Well the numbers are in, yesterday was painful, double the SVT cost.
Hopefully not too many days like that, otherwise I will be looking at plan B.

Re: Smart Meters and Tariffs
 

As I'm home all weekend, I'm hoping it drops back to normal pricing levels for my Tracker. But I'm only home another week and it's early shift before I travel to parents for the Christmas period so I'm not going to make any tariff changes until after then. My Tracker prices today are 31.18 Elecy and 5.43 Gas, so my Gas is usually still cheaper than the SVT.

Re: Smart Meters and Tariffs
 

Back to below the SVT for tomorrow on my Elecy at 23.20.

Re: Smart Meters and Tariffs
 

I will give it another week and if it stays like this i will jump on an EV tariff till next year when the weather gets warmer. :)

Re: Smart Meters and Tariffs
 

As noted by SnoopZ, tomorrow looks to be back to normal.
Gonna need a few good days in the rest of December to cancel out the last 4.

Re: Smart Meters and Tariffs
 

Sunday is a good day on my tracker at 18.57.

Re: Smart Meters and Tariffs
 

Yes, cheap dinner tomorrow. Needed after last week. :)

Re: Smart Meters and Tariffs
 

And again Saturday Tracker 14.71.

Re: Smart Meters and Tariffs
 

After the worst day I have ever seen last week, tomorrow is the best I have seen, mostly around 5p - even the peak prices (4pm - 7pm) are below 30p.

The horizontal lines are 5p, 10p, 15p etc.

December is certainly proving to be an interesting month price wise.

Re: Smart Meters and Tariffs
 

Tomorrow looking good as well (and mostly negative values overnight).

The "losses" from the super high rates the other week have now all been wiped out by savings since then, overall, the month is back on track, in the green (!).

Re: Smart Meters and Tariffs
 

Yeah if it had continued to be that bad I would have said the ofgem had set the price cap too low.

Re: Smart Meters and Tariffs
 

If you look at the generation history for those 3 days, wind power was almost non existant.
On Dec 12th it amounted to just 5.3%, we imported more (6.9%). It was almost all Gas (65.2%) hence the leap in costs. Quite Strange.

Re: Smart Meters and Tariffs
 

I've currently got no gas boiler so spent the whole day heating the house with electric heaters and emersion for hot water, the Electricity cost for yesterday is £9.57 when I usually use £1.50 during a weekend. So my point being living without gas for heating and hot water is bloody expensive.

Re: Smart Meters and Tariffs
 

I keep getting phone calls to try and get me install a Smart Meter, But I hear a lot of complaints about them. Are they worth bothering about ?
