Save on energy costs with the Octopus Energy Tracker Tariff
The Octopus Energy Tracker tariff offers customers access to gas & electricity at prices that are below the government cap. These prices follow wholesale rates, and are currently ~30-40% cheaper than the cap. You can get a £50 bonus when you switch to Octopus Energy (see FAQs), and then benefit from energy prices that track wholesale rates. But beware that rates could go above the cap. Get updates of tomorrow’s prices by following me on Discord or Twitter.

Frequently Asked Questions about Octopus Energy and the Tracker tariff
To gain access to the tracker rates, you must:
- Click here to sign up to Octopus Energy* (sign up to the Flexible Ofgem Cap Tariff)
- Apply to join the Tracker
- Be a little patient (it takes a few days for Octopus to switch you over)
No. You do not need smart meters to join Octopus and receive the £50 bill credit. However, you need smart meters to join the Tracker tariff.
Because wholesale gas & electricity prices are currently lower than fixed rate prices. Octopus allows customers to pay these rates (with a margin built in for Octopus’ profit)
Yes. That is why I built the comparison dashboard. Keep an eye on prices, and if they go above the cap then you can switch back to the Flexible tariff. However, if you leave the Tracker, you cannot rejoin it for 9 months.
Yes. To switch back, you just choose a different tariff on your account page. Alternatively, email or phone Octopus. However, Octopus states switching to another Octopus Energy tariff may take two weeks.
