Octopus Agile: Get Paid for Electricity – 25th July

Octopus Energy customers are about to get paid to use electricity tomorrow (25th July) thanks to plunge pricing – and yes, you read that right.

If you’re on the Octopus Agile tariff, you’ll see negative pricing between 8am and 4pm in your region. This means wholesale electricity prices have dropped so low that the grid is essentially paying you to consume energy. Perfect timing to run the dishwasher, charge your devices, or do that load of laundry guilt-free.

Here’s the thing: Agile pricing updates daily and ties directly to wholesale rates. When renewable generation is high and demand is low (like during windy or sunny spells), you benefit immediately. Even better, there’s a price cap protection guaranteeing you’ll never pay more than 100p/kWh during peak hours.

The catch? You need to be on Octopus Agile already – this isn’t available to standard tariff customers. Each region has different half-hour slots, so check your app to see exactly when negative pricing hits your area.
