My fixed Tariff with Octopus is coming to an end and they're offering their wholesale tracker which is slightly less than their new fixed tariff but that's fixed for a year. I'm expecting the 'cap' to rise later this year so am tempted to fix. Anyone else fixing atm?
What's your usage? Have you got an EV? Can you shift the large power users to off peak periods or do you have young children that need cooking for in the peak period? Do you have a smart meter?MissChief said:

I have to admit I don't really follow the news too closely or can pretend to understand it all but I keep getting offered fixed rates but then the Octopus app tells me it will cost me more.
I just logged on now and the app isn't working (and I appear to have two balances) but I'll revisit it later and try and work out what's happening - are we expecting the variable rates to increase soon?

im surprised how expensive today was as it blowing quite nicely out there
It may be due to a lack of solar, its getting windier though as the day goes on and should be more consistent in the next few days. As tomorrow is cheaper I decided to hold off a few things till then.Gassing Station | Homes, Gardens and DIY | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
