Email from Octopus at 17:00 today. It also mentioned the 6 hour cap coming soon (early May) plus another 1p on the standing charge.

Emails are going out, got mine today

 

[Jomarkh]

Not had that yet

30p peak is a bit rough, but I suppose this is only the beginning of the increases, sigh

Agreed, more incentive for me to max out my solar(fit) usage.

Is the fix changing?
I still don't know how a fix rate can change more than a variable rate.

It is a terrible thing - nearly as bad as people gloating that they never pay it.

Has anyone heard about the non-fixed plain Go rates yet ?

I wish I'd waited four months before fixing mine! But I was afraid the offer would disappear.

Isn't hindsight wonderful.

Of course, if I'd known the offer was going to last that long, I'd have waited. But I didn't, and at least I've got the tariff till October rather than not having it at all.
