How to read this

  • The chart shows the average price of each half-hour of the day. Green bars are the cheapest third, red the most expensive third. Agile usually peaks in the early evening, but the exact pattern moves with the weather and demand.
  • The cheapest three hours are a good place to start when you plan flexible jobs, but always check the actual prices for the day: see UK electricity prices today.
  • Want a figure for your own appliance? Use the cheapest-time tool or the running-cost calculator.

Past averages are not a forecast

These figures describe the last 30 days. They show a typical shape, not what tomorrow will cost. Prices for the next day are published by Octopus at around 4pm.

Where the data comes from

  • Agile Octopus unit rates: Octopus Energy’s public API (developer.octopus.energy). Pence per kWh including VAT, for the region you pick.

Limits

  • These are unit rates only; they do not include your standing charge.
  • We are independent. We are not affiliated with Octopus Energy and we earn nothing from this page.
  • This page is information, not financial advice. If the source cannot be reached we show the last figures we have, with a warning.
  • A simple average treats every half-hour equally. It is not weighted by how much electricity you use at each time.
