Easy & affordable
Just like with heat, the best place to start is by looking at the power you use and ways you can cut back, and looking for a green provider to make sure it comes from renewable sources.
Reduce your electricity usage
Here are our favourite tips to reduce your electricity usage and power carbon footprint without breaking the bank.
Get a smart meter
Smart meters give you access to information and cutting-edge smart energy tariffs that can reward you for cutting back or moving your energy consumption to the ‘greenest’ times of day.
Choose a green electricity tariff
This shouldn’t cost any more, but it means for every kWh of electricity you use, your supplier will invest in 1kWh green electricity generation, helping to transform our grid to a greener one.
All of Octopus Energy’s electricity tariffs are 100% green, so our customers can relax knowing they’ve done everything they can to reduce their power footprint.
Going the extra mile
Install solar panels and a battery
If you want to take this a step further, you couldinstall solar PV to generate your own green power in your home, which you can either use to reduce your bills or export back to the grid to help them go greener, faster.
We’re now offering home solar and battery installation for your home. Find out more here. If you already have solar panels, our Outgoing Octopus tariff rewards you for the energy you export.
