Can my business join Shape Shifters: Export?

It's great to hear you're interested in joining Shape Shifters: Export! Here's a few joining criteria - plus the kind of businesses it works best for.

Joining criteria

Shape Shifters: Export is for businesses that:

are an Octopus Energy for Business customer

have a maximum capacity of less than 150 kWp

have a working smart meter, or other export-compatible meter

aren't receiving Feed-in Tariff in payments

It works best for businesses that have battery storage

That's because you can charge up your battery when energy prices are low. Then, sell it later in the day when prices are higher.

These are the types of businesses we expect to benefit the most.

It also works if you generate your own energy

Through solar panels or wind, for example. You can sell any excess energy you generate to the grid.

But, you might find that Panel Power suits you even better. You can sell your energy for a simple flat rate of 8p, all day. So you can profit on your power, no matter what time you produce it.
