Octopus Energy Gas & Electricity Deals in the UK

Octopus Energy has become one of the fastest-growing gas and electricity suppliers in the United Kingdom, known for its transparent pricing, award-winning customer service and strong commitment to renewable energy. Whether you are looking to cut your bills, go greener or simply get a supplier that is easier to deal with, Octopus is often a popular option for UK households.

Through Energy Plus you can compare Octopus Energy against a wide range of other UK suppliers in one quick search. We help you check whether an Octopus tariff is right for you, based on your exact usage, meter type and location.

Octopus Energy offers a variety of UK gas and electricity tariffs. Availability may differ by region and meter type, but typical options include:

• Fixed Rate Dual Fuel Tariffs – Lock in your unit rates and standing charges for a set term, giving you more certainty over what you pay.
• Flexible / Variable Tariffs – Prices can move up or down in line with wholesale costs, often with no exit fees if you decide to switch later.
• Electricity-Only Green Tariffs – 100% renewable electricity for homes that only require electricity (for example, where heating is electric or you do not have a mains gas connection).
• Gas-Only Tariffs – Competitive gas prices for properties using another supplier for electricity, or for customers wanting to split fuels.
• Smart Time-of-Use Tariffs – For homes with smart meters, certain Octopus tariffs offer cheaper electricity at off-peak times, ideal for EV charging, heat pumps or flexible energy usage.

When you compare with Energy Plus, we show the Octopus tariffs that are currently available for your meter type, fuel type and postcode, alongside other leading suppliers so you can see the whole market picture.

Like other UK suppliers, your Octopus Energy bill is made up of two main elements for each fuel:

1. Unit Rate (per kWh) – What you pay for every kilowatt hour of gas or electricity you use.
2. Standing Charge (per day) – A daily charge that covers the cost of maintaining the network, meter and account services.

Both of these can vary depending on where you live, your meter type (e.g. single rate, Economy 7, smart meter) and the specific tariff you choose. That is why a personalised comparison through Energy Plus is the quickest way to see whether moving to an Octopus tariff could save you money.

Octopus Energy could be a good fit for many types of UK households and tenants, including:

• Families wanting predictable bills – Fixed Octopus tariffs can help you plan household budgets during your contract term.
• Renters who want flexibility – Variable deals with low or no exit fees can be ideal if you may move home.
• Environmentally conscious households – 100% renewable electricity on many tariffs helps you cut your home's carbon emissions.
• EV drivers and smart-home users – Time-of-use tariffs can reward you for using electricity when it is greener and cheaper.
• Online-first customers – Octopus offers a strong digital experience, with simple online account management and billing.

However, the right supplier for you will always depend on live prices and your own usage. Energy Plus lets you see Octopus side-by-side with other suppliers so you can make an informed decision.

Switching your gas and electricity to Octopus Energy using Energy Plus is quick and straightforward:

1. Enter your postcode – Start by telling us where you live so we can find the correct regional prices.
2. Tell us about your current usage – Use a recent energy bill or estimate if you do not have exact figures. The more accurate your usage, the more precise your savings estimate will be.
3. Compare tariffs – We will show Octopus Energy tariffs alongside other UK suppliers, including estimated annual costs and key features.
4. Choose your deal – Pick the Octopus tariff that best matches your priorities (price, green energy, flexibility etc.).
5. Complete your switch online – Fill in a few details and Octopus will handle the rest, including contacting your current supplier. There is usually no interruption to your supply.

Most switches take around 5 working days under the Energy Switch Guarantee, though this can vary. You will continue to receive gas and electricity throughout the process, and you will only ever pay for the energy you use.

Octopus Energy is strongly focused on smart meter technology and innovative tariffs that reward flexible energy use. If you have, or plan to have, a smart meter, you may be able to access additional Octopus deals that are not available to traditional meters.

Benefits of combining Octopus with a smart meter can include:

• More accurate, automated meter readings and bills.
• Access to time-of-use or off-peak tariffs designed to lower costs when demand is low.
• Better visibility of your real-time energy usage so you can spot opportunities to save.

During your comparison, simply indicate if you already have a smart meter or are willing to have one installed, and we will show you eligible Octopus tariffs.

No single supplier is the cheapest for every household all of the time. Octopus Energy is often competitively priced and regularly features in best-buy tables, but the only way to know if Octopus is cheaper for you is to compare live tariffs for your specific circumstances.

Energy Plus checks a wide range of UK gas and electricity suppliers and shows you:

• Estimated annual cost of each tariff, including Octopus.
• Any exit fees or contract end dates to be aware of.
• Key tariff features such as renewable content, smart suitability and payment method.

This helps you see clearly whether Octopus offers a saving or a better overall package compared with your current deal.

Energy Plus is an independent energy comparison service. We are not owned by any supplier, and our goal is to help you find the right tariff, whether that happens to be with Octopus or another provider.

When you run a quote, you will be able to compare Octopus Energy with a wide range of other UK gas and electricity suppliers on factors such as:

• Total estimated annual cost based on your usage.
• Fixed vs. variable pricing.
• Renewable energy content.
• Availability of smart or EV-friendly tariffs.

This gives you the transparency you need to make a confident, informed decision about your next gas and electricity contract.
