Re: The energy crisis
Regarding Agile, I switched a month or so ago and this app (on iOS) claims to show the savings made relative to a chosen (other) tariff for your region:
Octopus Compare
It claims that for the last month we spent £77.88 on Agile November 2022 v1 vs. £145.79 if we remained on the Standard Tariff April 2023 v1

Meanwhile I carry on paying on average 30% of the amount SVR (legacy) tariff users pay for the same usage. Using my smart meter with a smart tariff issued by a profit making utility provider.

Re: The energy crisis
Crisis, what crisis?
All good as the energy companies announce billions in profits and share buy backs.

Re: The energy crisis
Quote:
French state-owned EDF reported this morning that its UK business made profits of almost €2.3bn (£2bn) for the first half of the year, up from €860m in the same months last year. That included the earnings from EDF’s nuclear power plants in the UK.
It said this increase was driven mainly by the regulated price cap, with EDF telling shareholders:
The rise in EBITDA is essentially explained by a recovery of margins in the supply business, driven mainly by allowances in the UK domestic default tariff cap allowing suppliers to recover costs incurred through the market turbulence of previous years.

Re: The energy crisis
This is a crisis in its own right. I'd like to see a balance sheet that sets off past losses (as in Covid) against the recovery profits. If there is a net surplus for these companies, then there's something more than very wrong, particularly in respect of regulation.

Only when I get up at 5am on an Early Shift but obviously the heating isn't on at this time of year.

Re: The energy crisis
Question for anyone on Octopuses normal Flexible Tariff.
Octopus are offering me a fixed tariff called 'Loyal Octopus 12M Fixed' and say I could save £33.36 a year on Electricity and £30.75 on Gas if I switched with their monthly estimate at £102.11 compared to £107.45 on my current Tariff. My latest monthly usages bill is £56.33 for Electricity and £25 for Gas, I pay £100 a month via DD and now £360.60 in credit.
I've never had a fixed tariff before so I really don't know if I should switch or not....

I am not sure. If Octopus was not charging £75 per fuel if you want to switch mid contract I would be on the fix already but the £150 charges puts me off
It is dropping in October then rising in Jan but then it is all clouded. If it drops a decent amount in April and July you could find you losing out
