Electricity Tracker

The Octopus electricity Tracker tariff links your daily unit rate directly to wholesale power prices, so your electricity price updates each day instead of staying fixed. When wholesale costs fall, Tracker can be cheaper than standard tariffs. When markets spike, your rate rises too.

👉 See the full explainer, live regional rates and historical data here:

On the explainer page you can check:

  • Live daily electricity Tracker prices

  • Regional rates across all UK areas

  • Historical performance charts

  • Plain English breakdown of how the tariff works

Tracker can work very well for households happy with some price movement in exchange for lower long term averages. If you want to see how the electricity Tracker is performing right now in your region, the live data above tells the real story.

Referral information and free credit offer

If you find Energy Stats UK useful, there are a couple of easy ways to support the site and help cover hosting and server costs.

Thinking about switching energy suppliers?

Homeowners who join Octopus Energy using my referral link get £50 free credit after signing up.  Business users get £100 free credit, and if you’re looking at solar or a heat pump, there’s also a £100 gift card through Octopus Tech.

Finally, a £25 gift card can be claimed when having an EV charger installed through Octopus.

“Existing Octopus customer? Find out how you can benefit too. T&Cs apply (only one switching offer per household)”

Or, if you just want to say thanks, you can buy me a coffee.
