It is corect, and even if others don't show that number it is real for all of them as an indiction of how different the peak wholesale rates are from the rest of the day...
I’m afraid it is correct.
That ruled out EDF for me when I was looking at what was available. You don’t have to use many peak units at that horrendous rate to tip the scales.
For me Octopus GO was cheaper than my previous supplier on all counts - gas units, power units and standing charges. I was unsure whether the four-hour off peak window would be long enough, but in fact it’s been fine.
Don’t forget everyone, if you’re moving to Octopus, ask me for my referral code and I will DM it to you. Sign up with that and we both get a £50 bill credit.
I joined in June too. There are regular updates on their blog. Smart Meters - The Innovators’ Challenge
If anybody wants an Octopus referral link please DM me to split £100

The Fire Brigade recommend against running washers and driers and night in case of fire. Just sayin.I have made contact with EDF, says it can take 10 days to get in contact. I'm happy with the tariff, just need to teach the wife how to use a washer and dryer during off peak hours
My wife was not keen on the idea. I said if we went economy seven I would fit linked smoke alarms in the utility room and the rest of the house so if there was an issue the utility room alarm and the others in the house would go off which, given my utility is a long way from the stairs, ought to give ample time to get out in the event of a fire.
I recommend against having a dryer lol, have been telling her for ages that a dehumidifier in a room is much better, and the water stops the iron scaling up. I'm a domestic god
EDF isn't that expensive on peak rate, 17.22p/kWh in my area so it should still work out good if we hammer the off peak rate.

How do the peak time costs compare ?
Well having started this thread a few weeks ago my switch to Octopus was completed today. I’m now the user of 100% renewable electricity and carbon offset gas. Which is good. As is the off peak rate for when my Model 3 arrives of course.
Oh - and as an Octopus customer I also have a referral code that I’m more than happy to share to allow other posters (and me of course) to benefit from the £50 each referral credit. Win/Win. Just ask me if you want the link.

I don't think it's too bad really.
