Common questions

What are the Agile prices today in South East England?

On Monday 19 October, Agile prices in South East England range from 30.22p at 02:00 to 59.61p at 17:30 per kWh, averaging 39.19p. Every half-hour is listed in the table above.

When are tomorrow's Agile prices published?

Octopus publishes the next day's Agile prices each afternoon, usually around 4pm UK time, once the day-ahead wholesale market has set its prices. This page checks for them every few minutes.

Why are Agile prices different in South East England?

Every region pays different charges for its local electricity network, so the same wholesale price becomes a slightly different Agile price in each region. The shape of the day, with cheap nights and an expensive early evening, is much the same everywhere.

Can Agile prices go below zero?

Yes. When wind and solar make more power than Britain needs, wholesale prices can fall below zero and Agile follows them, so you are paid for each kWh you use. At the other end, Agile is capped at 100p per kWh including VAT.

Do these prices include VAT and the standing charge?

The unit prices include VAT. Electricity VAT is 0% from 1 October 2026 to 31 March 2027, so for now they are the same as the prices before VAT. The standing charge is separate: 53.13p per day on Agile in South East England.

Is Agile cheaper than the price cap in South East England?

The price cap unit rate in South East England is 26.88p per kWh with a standing charge of 52.32p per day (Ofgem, 2026-10-01 to 2026-12-31). Whether Agile works out cheaper depends on how much of your use you can move away from the 4pm to 7pm peak. Our Agile vs price cap page works it out for a typical home.
