How do smart meters help me save?

Smart meter In Home Display screen

Unlock smart tariffs, competitions and trials that make the most of the UK’s green energy, helping you to spend less on your bills.

See what you're using clearer than ever through your online account and Octopus app, and your IHD screen can give handy info about your energy costs at a glance.

Octopus energy bill

Your meter sends us readings automatically, so you don’t have to. (Don’t worry, you can still spin our meter reading wheel of fortune).

Say goodbye to estimated bills. With automatic readings, you’ll always be charged for what you’ve really used, and you’re in control of how often your meter sends readings.


Why are we doing this during an energy crisis?

Smart meters give people better control over their energy and super accurate bills, even more critical while global energy prices are so high.

But it's more than that: smart meters also make the whole energy system cheaper and greener to run. That's key to building a sustainable system that'll protect us from crises like this in the future.

We’re relentless about keeping costs down to pass on savings to our customers – particularly now. We’ve absorbed £150 million in high energy costs so far in the crisis to give our customers the cheapest variable tariff of any major supplier. And we've created an arsenal of support schemes to help those struggling the most.



Frequently Asked Questions

How can I book a smart meter appointment?

×

We release thousands of new appointments every week. Once you've registered your interest, we'll send you an email when we have appointments available in your area (and don't worry, we won't inundate you with emails).

You can also head to your online account to get booked in - you'll just need to choose a date and time that works for you and we'll sort the rest

My smart meter wasn't installed by Octopus, will I be entered?

×

Yes! As long as you have a smart meter installed, and it's registered in our system, you'll be entered into the prize draw.

What if I've registered my interest more than once?

×

Each household entered into the prize draw will get one entry, regardless of how many times you have registered your interest in a smart meter.

What if my smart meter is not in 'smart' mode?

×

As long as you've got a smart meter, you'll be in the draw – even if it's not connected and sending us automatic readings right now. The government is gradually remotely upgrading the earlier generation smart meters, so that they can stay smart with any energy supplier. So if yours was once smart and stopped working when you moved suppliers, it'll be smart again in the not-too-distant future.

What if my home isn't eligible for a smart meter yet?

×

As more and more of the UK goes smart, the government is working fast to strengthen the signal in more areas and expand coverage. If you're in an apartment building or your meter's far away from your home (e.g in an outdoor meter cupboard) new long-range communications hubs and other extenders will eventually hit the market so that smart meters should soon be an option for you too.
As long as you're registered on our list to get a smart meter, we'll let you know as soon as a smart meter will work in your home. And in the meantime, you'll be in the draw the win a year's free energy every month!
