Octopus Agile

Yes, I'm the same region also. It's even better now if it comes off!
It's Octopus Watch with the £7.99 yearly subscription to get 48 hour predictions.
Just ran the numbers on the last 12 months. Agile was £120 cheaper overall than Go for my actual data.
The savings are there to be had if you make the behavioural changes needed & use OHME/ev.energy/similar.

Let's hope it's not as bad as Octopus Watch is projecting!

Greg is very keen to say it's a straightforward formula to get the Agile rates however I have yet to find the wholesale price that Octopus are using as I, and Octopus watch, find it impossible to predict with any accuracy the Agile rates.
The fact that Octopus haven't published tomorrow's rates should not be a problem, we should be able to work them out using the formula.
I have the wholesale prices and I have the formula but ....

Even using these rates I can't get it right.
Variations of us much as 2.38p in a 30 min period tomorrow. (05:30-06:00 local)
Formula says it should be 8.42p but Octopus rate is actually 10.8p for my region.
I think I feel an email to Greg coming....
I think that's where that site get them from, but Octopus say in 7.5.4 of their T&Cs they get them from Market data | Nord Pool but they only publish hourly rather than half-hourly prices as far as I can see.
When I’ve done the calcs before Octopus = Epex. Slightly different numbers with Nordpool.
Given Nordpool is in the T&C’s and if Octopus have been billing on Epex they might have a bit of a liability one way or another. Jeez. The two markets run different rates so if Octopus have under-billed (overall) then they’re short on revenue, liability to shareholders. If they’ve over-billed we might all be due a refund. I’ll run a couple more checks. Mega screw up by someone. Big data computation calcs to work out the liability / corrections.
I’ll ask my mate Phil

I was using Nordpool rates previously and the variation was even worse.
I averaged the actual 30 min rates to get an approximate Nordpool hourly rate but it didn't work.

If you half filled an SR+ last night you might have got over billed by 12p. It’s a small test & I’m sure over the 17,000 odd HH slots a year there are swings and roundabout lid but still the regulator is keen on people being billed properly.
Not a ‘major’ liability. Easily fixable with v3.3 of the T&C’s and some billing adjustments.

Although...,12p could be 3kWh on the right night and with some careful driving 9 miles? That’s half my commute.
