Intelligent Octopus Go 12M Fixed June 2026 v1 is a time of use tariff and Octopus Go 12M Fixed June 2026 v1 is a time of use tariff, both from Octopus. They differ in how the unit rate is structured across the day, which is what drives the cost difference for households with shiftable load.
We take a real UK home's half-hourly smart meter data over the previous 90 days and model the bill on each tariff using the supplier's current published rates and standing charges. Standing charges scale with the modelled period; unit rates apply per half-hour using each tariff's rate structure (standard, Economy 7, time-of-use bands, or wholesale-tracking). Full methodology and data sources are linked below.
Octopus publishes per-region rates for both these tariffs across the 14 UK DNO areas. Click through to either tariff page below to see the rates and standing charge specific to your DNO. Some tariffs require a smart meter or have other eligibility criteria set by the supplier.
The cost calculation rebuilds every night using current rates. Page caching is one hour so repeat visits within the day are fast. If a tariff's rates change mid-day, you will see the new numbers on the next nightly refresh.
