Most homes could save with Octopus
And it's much easier to switch than you think
More than 50% of homes in Britain are paying for energy at the price cap rate with British Gas, EDF, E.On Next, Scottish Power or OVO. We're the only large supplier to consistently price its standard tariff below the Ofgem energy price cap, a decision that has saved our customers tens of millions of pounds in the past 12 months alone.

We really will look after you
Our customers are at the heart of everything we do. If you're struggling, we're here to help.
Through our £40 million Octo Assist fund, we’ve been able to provide genuine, practical support. We’ve sent out thousands of free electric blankets to keep customers cosy, reducing their need to put on the heating, and are waiving the standing charge for up to 100,000 customers in the greatest need over winter.
But don't take it from us. Here's what customers we've already helped had to say.

The switching was so easy, a few little clicks on the iPad, and done. I just wish I'd done it sooner, that's the only thing

Most homes could save with Octopus
We're on a mission to make green energy cheap.
Most homes in Britain are paying for energy at the price cap rate. We're the only large supplier to price its standard tariff meaningfully below the Ofgem energy price cap, a decision that has saved our customers tens of millions of pounds in the last 12 months.
If you're paying standard variable rates with any large supplier for your gas, your electricity, or both – you'll save money if you switch to Octopus. See our calculations here.
Switching usually takes less than 5 minutes
To initiate your switch to Octopus, get a quote here, select your tariff and provide us with your contact and payment details. That's it! We'll handle the rest and inform your old supplier. We'll keep you informed throughout the process, and you'll receive an email once you're on supply, typically within 2 working days.
Previously, the processes we handled in the background to switch your supplier could have taken up to 3 weeks. But as of the 18th July 2022, Ofgem's Faster More Reliable Switching Project (FMRS) turbocharged switching to just 2 working days for a typical customer. Read more about FMRS here.

Smart meter customers can claim Octoplus rewards worth over £200

Rewards with Octoplus can change throughout the year. For example, you can earn Octopoints for saving energy with Saving Sessions in the colder months and access Free Electricity when the grid is super green.
Last year, Octoplus customers had access to over £300 worth of rewards across the year, which, based on a typical bill, would be equivalent to 17% of annual energy costs.
