Outgoing Agile with Intelligent Octopus Go import tariff

JayC

Has anyone successfully tried the above Octopus combination with WW? Any conflicts?
I'm not an API guru so am concerned with both doing calls would they play nicely with both active in WW. Potentially there is an opportunity to use WW to not just ease life but to print money over the winter...
Experiences sought, opinions welcome.

JayC This is a dynamic export rate?

I thought that wasn't worth it compared to the standard export fixed at 15p?

JayC

admin Indeed it is dynamic. I do not have historical data to answer your question factually. My hypothetical thinking is this:
In the winter i’ll likely be able to sell no more than 7kWh @ 15p = £1.05 on the fixed
Were I able to sell 5kWh at £1.50 on Agile (toward the top end I appreciate) that is a significant win
.

JayC according to Octopus, the highest export rate since last October is 31.86p/kWh, but it only seems to average around 16p/kWh during the 4-7pm peak for last winter.
TBH I'm not sure it's worth the trouble.

I was on Agile Outgoing. On paper it looked like I would be exporting at peak hours so that would be the best rate. The reality was, I averaged 7p/kWh exporting. So now I am on Fixed Outgoing at 15p/kWh

YMMV

Same here. Agile with fixed export seems best for me. I considered IOF but held off to see how others got on as I thought Octopus would optimise it for their benefit. That seems to be the way it played out. I'm happy to stick with Agile.

The graphics here https://www.octopriceuk.app/agileOutgoing demonstrate very well what you have all alluded to. Thank you.
I'll stick with IOG and the 15p fixed out.
