Switching from a smart tariff to another is OK immediately but only as long as you have been on the prior tariff for +30 days so unless you started your current Agile tariff less than 30 days ago this advice is wrong (Philip Steele of Octopus Energy had confirmed this on another site).My understanding from earlier posts is that one could switch directly from Agile to Go but could not return to Agile within 30 days. Is that how Octopus has interpreted it for other customers?
Now waiting for further response from Octopus.
The forecast Carbon Intensity for tomorrow and the day after is in the 400g/kWh, which is the highest I've ever seen it so I wonder if those Diesel gensets @Glan gluaisne referred to are going to be doing some work tomorrow...Warning Date/Time

We have a number of routine tools we can use to help us do this, this toolkit includes ELECTRICITY MARGIN NOTICES. An ELECTRICITY MARGIN NOTICE is used to send a signal to the electricity market. It highlights that, in the short-term, we would like a greater safety cushion (margin) between power demand and available supply. It does not signal that blackouts are imminent or that there is not enough generation to meet current demand.

An explanation could be that you haven't been on the Agile tariff long enough yet?
I have been on Agile since the spring.I have been on agile since 3rd January and I managed to switch to Go today. Received confirmation.
. Maybe it's 14 days cooling off period?
MetOffice said:26th Jan - 9th Feb
Confidence for this period is low, though there is a signal for weaker than average westerly winds with Atlantic systems likely to track further south than normal.
Switch from Agile to Go approved just now, starting at midnight, having been refused yesterday. IIRC, species of the order Octopoda have a brain in each arm.I have been on Agile since the spring.
This is where we see the downside of Agile. If only Octopus would either:
- Increase the 2.2 multiplier and guarantee 1h at 5p each day; or
- Allow you to forward but some HH blocks.
You can only switch to the standard Octopus Go or Agile tariff online via each of their pages.I've looked all over the Octopus website, have even switched to the old dashboard, but can't find a way to switch tariff online. Can someone please point me in the right direction. Maybe I just can't see the wood for the trees!
