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. 3 periods are drawn from part of the calendar rather than all of it: Oct 2022 (4 of 31 days), Nov 2022 (6 of 30 days), Sept 2026 (12 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 Tracker 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.

August 2026£72.04£69.90+£2.13

Both columns cost the same 2,500 kWh a year on the typical household consumption pattern, on a direct-debit basis — the basis the cap itself is set on. A negative difference means this tariff was cheaper. The cap is a cap on what you can be charged, not a price anyone is billed, so this compares this tariff against the maximum a capped tariff could have charged the same household.

About Octopus Tracker

Variable electricity rates tied directly to wholesale prices. Prices update daily, giving you access to lower rates when wholesale costs drop. Octopus Tracker offers a transparent pricing model: your rate is based on what Octopus pays for electricity on the wholesale market, each day Octopus sets a new rate from current wholesale prices, and you can see how wholesale prices affect your rate. Tracker rates can fluctuate. While you can save when wholesale prices are low, rates can also rise when wholesale costs increase, so this tariff carries more price risk than fixed-rate options.
