High Five! Octopus Energy's Fifth Birthday Celebration
To celebrate our fifth birthday, we launched a special competition for five-year-olds. We invited them to create something magical that answers the question, "How do we make the earth a better place?" The winners received a children's Tesla Model S and a year’s worth of free energy for their families, along with our "Going Green with Constantine" book and other goodies
Green workshops with the Octopus Energy Equality Foundation
Last year, we publicly launched 'The Octopus Energy Equality Foundation', our charity that is all about making the world of energy exciting for young people aged 9-18 years old. We offer cool work experiences at our London office, fun, creative competitions and awesome careers fairs to spark their interest. By teaming up with schools and organisations, we help kids see the endless opportunities in the energy sector. Dive into the world of energy and start your adventure.
