HOW DOES IT WORK?

Octopus Flux is an import/export tariff designed to give you the most competitive rates for consuming and selling your electricity and support the grid during peak time of day.

Super cheap rates between 02:00 - 05:00 every day, when you can top up your battery with any extra energy you may need.

A peak rate between 16:00 - 19:00, the optimum time to discharge your battery and export surplus energy back to the grid.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Octo Flux is a three rate electricity tariff combining both import and export.

Octopus Flux is a combination tariff, meaning it’s made up of an import and export tariff. The symmetrical import/export tariffs have three price periods throughout the day.

Yes, it is a flexible tariff. This means the unit rate and standing charges can rise and fall with wholesale energy prices.

When the rates of our flexible tariff changes, the price of Flux will also change. We’ll always give reasonable notice of any changes to your prices, and there’s no exit fees or tie-ins; you’re free to switch tariffs or change suppliers at any time.

There’s no exit fees or tie-ins, so if Octopus Flux doesn’t work for you, you’re free to switch tariffs or change suppliers with no penalties at any time.

You’ll need to have:

  • A smart meter providing us with half-hourly readings
  • A solar system and home battery
  • A copy of the MCS document for your solar system
  • Confirmation your local energy network was notified of your installation *


* This will be a letter or email you got from your energy network, after they were notified by your solar installer.

Yes. Without half-hourly readings, Octopus will not be able to generate your payments and bills.

If you are on a FiT, you shouldn’t need to change tariffs.

There is no limit on the tariff, you can export as much as you like. There will be limitations however on how much energy your system can generate.

IHD’s aren’t always accurate. Octopus’s billing systems will always be more accurate. It is also aware of daylight savings time so you can always trust your bill.

Octopus also have an app that you can install on your mobile device to monitor payments and bills at any time.
