sorted byThe Government protection (EPG) came into power on 01 October 2022. During the whole time of its implementation, tracker would only have had to be subsidised for 22 days. These days are in green on the sheet, with the protected rate of the day inserted.
The EPG rates and dates are to the right. To be noted,this sheet is for the Southern area only, but generally the country varied by fractions of 1p, so it is as good as correct for you.
The method used was.....I gathered the EPG data from the Gov website gov.uk/gov…tes. I collected the daily data from Nordpool, processing the GBP data with the equation (((Daily rate x 11.845%)+7.336)+5%) This includes their profit and VAT. So the figures on the main sheet are all VAT inc, and the actual price paid by us, the end consumer.
For those who cannot be bothered, the take out is that over the 14 months of data, the daily rate of Tracker has averaged to 27.62p per KWH., with the lowest rate being 13.55p per KWH. August & September of 2022 were the most expensive.
Not a BGas fan here, didn't use them for for as long as I can remember until I moved house and was no point changing supplier when they all charge the same.
With octopus agile, price for eastern England won't go above 4.4p between 9am-3:30pm
That glorious feeling of "Sticking it to the man" and depriving them of their profits. That was probably another 5p saved today!
I’ve been paying between 14-18p / kWh for best part of a year on Octopus Tracker, and that’s 24-7 not just a few hours on a Sunday
Bit cynical launching this just as the price cap is set to fall, bet they tie you in to an expensive rate just to offer a few hours of ‘savings’
[In Winter '22-'23, a typical household on Agile paid around 35p/kWh on average (a little more than the average variable tariff).
Agile prices can spike up to 100p/kWh any time – that's three times higher than most customers are paying right now.
This tariff is best suited to customers who can shift large amounts of their energy use to avoid these expensive peaks, often by using smart home technologies like solar and batteries.]
Not for everyone then!
Need to move away from this company!
Get them to replace it while a customer, then you will have accurate figures on which to base your argument, and to make it easier for the Ombudsman
Jump ship now, register your interest for Tracker, your change over should occur within 3 working days, and hopefully your account will be converted to Tracker as soon as it is live.
If Tracker is either not available or suitable, look at the other tariffs. Especially if you charge your car at night.
Don't forget to find someone who can give you their referral so that you can both get you £50 bonus. It would be a shame to waste the free money.
Tracker customers can expect charges around 8.71p for electricity tomorrow
Double wholesale price every other time
When I signed up my father, I ordered new meters, which were fitted within 4 weeks. I am in the process of ordering meters now for my friend so that he can join Tracker
Stay away from them. You’ve seen how their CEO decided to behave when millions of us needed their help. Instead he preferred to increase profits and took home a massive bonus too. Octopus on the other hand showed not all corporations need to be ruthless. They tried to keep their prices as low as possible and passed on the savings to their customers as soon as the energy started dropping again. Nobody else did that.

British Gas. My man....
