Unless you have special requirements I really don't see the home display as that useful.

In other news. The energy cap is going up again in January. This doesn't directly affect tracker and agile but it probably means the prices will trend upwards.

Love the picture

Re: Smart Meters
 

Energy regulator Ofgem is urging billpayers to shop around as it announced another price rise in January - the second of the winter.

Someone paying by direct debit and using a typical amount of gas and electricity will pay £1,738, or £21 a year more, with bills now over 50% higher than pre-Covid levels.

2 calls yesterday, and 2 more already today from very thick-accented Indians.

"I am calling from Scottish Power to arrange the change of your meter to a smart one".

"No thankyou".

Hang up.

Changed to a 12-month fixed price deal with Octopus early October, with no penalty for cancelling early.

Re: Smart Meters
 

Surely that is more expensive if you have an electric car?

Re: Smart Meters
 

We don’t

Re: Smart Meters
 

I switched to the fixed 12M for Gas last week as Tracker edged ever upwards, at 5.68p the fixed is pretty good value.
I cant see the current price going lower than that much for a while (if at all) and neither can OFCOM it appears - hence SVT (i.e. Price Cap) will go up again in Jan 2025.

Still happy with Agile for Electric. Its not been a great month so far for savings, I have overpaid slightly some days, underpaid other days, over the whole month I'm 8p worse off as of yesterday - the next few days will correct that as all the wind power is driving prices down (into negative again late tomorrow). That'll boost my savings over the month.

2hrs free Electricity tomorrow between 7&9am with Octopus...... I'll try and switch on my emersion heater to heat the hot water and put some washing on but that means setting the alarm on a Sunday!

Re: Smart Meters
 

Octopus are negative rates for the majority of the time between 10.30pm tonight and 9.30am tomorrow (i.e. paying me to use electricity). Monday may be similar from the look of Sunday evening, when they go negative again at 10.30pm.

Re: Smart Meters
 

My Tracker is only 14.84p tomorrow too.

Re: Smart Meters
 

Wonder why EDF put up electric because gas price rises thought there's was all renewable. Not that the rise bothers me at all

Re: Smart Meters
 

Re: Smart Meters
 

Got the emersion heater and washing machine on so using 3000w, and done the sensible thing and got back in bed.

Re: Smart Meters
 

All this obsessing over meters doesn't sound the most interesting of hobbies. Get a weather station instead, they are much more fascinating to read ;)

Re: Smart Meters
 

It's the same thing at this point. "Oh free electricity tomorrow? there must be a storm coming"
