Octopus tariff change notification?

#1

Post by greentangerine »

My current Go tariff expires on the 2nd March.

Haven't had anything from Octopus by email to show me my options nor is there any notification anywhere that I can see on the website or app.

Do they normally send notification or do I assume I'll just get dropped onto the variable tariff and hence need to be somewhat proactive?

I'm assuming I'll be better off (but poorer than now!) on Go given the two EVs and battery system.

A couple few weeks before expiry you'll get a mail offering you Go at the current prices 12p for 4 hours.

Intelligent Octopus does 6 hours at 10p if you qualify? I went on it last week, no complaints! :D

Got my email about a week ago and I'm now set up for an automatic rollover, if you ignore it, or do nothing, you'll end up on flexible.

Unfortunately not; neither car (R135 Zoe and MG5) are supported nor my charger (OpenEVSE).

Keep an eye open. I signed up for notifications when available and still not heard even though i'm on IO now. Hopefully one or the other will show up soon for you.
