Octopus Energy

Exciting news… Happy Hours is extending through winter! ⚡️❄️

If you're an Octoplus member (free to join with a smart meter and Direct Debit set up) you can earn tokens towards free power at the weekend by saving energy in our weekday Power Down #SavingSessions.

Over the past few months, our members have been busy baking, washing, charging and hoovering up tons of free power – earning over 8 MILLION FREE HOURS! 💪

But we know winter's when you need it most, so we've found a way to keep the good times (+ free power) flowing until February 14th 2027.

Curious how it all works? We made a video for that. Head to the link below 👇 or search ‘Octopus Happy Hours’ to find out more 🔎🪎

The Eastern Caribbean has sun, wind and ocean in abundance... yet runs on imported oil and diesel.

Fossil fuels shipped in from overseas generate around 90% of the region’s electricity. It’s a bit like living next to an orchard and buying all your apples by boat. Every time global prices jump, the islands feel it first, and households pick up the bill.

So this week at the Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting (CHOGM) in Antigua and Barbuda, we launched the Eastern Caribbean Alliance with the @OECSCommission, @GlblCtzn, @TheSMI and @ECCBConnects.

Building on our partnership with the Government of Antigua and Barbuda, we’re pooling expertise to bring cheap renewables, EVs and batteries to homes, businesses and transport, all run smartly to keep bills down.

It’s the same case we keep making here in the UK, where we import gas from across the world instead of prioritising local generation. Money not spent on imported fuel stays at home. From Antigua to Aberdeen, we’d rather eat the apples we grow. 🍎

10s across the board ✨🎃

We absolutely loved seeing all of your incredible #OctoPumpkin competition entries last week! Thanks to everyone who shared their spooky setups. 👻

Every entry is now with an independent judge - fingers crossed! Lucky winners will be contacted soon, so keep an eye out for that 🤞

To make green energy the obvious choice, you need incredible software talking to brilliant hardware.

That’s why we’re partnering with battery pioneers @catl_official and @AmpaceOfficial to explore the future of home storage. We’re researching next-gen tech like sodium-ion chemistry, high-density cell designs and ultra-long lifecycles, to see how we can make tomorrow’s batteries cheaper and more accessible than ever.

As our CEO @g__j in @Independent this morning put it: “Together, we’re building next-generation batteries where hardware and software work in complete harmony to slash energy bills and speed up the green energy transition.”

And closer to home? We're incredibly excited to launch our very own Octopus Nook home battery next year: it's going to be an absolute game-changer for driving down bills.

But we never stand still. While the Nook transforms homes in the near future, this long-term partnership ensures our clean tech pipeline is always pushing the boundaries of what's possible, all over the world 🌍
