Octopus Tariffs
Octopus Go For EVs
- For customers who own or long-term lease a battery EV or a plug-in hybrid vehicle.
- Offers five hours of cheap energy each night and reduces costs to around 2.6p per mile. 8.5p/kWh off-peak.
- Super cheap electricity between 12.30am – 5.30am every night.
Octopus Fixed For Homes With Solar Panels
- This export tariff pays 15p/kWh for every unit exported to the grid, providing peace of mind and predictability.
- Available for homes with solar on its own, or with any combo of battery storage, EV or heat pump.
- For homes without a battery, home demand will be prioritised and any extra will go to the grid.
Cosy Octopus For Heat Pumps
- Keeps homes warm for less with super cheap rates, 3x a day – eight hours total.
- Three cosy periods of super cheap rates between 4am – 7am, 1pm – 4pm and 10pm – 12am everyday, 51% cheaper than the day rate.
- A peak rate between 4pm – 7pm, 45% more expensive than the day rate, meaning the more electricity shifted out of peak times, the greater the savings.
Agile Octopus For Flexible Energy Use
- For homes that can use more of their electricity when it’s cheaper and greener, outside of peak times of 4pm-7pm, often using smart home tech like solar or batteries.
- Customers get access to half-hourly energy prices, tied to wholesale prices and updated daily. So when wholesale electricity prices drop, so do their bills.
- Agile prices flex but are capped at £1/kWh, although a typical household in Winter 2022-23 paid around 35p/kWh average.
Octopus Flux For Solar and Battery
- Our import and export tariff which gives the best rates for consuming and selling energy to support the grid when it needs it most.
- Super cheap rates between 2am – 5am every day, when the battery can be topped up with extra energy that may be needed.
- A peak rate between 4pm – 7pm, the optimum time to discharge the battery and export surplus energy back to the grid.
