Meet Octo-Girl, the comic hero made by one of our young fans
Octo-Girl, the sustainable Santa delivering heat pumps.
Sometimes the best things land in your inbox when you least expect them. We opened our emails one day to find a hand-drawn comic about Santa delivering heat pumps across the UK, and were amazed.
Catalina is a 13-year-old from Bath who turned her passion for renewable energy into art. Her comic introduces "Octo-Girl" and imagines a world where Santa's sleigh is loaded with our very own cosy heat pumps.
How It Started
When we spoke with Catalina's mum Marcelle, who works in renewable and low carbon technologies at a University, we found out her passion has roots in her mum's work. Marcelle shared that "she's picked it up from me, but she's passionate in her own right." Years of conversations about sustainability and renewables clearly made an impact.
Catalina simply sat down and started drawing because, as she told us herself, "she just loves Octopus Energy."
The love runs deep; from our colourful vans to our green mission. The family was previously with another green energy provider, but as Marcelle explained, "she wasn't as excited by them. she honestly just loves the ethos you have." Constantine gets some appreciation too, naturally.
It surprised me, and I'm very proud and impressed by the work she's done!
Proud mum, Marcelle
Thank You, Catalina
We see customers who share our mission for a renewable future every day, but having that passion come from the next generation hits differently. Your comic has brightened our office - and we’re already looking forward to more Octo-Girl adventures.
