Octopus Energy Group helps customers keep a tight grip on their purse strings while cutting down their carbon footprint.

The company also offers various smart-grid programs that allow customers to buy electricity at reduced rates for use during off-peak hours—a good deal for anyone charging an electric vehicle overnight.
