They dropped mine

Re: Smart Meters and Tariffs
 

I'm pleased I got on the April 12 month Fixed V4 because that isn't available now and they have replaced it with a V2 and the Electricity has gone from 22.95 to 24.19.

Re: Smart Meters and Tariffs
 

me too then. The CS on X did say it was a special deal and the £50 per fuel get out was if they did not and we left they would lose. The pre bought the fuel

Re: Smart Meters and Tariffs
 

Gas prices are really low atm, if you look at Tracker its been the case for weeks now, atm they are about 4.7p.

Re: Smart Meters and Tariffs
 

I'm on Tracker and looked to see if it was time to change but couldn't find a decent alternative so stayed and just hope that I made the right decision. So far I'm satisfied with Octopus and the Tracker option.

Re: Smart Meters and Tariffs
 

The new Tracker is out today April 2025 V1, no idea how it compares to previous ones.

Edit
It's now listed on gas tracker.uk and the electricity is slightly cheaper than the December 2024 tracker but the Gas costs slightly more.

Re: Smart Meters and Tariffs
 

I would have been better staying on the December 2024 Tracker rather than the fixed rate im on with current prices but I guess it would even out when Tracker prices increase and there is no way I could have known which Tracker would be better because the new Tracker came out on the day my April ended this rendering the December 2024 Tracker unavailable.

At the end of the day I think I got a good fixed rate on my Electricity for the next 12 months.

Re: Smart Meters and Tariffs
 

The "New" tracker prices look to follow the same pattern here as well.

Dec 2024 V1: E=21.78p, G=4.85p

Apr 2025 V1: E=21.25p, G=4.96p
i.e. Electric slightly less, Gas slightly more.
The Electricity standing charge is lower now, 48.01p (v 54.85p before).

Either way, the gas price is less than my fixed price atm, and way less than standard (SVT).

We still await a new Agile version, with the lower standing charge (its still 54.85p here atm).

Octopus are also currently doing this;

No use to me, but some may be interested.

It seems they are getting wise to to all the switching.

Octopus Go (April 2025 v1) now has a £25 exit fee.

(Oddly, they still list a version of 'Go' without the exit fee, which is confusing ...).

Re: Smart Meters and Tariffs
 

As Agile is moving in the right direction i moved back to it yesterday. In my opinion the summer months are the best months for Agile.

Re: Smart Meters and Tariffs
 

Yes, also the best for Tracker too, my fixed has a £50 exit fee but my fixed rate is good so hopefully won't need to use it.

Re: Smart Meters and Tariffs
 

I moved back about 6 weeks ago, saved quite a bit since then.

I agree it seems spring and summer are best, esp with all the solar generation around now.

The question is what to do when winter approaches again.
The price cap is predicted to go down by 6 to 8 % in July, so I'm hoping there will be some reasonable fixed deals in Aug/Sep.

Otherwise I'll be looking at "Go" again for the Autummn/Winter months (with the best fixed Gas I can get).

Re: Smart Meters and Tariffs
 

Just been looking at Outfox's deals, they seem pretty good atm.

12M Fixed, E:19.24p, G:5.599p
18M Fixed, E:19.64p, G:5.599p
24M Fixed, E:19.84p, G:5.599p

The standing charge is a little higher (@56.9p).
Even with the higher SC, those prices still look really good, I'll be keeping an eye on them
I love some of the Octopus features (like the mini) but they are becoming less competative atm.

Re: Smart Meters and Tariffs
 

In my region I get.
12M Fixed, E:21.216p, G:5.599p
18M Fixed, E:21.615p, G:5.599p
24M Fixed, E:21.814p, G:5.599p

Standing Charge E:50.840 G:31.429

Cheaper than Octopus apart from the Electricity Standing Charge, my fixed rate was listed as the cheapest available a few days ago.

Re: Smart Meters and Tariffs
 

Are there any FREE Sites or Apps available that will let me compare a full 12 months of data based on my Octopus API with another tariff?

I know the Octopus Compare app is ideal for this but to view the data yearly they want a £2 a year subscription and I'm not paying for that.

What I want to do is compare my current Octopus 12 months Fixed V4 with Tracker December 2024 V1 which is the tariff I would have been on if I hadn't switched to the fixed. I guess I could take each reading monthly but I'd likely forget.
