My Top Pick Deals
I get many of you want me to tell you which deal to go on but honestly it really is important you see each video and make sure the deal fits you perfectly HOWEVER if you want to know the cheapest deals for cost per kwh it goes as following, AGILE followed by Intelligent Go Octopus then Octopus Go. Of course, as your see when you watch the videos below the first one comes with some down points and intelligent isn’t open to everyone.
As an Octopus energy customer and user, I’m happy to recommend them as a provider for electric and gas at home & business.
Octopus has 4 special deals for Electric car customers and 1 special deal for Heat Pump customers and a special deal for customers who have solar and battery storage all the deals are listed below.
Octopus GO
The first is Octopus Go offering 10p electricity from 00:30 till 5:30 Peak electric cost depends on your region and the costs have listed at the bottom of this page. Once you switched to Octopus using my link https://share.octopus.energy/straw-moon-586 you can then go to Octopus.energy/go to start your switch to go.
Octopus Agile
We have octopus Agile these rates changed half-hourly and follow wholesale prices per day I’ve seen as low is “-15p” meaning they pay you however it can hit a maximum peak of £1 go switch to this deal firstly sign up using https://share.octopus.energy/straw-moon-586 then go to octopus.energy/agile
Octopus Intelligent (Intelligent Octopus Go)

HUGE Change since this video was made is now you can have octopus OUTGOING or AGILE outgoing if your are a solar or battery customer this gives you BETTER export with outgoing it’s 15p a kWh export
Cosy Octopus (Heat Pump)
This next deal is aimed at heat pump customers it allows 2 hits of cheaper electricity with a higher peak rate. Heat pumps tend to run for most of the day however if you can schedule it to run lower during peak times and full power during the cheaper rates you could really benefit from Cosy Octopus at the time of writing this the rates for my region were as follows
22p day rate
Offpeak (04:00 – 07:00, 13:00 – 16:00 & 22:00 – 00:00) at 11.21p a kWh
Peak 16:00-19:00 at 33.17p a kwh

Octopus Flux (Solar Battery)
This deal is an import and export deal offering different rates of import and export that change through the day if you have solar and battery storage this deal might benefit you. It could also benefit you if you have a lot of battery storage with no solar and are able to charge during cheap rates and export during the peaks to make yourself a little profit the rates below are for my area and can differ slightly from regions.

Octopus Energy Intelligent Vs Ovo Drive Anytime
Hey, look you can see from above and this website I love Octopus Energy but you need to be aware of Ovo Drive Anytime as it could SAVE YOU MONEY the entire point of my website and my YouTube channel is to try to make sure you the audience get the best information I can provide and save some money in doing so. Intelligent and Ovo drive anytime have something in common and that’s not everyone can get them. You will need a charger or a compatible car. My preference as explained in the video below is intelligent if you can get it, as should be cheaper for pretty much everyone however if you can’t get intelligent then Ovo Drive Anytime does have some different cars and chargers and that SHOULD be cheaper for SOME people than octopus go. It’s worth running the calculations yourself as if you have battery storage and solar it gets tricky!
Octopus GO FASTER (Discontinued)
Octopus Go Faster is another cheap rate from octopus offering prices from 11p a kWh to 13p per kWh from 3 hours to 5 hours with varying start times to request this deal your need to email octopus and request entry into the trail the peak rates are the same as go and listed below.
