Current thinking is Octopus Go works out cheaper in the winter and Octopus Agile works out cheaper the rest of the year, you can of course switch between the two tariffs, the only restriction currently being that you remain with the tariff you switch to for at least a month. As an example, in my area Octopus Agile never gets cheaper than 7.37p/kWh tonight & last night the lowest was 6.70p/kW, wheras Octopus Go would have been 5p/kWh of course. Octopus Agile at 2:30-3:00pm this afternoon hit the cheap point of 12.61p/kWh, but during recent periods of low winds was often 35p/kWh (35p/kWh is the price cap on Octopus Agile). Come Sunday night Octopus Agile will probably be cheaper if the forecast winds arrive to spin those turbines. During summer months less electricity is needed for overnight heating so the price of overnight electricity drops with a good breeze & can go negative. During the summer days the excess solar around midday also pushes the prices down in a similar fashion but unlikely they’ll go negative during the daytime.
When i put in my details, car/usage etc it advised me to switch to Octopus Direct fixed for 12m. Im useless at this sort of stuff because im just lazy, but now im confused lol
