Re: The energy crisis

Is anyone interested in breaking out a separate thread solely for the Octopus Agile tariff? As we go into the Autumn/Winter/Spring, the pricing could get interesting

@everyone

here is a link

https://share.octopus.energy/sage-hawk-776

Octopus will give me 50 quid, if you use it, but I will sent you back 50 quid, if you send me a sort code/account number.

You will also receive £50 from octopus.

Ask for Agile Octopus +Octopus tracker

The unit cost with Octopus is exactly the same, but is 1.64p per day cheaper for both Standing Charges, under a £1 a month. Not worth the hassle.

From my bill

leccy

16.12p/kWh 396.4 kWh £63.92
Total consumption 396.4kWh @ 16.12p/kWh † £63.92
Standing Charge 31 days @ 40.73p/day £12.63

gas

Consumption 49.4 Units (m3)

Energy Used* 553.2 kWh @ 3.94p/kWh† £21.77
Standing Charge 31 days @ 25.56p/day £7.92

† Average unit rate charged per kilowatt-hour.

That's for Agile Octopus + Octopus tracker tariff

Use the link above and choose "Intelligent tariffs" and then Agile octopus + Octopus tracker...it is hidden for a reason.
