Octopus Energy tariff guides
Explore all Octopus Energy tariffs, from standard variable and fixed options to smart tariffs for EVs, heat pumps, solar panels and home batteries, and find the ones that could suit your home.
Everyday tariffs
Tariffs for your household electricity and gas, from standard variable and fixed options to smart tariffs that follow wholesale energy prices.
Daily rates linked to wholesale prices, often sitting well below the price cap.
Best for reliably low everyday rates
The standard variable tariff and simplest starting point — no smart meter or setup needed.
Best for a no-fuss switch
Prices that change every half hour, rewarding you for shifting heavy use out of peak.
Best for households that can avoid peak
Electric vehicle tariffs
Lower overnight electricity rates, with either a fixed off-peak window or smart scheduled charging.
A six-hour cheap window, with Octopus scheduling your charging via your car or charger.
Best with a compatible car or charger
A fixed four-hour overnight cheap rate. No smart charger or compatible EV required.
Best for a simple fixed window
Solar export tariffs
Export tariffs that pay you for the electricity your solar panels send back to the grid.
Lock a flat export rate for 12 months. The simplest option for solar-only homes.
Best for solar-only homes wanting predictability
Half-hourly export prices that spike on sunny afternoons when wholesale demand is high.
Best for smart export when prices peak
A higher fixed export rate between 4pm and 7pm, and a lower rate the rest of the day.
Best for battery homes exporting in the evening
Solar + battery tariffs
Combined import and export tariffs for homes with solar panels and a battery, helping you store electricity when rates are lower and export it when rates are higher.
Flux, fully automated — Octopus manages your battery’s charge and discharge for you.
Best for hands-off battery homes
Three daily price bands for import and export. The sweet spot for solar-plus-battery setups.
Best for solar-plus-battery homes
Heat pump tariffs
Designed for homes with a heat pump, with several lower-rate windows throughout the day to help keep heating costs down.
Three off-peak windows a day at a low rate, built around how heat pumps run.
Best for homes with a heat pump
