Octopus Energy leads the UK in smart energy technology. Plus — if you're thinking about a heat pump or solar system, there's an exclusive referral offer worth £100 in gift cards for you and the person who referred you.
A smart meter is the foundation of Octopus Energy's smart tariff offering. Here's everything you need to know.
Smart meters send half-hourly usage data to Octopus Energy automatically. No more estimated bills — you only ever pay for exactly what you use.
View your real-time energy usage in the Octopus Energy app. See which appliances are using the most energy and identify opportunities to save.
Octopus Energy installs smart meters for free. A qualified engineer will visit your home to fit both electricity and gas smart meters at no cost to you.
A smart meter is required for Agile Octopus, Intelligent Octopus Go, and Octopus Fan Club. It's the key to accessing Octopus's most innovative and cost-saving tariffs.
Smart meters enable integration with home batteries and solar panels. Octopus can optimise when you import, export, and store energy for maximum savings.
Your smart meter comes with a free in-home display unit showing your real-time energy usage and cost. A simple, always-on way to stay aware of your consumption.
Octopus Energy is the UK's leading energy supplier for electric vehicle owners. Their Intelligent Octopus Go tariff is the smartest way to charge your EV.
Six hours of cheap overnight electricity every night (11:30pm–5:30am) for your whole home, plus intelligent scheduling that charges your EV during the cheapest, greenest periods. Compatible with most major EV brands and home chargers including Tesla, Ohme, Indra, and more.
Set your departure time and desired charge level in the app. Octopus automatically schedules your EV to charge during the cheapest periods within your window — you wake up to a fully charged car at the lowest possible cost.
Intelligent Octopus Go doesn't just find the cheapest charging windows — it also prioritises periods when the grid is running on the most renewable energy. Your EV gets charged on the greenest electricity available.
Compatible EV brands include: Tesla, Volkswagen, BMW, Hyundai, Kia, Nissan, Renault, Peugeot, Vauxhall, Ford, Audi, Mercedes, and many more. Compatible chargers include Ohme, Indra, Wallbox, Myenergi Zappi, and others.
Octopus Energy's proprietary Kraken platform is what makes their smart tariffs, real-time billing, and exceptional customer service possible.
Kraken was built entirely by Octopus Energy's own engineering team. Unlike legacy suppliers running on 30-year-old billing systems, Octopus has a modern, cloud-native platform designed for smart energy.
Kraken processes half-hourly smart meter data at scale — enabling tariffs like Agile Octopus where prices change every 30 minutes. No other large supplier can do this at Octopus's scale.
Kraken is so advanced that E.ON, one of Europe's largest energy companies, licenses it to run their UK operations. It's also deployed in Germany, Japan, New Zealand, and the USA.
Kraken uses AI to handle routine customer service queries, freeing up human agents to focus on complex issues. This is why Octopus's customer service is consistently rated the best in the industry.
Kraken orchestrates millions of smart devices — EV chargers, batteries, heat pumps — to shift demand away from peak periods. This helps balance the grid and reduces the need for fossil fuel power plants.
The award-winning Octopus Energy app is powered by Kraken. Real-time usage, smart tariff controls, bill management, Octoplus rewards, and EV charging schedules — all in one place.
