EQUINOX is Octopus Energy's latest cutting edge trial, designed to unlock grid flexibility via heat pumps. The trial, the biggest of its kind so far, will reward customers who want to get involved with unleashing the very greenest in home heating.

At Octopus, we don't just supply energy, we generate it too. Octopus Energy Generation are combining expertise from across the whole breadth of the energy industry to create a kind of generation business that’s never been seen before.

Our cutting-edge trial, in partnership with SP Energy Networks, will pay customers to use more power at certain times when there's excess wind energy being generated.

Is your meter approaching the end of its operational use? Most meters have a ‘certified until’ date which is essentially the same as a ‘best before’ date.

Given that we can't make the sun shine and the wind blow on demand, where is this flexibility going to come from? Energy storage might just be the solution we've been waiting for.
