About us
Octopus Energy NZ is revolutionising the energy experience for Kiwis. We use cutting-edge technology and the expertise of passionate energy specialists to deliver smarter, more sustainable energy solutions. As part of the global Octopus Energy Group we are dedicated to making energy affordable and accessible.
Using customer-focused innovation, Octopus offers plans that cater to diverse energy needs. This could be anything from maximising solar power, smartly managing electric vehicle charging via Intelligent Octopus, or reducing energy costs with off-peak and half-price night rates. Our competitive solar buyback rates empower solar and battery customers to make the most of their investments.
At Octopus Energy, we believe in giving customers control. That’s why our plans come with no fixed-term contracts or break fees. This approach means customers can choose the plan that best suits them, with the freedom to switch or adjust as their needs change.
Powered by Octopus’s Kraken technology platform, Octopus offers an experience that is both innovative and easy to use. Kraken’s smart technology enables us to deliver valuable insights into your energy use. This means you can see your energy usage, monitor solar exports to the grid, and identify opportunities for savings, helping you make better decisions.
