Want to join Octopus Go?
You'll need to:
1
Be an Octopus Energy customer
If you're not with us yet, sign up and you'll join us on one of our standard tariffs initially while we connect all the dots behind the scenes.
2
Have an electric car and a home EV charger
If you're in the process of getting one and have an order number to hand, we can switch you so that you're ready to charge once your vehicle arrives. If you don't have an EV charger, we offer fast expert installation.
3
Have a smart meter we can connect to
If you're a customer of ours already, check what type of meter you have on your online account under 'meters'.
We can connect to second generation (SMETS2) meters, and some types of first generation (SMETS1) smart meters.
If you're not a customer of ours yet, contact your current supplier to find out what meters you have. Don't forget – you need either a second generation SMETS2, or a SMETS1 made by Secure™, to be able to join a smart tariff. What if my meter is a SMETS1 that's been remotely upgraded by my supplier?
If your meter has a Secure logo on the front, we should be able to connect to it – this is a Secure™ SMETS1 meter.

Hang tight while we connect to your smart meter
It generally takes us around 14 days to connect to a smart meter so we can read it remotely – whether it's one we've just installed, or one we're taking over after you switch to us. Read more on this.
5
Accept our Terms & Conditions via email
Once we're connected and getting half–hourly readings from your smart meter, we'll send you an email asking you to accept the Terms & Conditions of Octopus Go to complete your switch. Have a read of our smart tariff Terms & Conditions now.
