Octopus fixed tariff day rates are currently 33.15 p/kWh, or £332/MWh, which is a better representative number for what people are actually paying.

But timeshift seems to be increasingly important.

24.67 pence per kWh, the Energy price cap (fixed till 30 June 2026) is a better representative number for what people are actually paying.

If you fixed at 33p, sucks to be you, my electricity has been free to negative all day.

Turns out I'm actually on 20p from a fix from last year, I was just grabbing some representative numbers off the website. Also this discussion has reminded me to put in a meter reading.

Like a gambler who only talks about their wins, people on these smart energy plans on the few days it goes very cheap only seem to pipe up with the current low unit price, and never mention their longer-term moving-average unit price...

17.1p (last 6 months) no battery, no timeshifting

Very impressive! My smart meter install is happening next month. Can't wait to save 9p/kWh!
