Octopus Switch Guide is an independent UK energy information site. We explain how Octopus Energy's referral programme works, compare their tariffs against other suppliers, and help people make informed switching decisions.
This site is run by a UK-based energy enthusiast who switched to Octopus in 2024, saved money, and decided that explaining the process clearly might help others do the same. The referral link on this site generates £50 credit for both the new customer and the referrer — that's how this site is supported.
We are not affiliated with, endorsed by, or employed by Octopus Energy Ltd. All information is checked against official Octopus sources, which are linked throughout the site. For the definitive terms, always check octopus.energy directly.
Content is reviewed and updated regularly — at minimum when Ofgem price cap changes are announced, when Octopus launches new tariffs, and when the referral terms change. The "last updated" date on each page reflects when that specific page was last reviewed.
If you have a question, correction, or suggestion, you can reach us via the site's contact channels.
