Octopus Agile

[Medved_77]

Anyone know if the person responsible for releasing the Agile rates is on holiday currently?

Would be nice to know the published rates for after 11pm before I plug the car in for the evening.

Yeah they’ve been consistently slow the past couple of weeks or more. Used to come through shortly after 4pm, but nowadays you’re lucky to get it before 7pm. Still haven’t got tomorrows rates...

Maybe its free.
Can't charge me if you dont give me the rates!

Wonder what happens if we get to 11pm with no rates?

Is there a default fall back standard rate? Or is it gratis?

Pretty good question actually, I haven't read of one.
Don't suppose anyone has contacted them, it seems to be really late all the time now

 

[Godsense]

Must have heard me, rates came through. Not too bad, will probably charge!

According to their Twitter feed, the delay is caused by the wholesale market data not being released on time, rather than Octopus being slow to publish.

That's odd...auction ran on time.

Octopus Energy app latest release apparently has Agile rates on it.

I'm assuming they are probably on holiday with the same person that does the pairing of meter data to account numbers, as I've been waiting a month for them to update my account!!!

All it seems to do is just display their normal web page - no different from a browser.

Those Saturday morning rates look good.

Those Saturday morning rates look good.

Sunday morning, in fact the whole day, is looking a bit more like it

That's what I've bet on. Been drawn in by the 2230 2.71p. only been on Agile a few weeks and it's drawn me in!

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.

To right a wrong: Just an update on my previous post. I’ve checked my facts and I’m wrong.

Epex and Nordpool have shared orderbooks and the prices are the same. You can’t directly compare the half- hourly rates and the hourly rates because they’re traded separately. It’s not just a calculation of hourly against half- hourly.

Epex is the best website to see the actual HH prices because Nordpool doesn’t show them on its website.

My suggestions if you want an early heads-up / indication:

1 - 2 Days Ahead
Epex does have a 'continuous' option.
Nordpool hourly rates (see note above).
Octopus Watch App - is making predictions if you pay for the service.

2 - 14 Days Ahead
Guy Lipman's Forecast. Guy has a good blog to read too.
BM Reports - When the lines get nearer in the middle, prices are lower (lower demand NDFD/TSDFD and higher surplus OCNMFD)

Looks like we'll be paid to use Electricity between 2am-3am tomorrow morning:

3.00am-3.30am: -0.23p/kWh
3.30am-4.00am: -0.33p/kWh

These are my predicted rates for region N (South Scotland) anyway. YMMV.

Definitely some negative pricing if the hourly N2EX auction outturn is anything to go with
