Octopus is giving away free electricity tomorrow - Fill your boots

We're planning on force charging our batteries at 1PM with the free electricity from the grid and then selling it back to Octopus at a higher rate at 4PM.

You can do the same if you have batteries and an export tariff or just charge up your EV or get the washing on, etc.

Octopus third Free Electricity session is Wednesday 21 August from 1-2pm. (Smart Meter is required)

To take part, all you need to do is sign up before 1pm tomorrow if you have not already signed up, then get ready to power up.

Free Electricity... what's the catch?
During these super-green sessions, all the electricity you'd normally use will cost the same. Any extra power you use won't cost a thing. That means you can go to town on all those electricity-hungry household tasks, knowing you won't clock up a big bill afterwards. Just make sure you do so safely.

How does it work?
1. Sign up with the email sent by Octopus.
2. Octopus will email you the day before the session to tell you when it starts.
3. When the time comes, make every minute count. In other words, stick the vacuum on, run the heat pump or tackle that mountain of laundry.
4. Octopus will credit your energy account within 14 days for the value of extra electricity you used.

How will I know how much free electricity I use?
After the session ends, Octopus will email you within seven days to confirm how much free extra electricity you shifted in the hour.

When will I be credited for the extra electricity?
Octopus will credit your energy account within 14 days for the value of extra electricity you used and you'll see this added to your balance.
