For years, we’ve created bespoke smart tariffs for customers with all different kinds of cutting-edge low-carbon technologies.
Octopus Go, for EV drivers, was one of the very first. Outgoing Octopus came a little later: the UK’s first smart export tariff, paying solar customers a great price for sharing their spare green power with the grid.
Until very recently, customers couldn’t combine an Octopus EV tariff with Outgoing Octopus for the simple fact that both tariffs were such stonkingly good deals that combining them was effectively a ‘double discount’. We regularly review our tariffs based on market changes and wholesale energy prices, and recently made the decision to change this.
We’re offering customers on Intelligent Octopus the standard Outgoing Fixed price of 15p/kWh because the grid flexibility their smart charging unlocks means greater cost savings.
But we’d never want Octopus Go customers to miss out – so we created a Lite version of the Outgoing Fixed tariff to give you extra reward for your solar too.
