Octopus Energy Tracker Tariff Price History

Save on energy costs with the Octopus Energy Tracker Tariff

The Octopus Energy Tracker tariff offers customers access to gas & electricity at prices that are below the government cap. These prices follow wholesale rates, and are currently ~30-40% cheaper than the cap. You can get a £50 bonus when you switch to Octopus Energy (see FAQs), and then benefit from energy prices that track wholesale rates. But beware that rates could go above the cap.

In case you were wondering, I don’t work for Octopus Energy. I just read about the Tracker tariff on r/beermoneyuk and signed up because it made sense for me to do so. And then I made these tools so that I and other people on Reddit can track the prices (it initially started with a Google Looker Dashboard that you can find here). If you sign up with my refer-a-friend link*, we will both get a £50 bill credit from Octopus (or you can enter the referral code glad-frog-421). And maybe I will be able to afford to keep this website going.

Frequently Asked Questions about Octopus Energy and the Tracker tariff

To gain access to the tracker rates, you must:​

No. You do not need smart meters to join Octopus and receive the £50 bill credit. However, you need smart meters to join the Tracker tariff.

Because wholesale gas & electricity prices are currently lower than fixed rate prices. Octopus allows customers to pay these rates (with a margin built in for Octopus’ profit)

Yes. That is why I built the comparison dashboard. Keep an eye on prices, and if they go above the cap then you can switch back to the Flexible tariff. However, if you leave the Tracker, you cannot rejoin it for 9 months.

Yes. To switch back, you just choose a different tariff on your account page. Alternatively, email or phone Octopus. However, Octopus states switching to another Octopus Energy tariff may take two weeks.
