rate for for my region is now a tad lower at 18.08p.)

I averaged 17,75p kWh for month to 3 November, SC under 39p day, £6,25 a month credit for low SC trial - Static 12 M version taken out mid July, that is with paying full rate for free electricity periods awaiting monthly credits.
