New Year, New Features!
Happy new year to all, best wishes and may you continue to save money on your energy bills!
I've made progress adding more rate information to the site. For completeness I've added two "fixed" tariffs that are not time-of-use tariffs, since this will be a point of comparison for many that are considering a switch to one of the time-of-use tariffs. I've included the history that's available from the API, which goes back to 2019/2020.
Rates are now available for the following products:
- Loyal Octopus (Fixed Rates) - electricity and gas
- Flexible Octopus (Variable Rates) - electricity and gas
I've also added functionality to show historic rates for the Agile and Tracker tariffs. There's graphs that show average daily prices, and a historic lookup page to show agile rates for any prior day. Have a look at the incredible low plunge prices on July 7th, 2023, or Christmas Eve, 2023 when electricity was free for most of the day! I like these rates a lot more than December 1st, 2023, where we briefly saw rates spike above 60p per kWh.
See a summary of historical rates here:
- Octopus Agile - electricity
- Octopus Tracker - electricity and gas
Lastly, I've added a page where you can download this data for your own analysis. A few formats are available, XML and JSON for programmatic purposes, and CSV which can easily be viewed in Excel.
