Octopus Energy

We're building a community of 113 new Zero Bills homes together with GS8 with: ✅ No energy bills for 5 years ✅ Heat pumps, solar & battery installed ✅ A groundbreaking communal microgrid, letting the homes share their cheap solar power with their neighbours

Nosotros lo tenemos claro: el almacenamiento🔋es clave para aprovechar al máximo las energías renovables. Esta mañana, en el Congreso Energy Revolution de AVAESEN, Carlos Costa Rausa, nuestro director comercial, lo ha explicado en detalle: en Octopus Energy estamos centrados en soluciones de almacenamiento detrás del contador para hogares y pymes. 🏘️ Con la bajada del precio de los excedentes y también del coste de las baterías, más del 10% de nuestros clientes ya se las han instalado. Y esto es solo el principio: en países como el Reino Unido, eliminar el IVA ha acelerado su adopción. En España, necesitamos medidas similares para que el almacenamiento sea una pieza central de la transición energética. 🏭 En el ámbito industrial, las baterías son también una solución clave para tres perfiles de empresa: - Sin fotovoltaica, pero con necesidad de optimizar consumos. - Con solar, pero sin opción de verter excedentes. - Con compensación de excedentes, pero que quieren ir un paso más allá con tarifas inteligentes. Gracias a AVAESEN por la invitación y al resto de participantes de la mesa "El futuro del almacenamiento y nuevos modelos de negocio. ¡Seguimos impulsando la revolución energética ⚡! #TransiciónEnergética #EnergyRevolution #EnergíaVerde

We think we’re the first energy company to employ qualified social workers. We'll keep doing what we can to bring bills down for all, but customers facing life's toughest challenges need even more support. We spoke with Katie, our head social worker, and her team, about the critical work they do 👉 octo.ps/social-workers

The UK's largest energy company. Which? Recommended for an unprecedented 8 years. The nation's best place to work. These three huge achievements mean more than we can say. Here's how Greg told the team, full text below. Want to join us? https://lnkd.in/e6qkfybY ******* three massive achievements.... ******* Today, I am incredibly proud to announce that due to all the amazing work from our team, we have been awarded the coveted Which? Recommended Energy Provider nod for an unprecedented 8 years in a row. And the kudos goes to our entire team. It’s what you do that delivers this - writing incredible code, designing the best communications, running the finances, dealing with regulators, visiting customers’ homes and so much more - perhaps most critically, really looking after customers in our world class operations. I was told when Octopus was a fledging business with 50,000 customers (but better service than anyone else) ‘it’s easy to look after hardly any customers, wait till you’ve a million’. When we’d a million, I was told ‘wait till you’ve 5 million’. Well, today we have over 7 million customers, and are the biggest energy company in the UK (and that’s not including the nearly 2 million customers we also have in 7 different countries including France, the USA and Japan). We’ve proven that when you build a business on exceptional technology, cradled by an exceptional operating model which enables you to recruit and empower a truly outstanding team, and you really do give a shit about customers, you can drive systemic and permanent change. Also today, we’ve announced that we are officially the largest energy supplier in the UK, with nearly 13 million meter points - 300,000 more than the next biggest. Last month another 50,000 customers switched to us, we installed almost a million smart meters last year and we’re starting to install thousands of heatpumps and solar panels. And it was this week that Octopus was named the UK’s best place to work. I’m even prouder of that than anything else. On a plane, they tell you to put the oxygen mask on yourself before helping anyone else, because you can’t help others until you look after yourself. And it’s the same here - by building a workplace and culture that is better than elsewhere, we are in a better position to look after customers. We’re of course not perfect - anyone with a lot of customers, and a lot of people, will make mistakes in some places. We can always improve our service and improve what it’s like to work here and we need to ensure we’re as impatient for improvement and innovation as we were on day one. But let’s take a moment to be proud… I’m immensely proud to work with such a dedicated team - we’re optimistic, smart and caring - there’s a long way to go in the fight against climate change, but Octopus has always been a beacon in the fight. I hope you’re proud to be one of the ones carrying it, I know I am.

“What gets me out of bed in the morning is helping people”. Bliss installs Octopus Energy heat pumps for our customers. Today, she had the huge honour of addressing the Prime Minister at the govt’s Plan for Change announcement. We couldn’t be more proud! 🐙 Bliss decided a degree wasn’t for her & became a plumber. Now she installs heat pumps, solves complex problems, and sometimes she even buys flowers for lovely customers. We’ve created 3,500 such fulfilling green jobs this year alone: not just meaningfully helping the UK towards its climate goals but also making a difference to people’s lives every day. We’re looking for more brilliant people like Bliss.

Leonie, unsere Customer Love Expertin, hat stets ein offenes Ohr für die besonderen Anliegen unserer Kund*innen. Mit viel Herz und Engagement hat kümmert sie sich jeden Winter um ein ganz außergewöhnliches Projekt: unsere Heizdecken-Aktion. 💛❄️ Die Idee dahinter? Die steigenden Energiekosten stellen viele Menschen vor große Herausforderungen. Besonders in den kalten Wintermonaten fällt es oft schwer, die Heizkosten zu tragen. Eine einfache, aber wirkungsvolle Alternative: Heizdecken. Sie verbrauchen deutlich weniger Energie als das Heizen einer ganzen Wohnung und können helfen, Wärme zu spenden und gleichzeitig Kosten zu senken. 🙌🏼 So möchten wir Menschen dabei unterstützen, in der kalten Jahreszeit warm zu bleiben – ohne finanzielle Belastungen weiter zu verschärfen. Unter dem Hashtag #WärmeTeilen laden wir jetzt alle Empfänger*innen ein, ihren persönlichen Heizdecken-Moment mit uns auf Social Media zu teilen. #Heizdecken #Energiesparen #CustomerLove

Bleibt gespannt, denn wir halten euch schon bald mit weiteren Updates auf dem Laufenden. 💚 #überschwemmung #energiewende #umweltschutz

Live from COP29, Octopus Generation CEO Zoisa has great news: In just 2 years we’ve invested $2 billion in offshore wind & plan to hit $20 billion by 2030. Sierra Leone’s govt. has our plans for their first wind farm - a huge step towards Idris Elba's vision for Sherbro Island & an important milestone for a country where just 5% of rural areas have access to electricity.

Building low cost electricity generation where it’s needed doesn’t have to take a long time – but we need to cut the red tape. In just two days, we put up a wind turbine in the middle of London to power Britain Remade's brilliant community event & prove its possible. Fan Club customers save £200+ a year through their local wind turbines already. It's popular too – over 30,000 individuals and communities have told us they want in. We need to to build more wind & unlock zonal pricing to get these discounts to everyone. More about Britain Remade here: https://lnkd.in/gg6tpGaA
