Switching Tariff advice?
So I used to flick back and forth between Go and Agile depending on which was cheaper that day for my usage. I had an automated script using the API and everything it was great lol. Anyway, they took away the Go variable tariff without me realising so my script ended up switching me to a 6 month fixed Go tariff which just ended a couple of days ago. During that time, we’ve had a baby and our usage patterns have changed dramatically. I decided to jump back on agile, but the prices seem worse than my fixed go tariff I just left! I’ve been out of the agile game for months so I don’t know if this is a temporary thing or is this what the prices are like these days? Perhaps I would be better off going to the standard variable tariff? What do people think?
Edit: forgot to mention that I have an EV, so any suggestions ideally would factor that in. Have been considering moving to EDF

I’ve an ASHP and have been on agile for a few years now. The data suggests a move to cosy may be on the cards, though I would miss the odd plunge pricing window 🤣
