Re: The energy crisis

Is anyone interested in breaking out a separate thread solely for the Octopus Agile tariff? As we go into the Autumn/Winter/Spring, the pricing could get interesting :D

When there is wind offshore in the UK, leccy is next to zero. Otherwise the fire up the gas to produce leccy.

@everyone

here is a link

https://share.octopus.energy/sage-hawk-776

Octopus will give me 50 quid, if you use it, but I will sent you back 50 quid, if you send me a sort code/account number.

You will also receive £50 from octopus.

Ask for Agile Octopus +Octopus tracker

The unit cost with Octopus is exactly the same, but is 1.64p per day cheaper for both Standing Charges, under a £1 a month. Not worth the hassle.
