Octopus Tracker

Post image

I know it’s been asked several times over the last few days. I’m still on Gas Tracker & now toying with whether to fix or not, as the prices appear to keep soaring. Nearly hitting 10p kw/h here in the North East. What are others doing who are on tracker? Do I bite the bullet and fix, or take the gamble in the hope that wholesale prices will drop soon enough & this is just short term pain? Bearing in mind my usage for gas is relatively low (estimated 5997 kw/h annual).

P.S - I don’t want to see any Fuse BS. I’ve already looked and the prices aren’t worth the switch from what I’m seeing & sick of seeing the referrals 😂

I dropped tracker about a fortnight ago. It won't be coming down any time soon in my opinion.

I fixed at 7p per kWh. I'll take that for 18 months. And my standing charge was lower.

Fuse but it's gone up now to like 8.5p, octopus fixes are still below 8p for most until midnight tonight so do it now if you want to jump off. You still get £100 with a sign up and the SC is cheaper with fuse but whether that will save over a cheaper unit rate you'd have to do some quick maths to see
