How to use cheap Octopus Agile slots
Practical ways to shift dishwasher, laundry, immersion, and EV charging into the cheapest Octopus Agile half-hourly windows. Free board; email alerts with a 7-day free trial then 99p/mo.
After ~4pm, check tomorrow's Agile curve for your postcode on the free board (rates from the public Octopus API). Pick the longest low-price window that fits your appliance cycle — often overnight.
- Delay dishwashers and washers with a timer or delay-start.
- Prefer overnight EV charging when the board shows a long cheap run.
- Avoid stacking high loads into the 4–7pm peak when rates spike.
- Use optional email alerts if you only want a nudge on very cheap or negative slots — 7-day free trial, then 99p/mo.
