Loyal Octopus 12M Fixed

We're offering fixed price tariffs again, for our loyal customers only. The prices we can offer change regularly, sometimes daily, based on the latest wholesale costs — our prices are currently some of the best fixed prices available, and worth considering if you’d like certainty

Anybody signing up onto fixed tariffs again? ... for 12 months.

I think the Intelligent Octopus Go is variable...

My account has had that notice for months. Tracker is still far far better than the "loyal" fixed. Fixed for me is 29.88 p/kWh. The average for my Tracker has been in the region of 19p.

I'm just a bit sensitive to the Energy pricing with potential War looming...

It could escalate very quickly...

I’m on Loyal Octopus 12M fixed for gas. IO for electric. Best of both worlds.

I'm certainly keeping an eye on both the Tracker and 12M Fixed rates for gas & electric.

I checked my actual stats, I've been logging them in Home Assistant/Grafana for just over 60 days now:

• Tracker electricity average 17.1p, 12M Fixed 29.88p (~42% lower)
• Tracker gas average 4.67p, 12M Fixed 6.86p (~32% lower)

If they start to converge, I'll look at moving tariff but there's a 9 month lockout from Tracker if you move away from it so I don't want to jump the gun! Go & IO don't work for me due to my usage pattern.
