Campaigning for zonal pricing to bring bills down for everyone
Our CEO, Greg Jackson, breaks down the buzz around zonal pricing; a smarter way to run the grid that could save Brits £3.7 billion a year, slash carbon emissions by 17%, and make energy cheaper for everyone. It’s one of the biggest untapped wins for a greener, fairer energy system. Read Greg’s take in The Times, and dive deeper into the huge benefits of locational pricing on our blog.
Investing in green power, at home and around the world
We’re powering up the planet, from the windy shores of the UK to the sunlit fields of South Korea and France. Recently, we invested in East Anglia One, one of the biggest offshore wind farms on Earth. But that’s just part of the story. We're backing solar in Asia, wind in Europe, and building the green grid of the future across continents.
In the Press
From Greg’s news paper interviews to radio interviews and podcast features, we’ve been popping up all over the place.
Watch Greg's chat with 'Jimmy's Jobs of the Future' where he shares the secrets on how Octopus became a $20Bn giant.
On this podcast 'But Tell Me How', Greg chats the ups and downs, the detail, and the reality of running a business.
