Octopus Export rates (Outgoing) are reducing

[JohnMo]

1st March export rates reduce to 12p/kWh, from 15p. So may need to flip to a different tariff for summer, such as Intelligent Octopus Flux

Inevitable, but a bit annoying as thr current (15p outgoing) rate almost exactly matches the E7 rate (13.8p) effectively making charging and exporting the same which makes organising charging times easy. I just charged at night and exported in the day. 

 

I'll probaly stay on outgoing but go back to fixed rate.

My bill says my 15p outgoing rate is guaranteed til June. Maybe the March drop is for new customers??

Maybe by area or post code?

Existing one year fixed tariffs will continue at 15p but they've been renewing onto variable for months now, which is the one that changes in March.

E.on's tariffs have also dropped, I moved to them from Octopus last August, for 16.5p/kWh, but their new tariff which I'll move to this August is now 13p/kWh 😭

Also with EON, looks like that rate applies only on standard import tariffs, 6p/kWh if you are on their EV tariff?

Yes i noticed that the other day whilst searching, you can't be using one of their smart tariffs which is a bit naff, though I'm on fixed currently, was seeing how much difference there was between charging and not charging the battery over winter (taking into consideration battery wear which for some reason was quite high whilst grid charging, yet haven't lost a percent since just charging up from solar, almost a year, put me off a little from grid charging), and I think if I go down this route again which I may well have to, it might be wise to charge the battery to 50% in november and then switch the system off until mid Feb, as its consumed around 1.5kWh a day just topping itself up to the minimum charge, not ideal!
