Introducing Tenant Power
Supercharging social housing one solar panel at a time
Tenant Power makes solar work for everyone. It's the UK's first tariff that shares the benefits of clean, green energy between tenants and landlords.
Designed for social housing, Tenant Power reduces energy bills for tenants AND offers a landlords a return on solar investment. Win-win!
Both the tenant and landlord will benefit from the solar and battery system. Social housing tenants will save money on energy bills, while landlords generate a return for investing in renewables.
Typical savings for tenants on ‘Tenant Power’ could be up to £200* per year compared to a standard variable tariff.
The discounted rate for tenants is agreed on a case-by-case basis with the landlord once the home's solar and battery systems are installed.
How it works
1. The landlord installs an approved solar and battery system - no complicated tech required
2. The tenant switches to Octopus and agrees to our T&Cs
3. The tenant gets their regular monthly bill including the 'Tenant Power' discount, so they see the benefits straight away
4. Monthly report of income is shared with the landlord to invoice against. Simple!

*For example, a 25% discount off SVT (based on current price cap rates as of May 2025) would be a £200 saving. The discounted rate for tenants is agreed on a case-by-case basis with the landlord and depends on the number of solar panels, the size of the battery and the share taken by the landlord
