Sell your Electricity with a Power Purchase Agreement
🌿 Did you know that if you generate your own electricity, you could sell your power to us?
🌿 Octopus Energy is one of the UK’s top renewable energy Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) providers - helping generators like you sell clean electricity with ease.
What is a Power Purchase Agreement
A Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) is a contract between an electricity generator and a customer - in this case, an agreement between us (Octopus Energy) and you, the generator.
Under a PPA, we agree to buy the energy you export back to the grid at a pre-agreed price per MWh, for a length of time we negotiate together. It’s essentially a friendly, fixed-price handshake that helps you plan your revenue while helping us bring more lovely green electrons to our customers.
And why is it amazing
With our fixed or indexed rate, you get steady, predictable income for the entire contract. It shields you from market downturns while helping us push forward with our mission to decarbonise the grid, boost UK energy independence, and support truly sustainable energy production. Also, you'll be getting one of the most reliable Power Purchase Agreements rates in the UK.
