Описание: #OctopusEnergy #OcotopusAgile #OctopusGoAndGoFaster

In this video I’m going to be sharing with you our experience on Octopus Agile over the last year and compare this to our time on the Go tariff and why you’d want to seriously think twice about being on a fixed tariff.

*UPDATE September 2021*
Given the rising wholesale costs, the peak rates for Go and Go Faster have increased. These are fixed tariffs, so if you're already on the tariff your price won't go up for the remainder of your contract.
The off-peak is the same as it was. The peak price is the same as the rate you'd be if you were on their fixed tariff, still making a saving compared with the standard fixed tariffs.
The new day price in each region is (including VAT):
A: 24.255 (Eastern England)
B: 23.772 (East Midlands)
C: 23.7615 (London)
D: 25.872 (Merseyside and Northern Wales)
E: 24.2235 (West Midlands)
F: 23.394 (North Eastern England)
G: 23.7195 (North Western England)
H: 24.1395 (Southern England)
J: 24.801 (South Eastern England)
K: 24.4545 (Southern Wales)
L: 25.0845 (South Western England)
M: 23.415 (Yorkshire)
N: 24.318 (Southern Scotland)
P: 24.6855 (Northern Scotland)

If you have a Secure SMETS1 or SMETS2 smart meter which Octopus can receive the half hourly consumption data from you can sign up directly with Octopus Go (5p/kWh for 4 hours between 00:30 and 04:30).
If you don’t have a Secure SMETS1 or SMETS2 smart meter you will need to sign up temporarily on a fixed or tracker tariff and then request to switch to Go through your online account or Go Faster by sending the email as below once your smart meter is installed and Octopus have confirmed they are receiving your half hourly consumption data .

EXISTING Octopus Energy customer and want to switch to Go Faster? You can send the below email to [email protected]. You don’t need to specify which variant of Go Faster you would like at the moment as they will invite you to select this by email.

What is the Octopus Agile tariff?
You can check out our video of how the Agile tariff works here:    • Octopus Energy: Agile Tariff - Get Paid To...  

What are the Go and Go Faster tariffs?
Octopus introduced a tariff, Go, especially aimed at Electric Vehicle owners, which gives a 4 hours of cheap electricity (5p/kWh) each night from 00:30-04:30, and then a fixed peak price for the rest of the day (this depends on the region). The Go tariff has been particularly popular and increasingly so given the recent increase of electricity prices on the Agile tariff. They have since created a range of tariffs, called Go Faster, in which users can choose either 3, 4 or 5 hours of cheap electricity at a specific time with options starting from 20:30.

Who are Octopus Energy?
Octopus Energy are an energy company who have been a Which recommended supplier for a third year running. It offers customers a wide range of tariffs, including an electricity deal using 100% renewable energy. None of their tariffs charge exit fees.
