Well, perhaps if octopus energy weren't spending millions in advertising on greatest hits radio, they might be able to afford to give back more than 60p per kilowatt....if I've heard their advert once, Ive heard it a thousand times 😬 award winning customer service apparently 🤣 Honestly these people are brain dead.....what time does the revolution start?
Octopus is definitely highly woke but they have given me a very good price for a solar panel plus Tesla Powerwall installation, so I hope they stay in business for a few more weeks.
This last month, due to the grey skies and weather, I have generated no more than 5% a day. It is absolute folly to think this renewable can provide enough electricity.
The problem with Bovaer is that it is undetectable after being added to the feed. I’d be incredibly skeptical of any products who previously stated they would be using it. They want us dead and it’s clear they don’t mind telling gigantic lies.
The other “green” problem of poorly performing wind and solar…what if the entire goal *is* towards poor energy generation?? I had this thought pop into my head over the weekend. We are trying to solve an unsolvable problem. It’s not meant to make sense but it is meant to keep people literally, out in the cold or dark. Lack of power effects everything one needs to do to function. Useless eaters don’t deserve 24/7 power.
The rest of the Green obsessed world will learn an obvious lesson from Norway.
Not the correct lesson - don’t try to impose a product the public doesn’t want. They might boycott it!
But the bureaucrat’s favoured lesson - don’t be so silly as to reveal what’s going on by, for example, branding it as “climate” milk (lol). That risks mis / mal information spreading amount the ignorant plebs. Perish the thought!
In this country cow fart control will be embedded in all our dairy products without disclosure. All for the greater good, of course.
Will that ploy work though? Consumers are already boycotting Arla products which are not specifically labelled as 'climate friendly'. If producers try to conceal the use of chemicals in their products, then they might find that their sales decline across the board. This might of course mean the demise of the dairy industry - which is what the climate freaks want anyway.
The segment starts with a “you couldn’t make it up” outpouring of nonsense from the co-president of the Club of Rome. It goes on to analyse Octopus Energy, valued at $8 billion and the biggest energy supplier in the UK after just 8 years. Ben thinks this is has a lot to do with their Common Purpose leanings and political/media/Davos connections. He talks about their Kraken AI-powered grid management system which is being rolled out widely. He describes how they are planning to create “synthetic smart meter data” to manage intermittency. Ben is not impressed and concludes that it will all lead to disaster.
Here’s a recent post by David Turner on zonal electricity pricing, highly favoured by Octopus Energy, which may shed some light on Greg Jackson’s wishful-thinking on intermittent renewables and his whiz-bang grid management software systems. David’s conclusion: The proposed solutions like zonal pricing only add even more complexity and cost to the system. … The extra costs will be added to our electricity bills, which are already the highest in the countries measured by the IEA: https://davidturver.substack.com/p/consumers-set-to-be-reamed-by-rema.
At this time last year, more than 2m consumers had signed up to the so-called demand flexibility service.
But today the figure stands at about 750,000, a drop of about 62pc, according to the National Energy System Operator (Neso), which manages Britain’s power grid.
It follows a decision to slash the payments offered to customers by as much as 90pc.
Energy industry insiders said the decision had dented the attractiveness of the scheme, leading to a lacklustre take-up from most suppliers.
‘Steep’ fall in rewards
Octopus Energy, Britain’s biggest electricity supplier with around 6.8m customers, accounts for 740,000 or about 99pc of sign-ups this year – a total almost entirely made up of households rather than businesses. That was also down from around one million the company signed up last year.
Kieron Stopforth, of Octopus Energy, warned that the rewards offered to consumers had fallen off “quite a steep cliff” this winter.
Whereas last year consumers could receive up to £4 for every kilowatt hour of electricity they saved, Octopus said it was only able to pay around 60p per kilowatt hour this week under the latest version of the scheme.
Mr Stopforth said: “There’s a lot of latent interest and we think customers are really excited about the potential of demand flexibility. But if they don’t see the benefits, then they’re not going to participate.”
“Kier-on-Stopforth” ??? Must be related to that other “Kier” who is supposed to be running Britain (for the moment) - until the pitchfork rebellion commences…
Listen-up my dear fellow Substack patrons – this post must be one of the slickest things I have read for some time. For a start, one of the defining characteristics of the majority of us deplorables here in Australia – you know, the descendants of the British underclasses who were exported from Mother Britain to the antipodes two centuries ago - is that most of us were born with inbuilt bullshit detectors. After reading this, mine is stuck at full deflection. A power company called “Octopus Energy” run by a female CEO whose technical qualifications lie in History-Archaeology and goes by the name of ‘Zoisa North-Bond’ - and who is pushing ‘Green Electrons’ !!! C’mon Substack patrons – this article could only be a latter-day attempt to stress test a new Monty Python script. Either that or ‘Octopus Energy’ is actually part of the Royal investment portfolio of King Charles III.
PS: I did think that the correspondent by the name of ‘letcowsfartinpeace’ was a masterful touch – and I am still laughing…

Congrats Jaime, your excellent post has provoked some very interesting and informative responses.

I'm with Octopus. I'll review my supplier now.
I have 6 panels and 3Kw storage battery.
This last month, due to the grey skies and weather, I have generated no more than 5% a day. It is absolute folly to think this renewable can provide enough electricity.
My other comment is off topic a bit 😁 but this is exactly my point on chemtrails…

Just my two cents.
It's just f@cking nuts, isn't it? Who'd employ someone to head up their organisation who is so ill qualified, and frankly, so deluded?
Greg Jackson, CEO of Octopus Energy, has as part of his header on LinkedIn
“Due to volume of spam, LinkedIn is not a good place to reach me”

I hear the UK government has plans to mandate its use across the entire UK dairy herd. Organic or not, raw or processed.

Not looking good for the fluffy pink Octopus.

Good name.
"Come forth," said Two Tier Keir, "sign up for free energy when the wind blows, and save the planet."
"Oh dear," said Kieron Stopforth, of Octopus Energy, "the 'free energy' has run out and customers have stopped coming forth!"

I'm still chuckling at that one as well 🤣
Why do the thickest, always float to the top?
I don't know, but it's probably because they reinvented some law or other.
