New Octopus Go tariff and off peak options?

[exlatccatsa]

Its only when you really look at threads like this that you realise just how much more the North of Scotland is paying versus the South coast.... and because its colder up here we need to use it more. Logically its completely upside down as most of the energy is coming fron the North. My "Cheap" Agile day yesterday was £1.07 for 9.6kW.. still saved me about 30% on the previous tariff.

Which can make for some very very expensive kwh's if you aren't importing much electricity.

in reality, there’s no prospect of zero draw and the standing charge at 25p/day is high. I calculated the options and Go still came out best for me. I’m pretty much off grid from late Feb to about the end of this month.

Got a result today, Octopus refused to get into a conversation with me over smart meter install and said I’d have to get current supplier SSE to do it, this was a month ago.

SSE said no because their computer told them there was no mobile signal where I live, so I complained to them and got a call back this week. I made the point I can get 2G/3G/4G for at least 2 mobile networks on my phone at the meter point location.

Resulting in confirmation today that smart meter going in next Friday, meaning I can switch to Octopus and use @Mr Miserable ’s referral code !

I can't think that cheering up is something Mr Miserable is going to be interested in unless there's a name change on the cards ...

Surely its just the additional cost of distribution. Bigger geography / smaller population = higher cost per kWh?

I am generally always too late to the party.
Now I have a handful of referral codes to hand out - form an orderly queue please....
