Octopus Energy, a leading energy provider, has recently introduced a new time-of-use electricity plan called OctopusFlex in Lubbock, Texas. This innovative plan offers customers the opportunity to save money by utilizing power during off-peak hours, specifically between 10 pm and 6 am when the grid is quieter and cleaner.
What sets OctopusFlex apart is its simplicity and transparency. Customers do not need any connected devices to take advantage of the plan; all they have to do is remember to use electricity during the designated hours to benefit from lower rates. By shifting energy consumption to off-peak hours, customers can not only save money but also contribute to a cleaner and more balanced grid.
One of the key features of OctopusFlex is its integration with EV charger apps and smart thermostats. By automatically adjusting electricity usage to off-peak hours, customers can maximize their savings and support the transition to renewable energy sources. This flexibility allows customers to have more control over their energy usage and costs.
In addition to the cost savings, OctopusFlex also helps reduce strain on the grid during peak hours, particularly in the hot summer months. By incentivizing customers to use electricity during off-peak times, the plan helps prevent blackouts and creates space for more renewable energy to be integrated into the grid.
To make the most of OctopusFlex, customers can pre-cool their homes in the early morning, run large appliances overnight, charge their EVs after 10 pm, and utilize smart plugs or timers to schedule energy usage. These simple adjustments can lead to significant savings and a more sustainable energy consumption pattern.
OctopusFlex is now available to customers in Lubbock, Texas, where Octopus Energy has been operating as a retail provider since early 2024. As part of Octopus Group, a global certified BCorp operating in 18 countries, Octopus Energy is committed to providing innovative and sustainable energy solutions to its customers.
Overall, OctopusFlex represents a step towards a more efficient and environmentally friendly energy system. By empowering customers to take control of their energy usage and save money in the process, Octopus Energy is paving the way for a cleaner and more sustainable future.
