Octopus Tracker
Britain's fairest energy tariff
Your prices change every day based on the wholesale price of energy.
Get a transparent look at the true cost of energy – and when the market price drops, so do your bills. Choose Tracker for your electricity, gas, or both.
Track the real cost of energy
We update Tracker prices every day based on an independently published wholesale market price, calculated using our transparent formula. In warmer months, prices tend to be lower, then typically increase – likely double – in colder months.
Enjoy cheaper prices when wholesale prices fall
Unlike standard tariffs that lag months behind the market, Tracker gives you immediate savings when wholesale prices drop.
Price Cap Protect keeps you safe from surge prices
Tracker features Price Cap Protect, which caps the maximum daily price at 100p / kWh for electricity and 30p / kWh for gas. That's a lot higher than Ofgem's energy price cap, so if you can't afford prices to go that high during peaks, you're probably better off sticking with a protected tariff such as Flexible Octopus.
