Who do you get energy from? Octopus Tracker is currently 15p, and not been over 19p for months. A few days in December it was down to 7p.

Really?! I’m on ‘Flexible Octopus’ — the only alternative they’re offering me is Octopus Fixed which is 26p per kwh for 12 months

Edit; Oh, I see, I need a smart meter to get Tracker. I’m a renter so not sure about the process for getting a smart meter there

Yes this is the best kept 'secret' in the UK power market right now. It's basically half price. I was expecting prices to spike over the winter a bit and reduce the savings but they haven't.

Paying approx 15p/kWh for electricity and 4p/kWh for gas, which is about half of the price cap rates.

Thanks for the info.I need to sort my smart meter. My gas at the moment is 7.3p per kwh
