Re: The energy crisis
For anyone who is on the waiting list for Octopus tracker, their CEO has gave someone a reason on twitter DM.
There is costs that Octopus have to pay for new customers related to "market stabilisation" and these costs currently make their tracker's lose money. Hence they have limited signups and have the waiting list.

In comparison of what Octopus charge me currently, your standing charge is high for for Electricity so not sure who is cheaper over all and whether Octopus prices include VAT.
Gas UR 10.31p/kWh
Gas SC 28.48p/day
Elec UR 35.13p/kWh
Elec SC 38.94p/day

It is a postcode lottery for standing charges. And we still have no choice who to go to for supplies at the moment.

Re: The energy crisis
Had email off Octopus with new figures. Few pence on standing charges. Have a balance of £289 so they said they would not adjust my payments after the support scheme ends. Seems strange because that buffer would not last long. Anyway done my maths and I can actually drop my monthly from £120 to £100 (before support scheme) and have adjusted the figure myself

Not had that email yet, I'm currently paying £67 a month, my balance of £268 won't last long when the support scheme ends.
What's annoying me I still haven't had a monthly statement of the cost and usage for a month, I think I may have messed it up by submitting meter readings too often, so now I will wait 28 days for them to email me to do another meter reading then maybe I will get a statement then?

Re: The energy crisis
you normally get a statement within a day of a meter reading. Maybe it is because you are newly joined I dunno

All I've had is the cost of the gas and electric used, no real statement so far I'm very confused.
Edit - looks like I have more options available to me if logging into the account via browser, so I get some sort of usage figures between meter reading dates.

Re: The energy crisis
Scottish Power has reminded me to send in meter readings on the last day of March. That will generate a statement.
I noticed yesterday that the last £67 payment (of the £400 aid) has been paid into my bank account and not debited from my bill.

Re: The energy crisis
I am astonished.
I learned about trackers from Jaymoss and Chrysalis here.
If you have a smart meter, lecky was 0.01p to 25p (excluding 4-7pm) during 20 hours per day last week and gas is less than 5p per kwh
If you do not have a smart meter, you can still get average prices 25p lecky and under 5p gas.
Why pay more?
And there is a button "move out", if things go to hell, and you are off the tracker in seconds.
My energy bill, from over £650 per month (posted here earlier ) is now under £300
