Points are interactive: hover, focus or select one for exact values. Shaded band is the cheapest-to-dearest spread within each month; the line is the duration-weighted mean. 2 periods are drawn from part of the calendar rather than all of it: Aug 2026 (29 of 31 days), Sept 2026 (9 of 30 days). A month is partly counted where a version went on or came off sale inside it, and the current month is always still in progress. They are drawn hollow.

Each month shows the version of Octopus Fixed you could actually have signed up to then, so the line follows the tariff through its successive versions rather than any one product code. Older versions carry on publishing rates for months after they stop selling; those are not averaged in, because nobody could buy them. Drawn from the stored daily rollups across every payment method the tariff publishes; where a tariff publishes more than one, the rates above show the direct-debit one and this line sits between them.

About Octopus Fixed

Lock in your electricity rate for the length of the contract. Your unit rate and standing charge are fixed for the term, which protects you from price rises and provides certainty. No matter what happens to wholesale prices or the price cap, your rate stays the same for the full term, so you know exactly what you'll pay each month, making it easier to budget and plan your finances. A fixed tariff is ideal for customers who want price certainty and protection from price rises, those who prefer to budget with fixed monthly costs, people who don't want to monitor energy prices or switch tariffs frequently, and anyone comfortable with a commitment to a fixed rate.
