AgileOctopus
laying the blueprint for a greener, smarter energy system
It’s time to build something completely new in energy – and we’ve already put together the blueprints. The future will be green, smart, flexible and decentralised – rewarding consumers for making the most of energy when the wind’s blowing, and creating innovative ways to store that green power to use when it’s not. Our mission is to bring that system to the world quickly, and make it accessible and affordable to all.
This isn’t some far flung dream. Real people are already experiencing the future of energy today thanks to smart tariffs like AgileOctopus.
The future of energy
With variable half-hourly prices based on the wholesale cost of energy (i.e., what WE pay
for it), AgileOctopus rewards customers massively for using more energy when the grid
is chock full of green, renewable generated electrons, and for using less when the grid is
at its dirtiest (usually between 4-7pm on weekdays).
Instead, it’s a bit like “peak” and “off-peak” train tickets. At peak times, when
trains are busier, tickets can be a little pricier, but if you’re able to travel
off-peak, you can often snag a real bargain.
Just like that, Agile customers are rewarded for being a bit more flexible with their energy
usage – in other words, for travelling “off peak” by shifting their energy consumption by
a couple of hours (running washing machines and charging laptops a little earlier in the
day, or later in the evening).

When AgileOctopus is Effective?
We take day-ahead electricity wholesale market prices, which fluctuate moment-to
moment, and pass those prices (i.e what WE pay for it) on to consumers. We’re
already demonstrating that people’s energy usage can be influenced directly by
half-hourly price signals, encouraging usage when the grid is cheapest and greenest,
with remarkable results.
During peak hours, AgileOctopus customers help take strain off the grid because
they are incentivised to reduce their energy consumption (and therefore the need for
generators to burn so much fossil fuel). This means they are typically much greener than
other consumers.
What’s more, when there’s loads of excess renewable energy in the grid, and
not enough people are using it, Agile’s pricing goes negative, and customers
are actually paid to use energy!
Off Peak Storage Battery
Not only can you make savings by using the off peak electric. You can also store this
electic at the cheap rate and reuse during the day making even bigger savings.
- Store ‘off peak’ electricity at a much reduced cost
- Use the cheaper stored electricity during the ‘peak hours’
- Store cheap energy at night charge your electric car during the day
With energy storage and Outgoing Agile, you can sell your electricity at the most
valuable time for you. Combine 4 kWp of solar panels with battery storage, and you
could earn £436 – over 50% more than the same panels on a fixed 5.5p per kWh rate.
