About us
We're making energy fair, clean, and simple for all using technology.
After attracting more than 5 million customers across nine countries, Octopus Energy is live in the United States. Octopus makes it easy for you to access affordable power as we transition to a clean energy future, through market leading innovation and technology. Founded in the UK in 2016, Octopus Energy has built its global reputation on being an energy tech pioneer and delivering outstanding customer service.
Our people
Our global team conducted a search for the most innovative minds in energy, which led Octopus to the United States, specifically Texas. Our team is local and we leverage our scale and smarts to make energy simple, affordable, and better for the planet. We offer customers appealing incentives to consume power in ways that are better for their wallets, and better for the planet, without impacting their quality of life.
Powering the world's transition to renewable energy
