Octopus Agile — negative electricity prices at Octopus

Check Octopus Agile now for negative electricity prices at Octopus.

Octopus Agile is a flexible electricity tariff that passes through half-hourly wholesale prices, so when renewable generation is high and demand is low you can see very low or even negative rates (known as Plunge Pricing). That means during those negative half-hour slots you could effectively be paid to use electricity — useful for running dishwashers, charging an EV or shifting other flexible loads into those times.

• Half-hourly pricing updated daily via the Octopus app.
• Plunge Pricing pays customers when wholesale prices fall below zero.
• Tariff includes protection so you will not pay more than 100p/kWh during spikes.

Check your Octopus app or account to see the exact negative-price slots for your region and shift usage accordingly.
