I think someone made a mistake with that figure.
If you compare the standard fix Vs the low SC fix, the breakeven is 7,500ish kWh of gas.
PPI success. Banding success. Double Dip PCN cancelled! South facing solar (Midlands) and battery. Savings Session supporter (is it worth it now!?)2 -

Agreed. The much larger value is comparing against the current SVT. I posted the calculations for Southern region a few days ago.

We decided to go with Fuse Energy, although it was the V8 by the time I got round to it!!
Switch should complete tomorrow.
How's it going, AKA, Nutwatch? - rolling 12 month spends to date = 2.85% of current retirement "pot" (as at end October 2026)1 -
Today we have
Octopus 12M Fixed July 2026 v5
And the low SC counterpart
Shows very slight decrease for me.

IOuchy - that low SC tariff has now sent the gas unit rate to north of 8p/kWh for us which feels pretty steep.

I'll be sticking on my current fix until it finishes in the winter I suspect, with it's rather nice 4.73p unit rate…

ughhh, the Cheap Energy Club comparison tool seems buggy, I got very interested when I saw the Tariff from Octopus with lower standing charges, unfortunately my energy use is below the required numbers, so im not sure why it would show it in the comparison list when i'm not eligible 😡

Email them and ask

Would you normally expect Octopus to contact you a certain time before the end of a fix? Mine finishes on 29 August or thereabouts, and I've heard nothing from them yet.

Me neither!
