What is the Octopus Energy Referral Code?

Octopus Energy's refer-a-friend scheme rewards both the new customer and the person who referred them. When you sign up using a valid referral code or link, £50 is added to both accounts once your first payment clears.

💷

£50 for New Customers

Sign up via our referral link and you'll receive £50 credit on your first energy statement after your first payment.

🤝

£50 for the Referrer

The person who shared the code also gets £50 when you switch. There's no limit on how many referrals can be made.

All Tariffs Qualify

The referral bonus applies whether you choose a fixed, flexible, agile, or any other Octopus Energy tariff.

Octopus Energy Tariffs Explained

Not sure which plan to choose? Here's a quick guide to the main Octopus Energy tariffs.

Most Popular

Flexible Octopus

A standard variable tariff that tracks Ofgem's price cap. Rates can change quarterly but there's no exit fee — great if you want flexibility.

Price Certainty

Fixed Octopus

Lock in your unit rate for 12–24 months. Ideal if you want protection against price rises and predictable bills.

Smart Meter Required

Agile Octopus

Half-hourly prices that follow wholesale electricity costs. Can be very cheap (or even negative!) during low-demand periods. Best for flexible households.

EV Owners

Octopus Go

Cheap overnight electricity (typically 00:30–05:30) for charging an EV. Requires a smart meter.

EV Smart Charging

Intelligent Octopus

Integrates with compatible EVs and chargers to automatically schedule charging at the cheapest times. Often the best EV tariff available.

Transparent Pricing

Octopus Tracker

Unit rates adjust daily based on wholesale prices. Extremely transparent — rates are published the day before. Can save a lot when wholesale prices drop.

Heat Pump / Storage

Cosy Octopus

Offers cheap electricity during off-peak periods for customers with heat pumps or storage heaters. Requires a heat pump and smart meter.

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about the Octopus Energy referral scheme.

When do I receive the £50 credit?
The £50 credit is applied to your Octopus Energy account once your switch completes and your first direct debit payment has been taken. This typically happens within 30 days of your switch date.
Do I need a smart meter to use the referral code?
No — a smart meter is not required to claim the £50 referral bonus. You can use the code on any standard tariff. A smart meter is only required for tariffs like Agile Octopus, Octopus Go, Intelligent Octopus, and Cosy Octopus.
Can I enter the referral code manually instead of clicking the link?
Yes. During the Octopus Energy signup process there is an option to enter a referral code manually. Copy the code lively-pastry-241 and paste it into the referral field. Using the link above automatically applies the code for you.
Is there a limit on how many people can use the referral code?
There is no limit on how many people can use Octopus Energy's refer-a-friend scheme. Each person who signs up using a valid referral link or code gets £50, and the referrer also receives £50 per successful referral.
Can businesses use the referral scheme?
No — the refer-a-friend scheme is for domestic (household) energy customers only. Business energy accounts are not eligible for the £50 referral credit.
What if I'm already with Octopus Energy?
The referral code is only for new customers switching to Octopus Energy for the first time. If you're already an Octopus customer, you can share your own referral link from the Octopus Energy app or online account to earn £50 when your friends switch.
Does switching affect my credit score?
No. Switching energy suppliers does not affect your credit score. There are no credit checks involved in signing up for a domestic energy supply.
