Octopus Energy’s 1.8 million customers are being urged to help combat the UK’s extreme heatwave—potentially hitting 40°C—with smart energy choices. Thanks to a surge in participation, smart meter users have already eased grid pressure by shifting usage away from evening peaks. Now, Octopus is launching another “Saving Session,” letting 1.2 million customers earn 52p per kWh saved by reducing use between 7:30 and 8:30 PM. With 440,000 connected devices and smart tariffs automatically adjusting, customers are delivering up to 4.5 gigawatt hours of grid flexibility—proving that a responsive, green energy future is already here, powered by everyday participation.
