Join me on an amazing journey to rural Kenya with Renewable World! We explored 2 out of 4 remote healthcare centres, witnessing the transformative power of solar energy in communities.

Jason Cassells designed Octopus’ next-generation heat pump factory from the ground up. Drawing on three decades of engineering and manufacturing experience and a doctorate in fluid dynamics, his heat pumps are many times more efficient than a gas boiler, and greener to boot.

Over the next few years, heat pumps are going to become the dominant way of heating in most people’s homes. I chat to one of our lovely customers Aaron, who was able to install the green energy trifecta in his home; a heat pump, solar and battery.

Octopus Energy's incredible team of green-heating maestros are pushing the furthest boundaries of low carbon tech. Why not meet some of the geniuses behind it all (and maybe, if you’re lucky, you’ll catch a glimpse of what they’re working on).

This week, I chatted to our lovely customer Alan, who got his electric car, charger, smart tariff and Electroverse public charging all through Octopus Energy. It’s been a year since Alan got his beautiful Tesla Model Y through our salary sacrifice scheme, so I sat down with him to find out how it’s all been going, and all the great perks of owning an EV.

This week, I sat down with Andy, one of our environmentally-conscious customers. Just like our wonderful customer Alan, Andy has been making strides toward a more sustainable lifestyle by getting an Octopus Electric Vehicle and joining our Intelligent Octopus Go tariff.

We chatted about his experience with Octopus Energy, his transition to electric vehicle ownership through our salary sacrifice scheme, and the biggest changes he's observed in his eco-friendly journey.

We wanted to find out more about our customers’ experiences of the new Shape Shifters tariff. So, we spoke to Bristol’s nobly named Hope Chapel for a chat about how they’re finding life with their new setup.

Here, at the Octopus Energy Equality Foundation we’re so excited to announce our £18,938 donation to Solpowered - a brilliant project dedicated to helping marginalised communities build healthy and sustainable lives.

It works alongside local Zimbabwe charity FACE, supporting low-income communities and healthcare facilities to access green energy.

We’ve released a new tariff with no standing charge. Zero. Zip. Zilch. Nada!

That means no fixed daily payment amount.

Instead, you only pay according to what you use.

We think it’s simple, innovative and what many businesses say works for them.

Assessing the impact that large demand users siting in response to locational prices - moving from South to North - could have on their bills, all GB consumer bills, carbon emissions and the need for new network infrastructure.

Today, the dominant form of heating in the UK is gas boilers. We are very aware of this, so much so that we’re currently one of the nation’s biggest suppliers of natural gas. And as a company who loves our customers we do the best possible job for them.

This paper analyses the results from Octopus Energy’s Saving Sessions campaign - part of ESO’s Demand Flexibility Service and the largest ever consumer flexibility campaign. Over 700,000 customers shifted over 1.86GWh of demand flexibility, proving that consumer flexibility is ready to deliver a low-carbon, cost-effective resource to the grid at gigawatt scale today. We look at key results, including customer response and participation levels, as well as recommendations for the future of the Demand Flexibility Service, due to launch in November 2023.

The GB grid is broken. Renewable developers are facing queues of up to 15 years to get projects connected. In this paper, we make six recommendations - across a number of different areas that should allow networks to make better use of consumer flexibility to manage constraints, provide users with better visibility about where it's most system-beneficial to connect, and changes which should reduce the time it takes to connect.

The New Model Institute for Technology and Engineering (NMITE), is a cutting-edge engineering institute designed to hone the engineers of tomorrow. Read our blog to find out more about our partnership with them.
