How it works

Three steps to £50 off your energy bill

  1. Use the referral link

    Click the button on this page and sign up directly on Octopus Energy's website. Octopus only pays the referral credit when you join through the link itself, not through a comparison or switching site.

  2. Get a quote and switch

    Enter your postcode and details. Octopus arranges the switch with your old supplier, so there's no gap in your supply. See our step-by-step switching guide.

  3. Credit lands automatically

    Once you're on supply and your first monthly direct debit has been taken, £50 is added to your account. Octopus says this typically takes around four weeks, longer if your old supplier delays the switch.

Common questions

What people ask before switching

Is the £50 Octopus Energy referral credit real?
Yes. It's Octopus Energy's own refer-a-friend scheme: the new customer and the person who shared the link each get £50 energy credit on a home energy account. Octopus can change or end the offer, so check the current terms in Octopus's referral guide before you switch.
Do I have to be a new Octopus customer?
Yes, the referral credit is for people joining Octopus Energy. If you're already a customer you can't claim it for yourself, but you'll have your own referral link in your online account to share. If you've been an Octopus customer in the last 12 months you may not qualify, so check Octopus's current terms.
Will switching affect my energy supply?
No. Octopus arranges the switch with your old supplier and your gas and electricity keep flowing. Octopus says it usually completes the switch within about three working days of sign-up, and you have a 14-day cooling-off period if you change your mind. See our switching guide for the full process.
When does the £50 credit appear?
Octopus adds the credit once you're on supply and your first monthly direct debit has been taken. It says the whole process typically takes around four weeks, and longer if your old supplier delays the switch. You can check in the Octopus app under Bills, where it shows as a referral reward, or on the website under Payments, then View My Balance History.
Can I use this referral link through a comparison or switching site?
No. Octopus only pays the referral credit when you sign up directly on its own website using the link. If you join through a comparison or switching site, no referral credit is paid, because Octopus pays those sites for the customers they send. See referral code vs promo code.
Is Octopus Energy a good, reliable supplier?
Octopus Energy is a UK energy supplier regulated by Ofgem. It was named a Which? Recommended Provider for energy in 2026, the ninth year running. Ratings change, so check Which?'s current ratings and read Octopus's terms before you switch.
Is Octopus Energy renewable?
Octopus says its electricity for April 2024 to March 2025 was 100% zero carbon: 86.4% renewables and 13.6% nuclear, with no gas or coal. See our explainer on Octopus's fuel mix.
Do I need a smart meter to get the £50?
No. The referral credit is paid once you are on supply and your first monthly direct debit has been taken. A smart meter is only needed for smart tariffs such as Agile and Intelligent Octopus Go.
Who is behind this site?
This is an independent site run by an Octopus Energy customer sharing their referral link. It is not owned or operated by Octopus Energy. If you switch using the link on this page, both of us receive £50 credit, and your £50 is unaffected. See about this site.
