Octo-Aid for iOS, in dev for androidis there an app for it so you can see what current days rates are
Just set up alerts if on iOS or keep an eye on them some other way like the website in first post but you don't really have to check every dayFinally got on the tracker from today....How's it going for people already on it? And advice I need ir is it just carry on as normal? Thank you
Thanks for the reply, this is what I've been sentJust set up alerts if on iOS or keep an eye on them some other way like the website in first post but you don't really have to check every day
If you don't have a smart meter I would get one - the ihd will be wrong as it's a tracked product, but it means you have daily billing in stead of averaged prices
Other than that it pretty much runs itself
The rates will change every day, but usually not by a massive amountThanks for the reply, this is what I've been sent
Was thinking about this the other day. I don't suppose you can join the wait list for this specific tariff whilst a customer elsewhere?4.3p gas today
Yes you can, on the tracker page there is a form you can fill in that captures your details and then when ready I suppose they contact you. I've done friends on the waiting list as they've had a fix until May.Was thinking about this the other day. I don't suppose you can join the wait list for this specific tariff whilst a customer elsewhere?
I've a three year fix that finishes in Sep so moving before then would be stupid given my current rate.
Would be great to join the list and jump to octopus when there's a spot in the autumn, but it wouldn't make sense at all for them to allow me to do that.
You can apply for the tracker tariff now, and see what happens - if you get on it in say 3 months, then it could be worth you switching BUT make sure you check if you have early exit fees as many fixes do, if so ask or check what the terms are.My current contract with EDF ends on 31st of August. Not sure what to do. If I apply for the waiting list now what are the ramifications. Currently paying £140 per month butthat is on a two year fix. Any advice welcome as I am not great on this stuff. My current tariff is 17.73p per unit of electricity with a standing charge of 23.21p. Gas is 3.678p per unit with a standing daily charge of 26.60p.
Cornwall insights suggests fixed term deals will be around the energy price cap, giving "consistency" but not really saving much.In view of the news today, the sensible thing is to NOT commit yourself to any fixed term with any company for the next couple of months.
Then will be the time to look at companies which will surely be returning to competitive deals and you can pick and choose again.
This is crazy that prices aren't coming down quicker, the gas price is lower than what it was for 90% of the time between 2014 and 2020. Maybe they don't think the standard price will come down just due to risk of it being jacked up by more or longer conflict etc?In the news today price cap coming down to about £2k

That comes up to these unit rates. Current octopus tracker is 16.7p elec and 3.65p gas
Cornwall insights have said they don't expect standard tariffs to reach 2020 levels this decade
Grim
Thing is it's only just dropped to those levels and I believe they need a period of stability for prices to see meaningful drops, at least this is a start anyway.This is crazy that prices aren't coming down quicker, the gas price is lower than what it was for 90% of the time between 2014 and 2020.

Not really going to cut down peoples bills by the looks of it, just means we're paying less tax to fund the government paying the difference.
I think the law is changing so that companies get forced to take up the CFD's, which pay the agreed £40/MW, rather than the £100/MW they're currently getting (and raking it in).
