November: Octopus Energy confirmed that it will take on Bulb's 1.5 million customers a year after the latter firm was placed into special administration. Bulb Energy customers will still be managed by Bulb's team. As their turbines can only generate enough electricity for a certain number of local households they are limiting the number of customers to 400 in the Yorkshire YO43 postcode area and 400 in the CF81 and NP24 postcode areas.

The Octopus Fan Club is available for customers who live in Fan Club eligible postcodes, have a working Smart Meter and are on a standard fixed or flexible Octopus Energy import tariff. April: The energy provider made its first investment in a large UK offshore wind farm, and said it would 'massively ramp up' similar operations over the coming year. Residents in some UK coastal towns are being offered cheaper power bills – if they accept the intrusion of offshore wind turbines. London, Thursday 21st April 2022 - Octopus Energy Generation today launches ‘Plots for Kilowatts’ as it calls on landowners to register interest in hosting an onshore wind turbine, with Octopus matching this up with community demand. By encouraging households to use more electric when it is cheaper (50% cheaper at windy times) there is less need to have wind turbines sitting idle.He said: “There is less to this than meets the eye. Due to the low quality of wind as a fuel source, and high capital expenditure, operational expenditure, and grid management costs, electricity from wind power is extremely expensive and drives up all consumer bills very significantly. Developing all this new onshore wind energy would be the equivalent of building a large nuclear power station. It would provide enough home-grown, cheap, green energy for 1.85 million homes - or the combined population size of Birmingham and Manchester.

Octopus Energy Group has announced it is launching its green tariff, ‘Fan Club’ in the US and Germany. Octopus Fan Club is compatible with our “Octopus Outgoing Smart Export Guarantee” export tariff but no other Octopus export tariffs. The Octopus Fan Club is a smart product and so you cannot be on any Octopus Smart import tariffs whilst on the Octopus Fan Club. We can't wait to bring Fan Club projects to every community that wants them but, for now, it's only available to Octopus customers who live near our current fans. If you’d like to see the Octopus Fan Club launch in your area, add your details to the waiting list. This fan is actually stronger than it looks providing a similar amount of wind flow as the Lasko Tower Fan. This is a chargeable fan so you will need to charge this after several hours of use. The biggest downside here is that the fan needs to be clipped directly to the screen ( or onto the speakers for the Peloton Bike+). Double Plus and Crostice Fans Octopus Energy launched to the public in April 2016. It supplies 100% renewable electricity and gas to over 1.8 million UK homes. Octopus Energy is the only Which? Recommended energy supplier for a third year in a row, topping the table in 2020. It also recently won Best Utility at the Utility Week Awards. Founded by e-commerce entrepreneurs, Octopus Energy has a different starting point to other suppliers, aiming to redefine what is possible for consumers and the system by using technology and data to deliver the best products and experiences.Favourites on the octopus’ menu include crabs, shrimps and lobsters, but they will sometimes eat larger prey, too, such as sharks. When going for grub, octopuses typically drop down on their prey from above, and then use the powerful suctions that line their arms to pull their victim into their mouth. It’s a modern technology that is going to drive the future, and I like that as a community you can feel you are part of it.” Independent research carried out by Opinion Matters commissioned by Octopus Energy Generation of a nationally representative sample of 2,000 UK based energy bills payers. Research carried out between 17 March 2022 and 23 March 2022. Octopus Energy adds third wind turbine to its innovative ‘Fan Club’ tariff, providing more people with local, affordable energy

Winder builds on Octopus’ world-first ‘ Fan Club’ tariff which provides cheaper power to communities close to its wind turbines when the wind is blowing. Since launching it in 2021, over 15,000 people across the country have got in touch with Octopus asking for a turbine in their community. Winder, Octopus Energy’s ‘Tinder for Wind’, discovers potential to unleash new homegrown cheap power for 1.85m homes It buys renewable energy (REGO) certificates to match all of its customers' use, including for those whose electricity is matched with PPA contracts. Horror Ocean Creature Bold and striking tee featuring a monster octopus, perfect for fans of the ocean and horror T-Shirt This year alone, homegrown offshore wind up and down the coastline of the country has produced 14% of Britain’s electricity*.REGOs can only exist if a megawatt of renewable energy has been generated. They might not have such a direct source, but behind every REGO, clean, green energy has been generated in the same amount to power people’s homes, and buying those REGOs is another way to support generators so that they can produce more renewable energy. The idea is being pioneered in Grimsby and Skegness, but Octopus hopes to extend it to other coastal towns around the UK if it is received well.

If you have a wind or solar project you’d like to talk to us about, please visit www. octopus.energy/octopus-collective/. We work closely with the communities our turbines are turning in. Through educating local school children on renewable energy, investing in local community funds, or powering local homes and businesses. Independent research carried out by YouGov commissioned by Octopus Energy Generation, of a nationally representative sample of 3,498 UK adults about their attitudes to onshore wind turbines. Research carried out between 7th September and 9th September 2022. People were asked to what extent they would support or oppose the installation of a single wind turbine within ten miles of where they lived if it meant cheaper energy bills.We’ve loved bringing customers out to see the Lincs offshore wind farm. Our customers inspire us massively - they are highly engaged members of the energy system, passionate about participating in the transition to a greener energy future while making savings on their bills at the same time.” This is the latest step in Octopus’ roll-out of local renewable energy. It comes shortly after its announcement of its new partnership with wind turbine manufacturer EWT to repower hundreds of existing older onshore wind turbines in the UK. In the future there’s also potential to bring the repowered wind turbines onto a Fan Club-style model.
