Access local green energy through the kraken
In addition to sourcing renewable energy from across the country, Octopus Energy generates green power locally through its revolutionary ‘Kraken’ software. This local power matching means customers access green energy produced near them, avoiding transmission losses over long distances. It also provides revenue for local renewable energy generators, encouraging further investment. By tapping into the Kraken, Octopus Energy customers can enjoy green power that is truly local to them. It builds a greener, smarter grid from the bottom up.

Octopus Energy Referral has designed electric vehicle tariffs to reward drivers who are switching to green transport. With Octopus’ EV tariffs, charging your electric car overnight can be up to 5 times cheaper than daytime rates. It incentivizes EV drivers to charge when demand is lower, balancing the grid. The cheaper overnight charging also makes owning an EV more affordable. By switching to an Octopus EV tariff, you can power your electric car with 100% renewable electricity at competitive rates. Going electric with Octopus is a great way to eliminate your transport emissions.
