Yes – FREE for small homes with an up-to-date hot water tank and heating system. Where a bit of work's needed, Cosy Octopus starts at £3,000 (after the Boiler Upgrade Scheme). Cosy 6 is a 6kW heat pump (great for the avg 3 bed home). Larger models coming in next 6 months.

Importing fossil fuels for power has cost the UK too much for too long. We need energy independence: and the key to that is more wind, not more wells. That's why today we're announcing investment in enough green energy to power 1/2 million homes.

🎉🥳 We just made a heartwarmingly joyous call to lovely Laura, our TWO MILLIONTH CUSTOMER... We wanted to celebrate the milestone by giving her a year's free energy. Her reaction shows just how much of a difference affordable (or, free, in her case!) energy really makes 💚

Recently, we took boatloads of lovely customers to one of our offshore wind farms ⛵ Now, the same turbines will give locals up to 50% off their energy when they're spinning fast. Say ahoy to our first offshore Fan Club, for the Grimsby/Skegness coast👉

Soon, @IcelandFoods will be keeping your Yorkshire puds frozen with solar power from Cambridgeshire 🌞❄️ Our solar farm will power ~150 stores this year - not only keeping prices low but saving 23K tonnes of CO2, the same as planting 110K trees per year.

@StopFundingHate Update: our digital marketing head has now excluded this site. We're going to look into ways to minimise this happening again, will actively seek similar sites to block this week, and will continue to specifically block any brought to our attention.

Want taller, stronger, more powerful turbines? 💪 We’re giving the older generation of turbines new life. Adding bigger blades could unlock enough power for hundreds of thousands of homes far faster than building from scratch.

Renewables are consistently the cheapest type of energy: both to build and generate. So why doesn’t the UK have a 100% green-powered system yet? We’re stuck in a gridlock. Find out why, and how we can fix it. 🧵

We built 5 huge pink turbines at #COP28 in just a few weeks - and they're pretty hard to miss! This is the kind of mega-fast green transformation that we need to see coming out in the next couple of weeks.

There's *massive* potential in UK homes collectively using energy outside of busy times. It'll be key to ditching fossil fuels for good. Enter our cutting-edge new flex trial with @NationalGridESO ⚡️ Get paid to do the washing/make dinner a bit earlier.

Octopus Energy – bleeping good service. This radio ad actually got us a handful of complaints (a human handful - just 5) – thanks very much to the ASA for deciding it was acceptable to air. And thanks most of all to our customer Shirley, for being a bleeping delight 💖

🌞 @g__j on ditching fossil fuels: “The first nail in the coffin should’ve been climate change, then it should’ve been the fact that renewables are now cheaper. Now we see this as a national security issue as well – if that’s not the final nail I don’t know what to do.”

Our business has never made a profit as we’re focused on reinvesting to grow our mission for greener, cheaper energy further, faster. We could’ve made a profit this year - but with so many struggling with high prices, now’s just not the time, we hope it’s made a real difference.

Octopus customers' total energy saved was equivalent to turning off the entire city of Bristol for a whole hour - the most impactful dip since Domino’s garlic & herb 👀 - so just imagine the impact if everyone in the UK got involved 🤯
