Asked about the visual impact, she said: “I think it’s a worthy sacrifice. And if you look at this area anyway, we are on the northeast coast and there is obviously a busy port and quite a lot of activity anyway.

A bit of each – we have PPA agreements with over 100 different solar, wind, and hydro plants across the UK, including a wide range of community generators, and Octopus Energy Generation (part of the Octopus Energy family) manage over 300 renewable energy projects generating 2 TWh of green power and making us Europe’s biggest investor in Solar Energy. We also need to be able to supply our customers with reliable, consistent energy when the sun isn’t shining and the wind isn’t blowing, so besides the energy we source from Octopus Energy Generation's renewable projects and our community generators, we also get a portion of energy from the open market alongside renewable energy ‘REGO’ certificates. On top of Octopus Energy Generation's massive contribution, these certificates also go directly to supporting UK renewable energy generation. Octopus’s groundbreaking ‘Fan Club’ first launched in 2021 for customers living close to one of its onshore wind turbines in Market Weighton and Halifax, Yorkshire, and Caerphilly, Wales. Since then Octopus has received over 20,000 requests for local wind turbines in communities. The popular scheme has now also expanded into the US and Germany. The Fan Club shows for the first time that people can directly benefit from cheaper bills when the wind is blowing locally and there’s an abundance of green electrons in the grid. We’ve been blown away by the positive response and we’ve got big plans to launch new fans and provide cheap green energy to more people globally.”It's a Which?

Proportion of renewable electricity according to Octopus Energy’s 2022/23 fuel mix. Other responses based on information provided by suppliers in September 2023. By expanding the Fan Club tariff, it will allow customers in parts of South Texas to receive the same discount on their electricity bills thanks to wind power – which makes up 45% of Texas’s grid generation. Octopus said this will be a first for the USA . Octopus Energy’s first ever own brand turbines are now on the grid, and we’ve included the UK’s first windy tariff to boot - we halve the price of your electricity whenever your turbine is spinning fast. This is the first step in a huge plan for Octopus owning its very own generation and offering local wind tariffs across the country. It means we can begin producing the clean, green power we provide to customers ourselves and incentivise customers to use energy when it’s the absolute greenest. This comes as onshore wind energy costs have more than halved over the last decade***. Onshore wind energy is now the fastest and cheapest way to wean the UK off gas and increase the country’s energy independence.

Still, a world powered by 100% green energy isn’t out of reach - we’re just going to have to learn how to make the most of it. As their turbines can only generate enough electricity for a certain number of local households they are limiting the number of customers to 400 in the Yorkshire YO43 postcode area and 400 in the CF81 and NP24 postcode areas. The idea behind the Fan Club tariff is that you are being encouraged to use electricity when there is greater availability. The windier it is, the more electricity wind turbines produce which can at times mean that there is more electricity than is needed so they may need to be temporarily shut down. The peak electricity demand in the UK is the 4pm to 7pm peak period where more households switch on the electric ovens to cook dinner, watch TV, switch the lights on, boil the kettle, wash clothes, run tumble dryers and dishwashers. Octopus to use data driven approach to match-make willing landowners with enthusiastic communities who want to host a turbine It says it's 'making energy fair, clean and simple for all' and 'building the sustainable energy system of tomorrow'.

Firstly this is only currently available to you if you live in the YO43, CF81 and NP24 postcode areas which are close to their Market Weighton and Caerphilly wind turbines. They are likely to invest in more wind turbines as they expand to cover more postcode areas as they have been very aggressive in attracting funding as well as powering other small suppliers such as M & S Energy, London Power and Affect Energy. And finally, we have my favorite Peloton fan: the VeloQuip Dual Peloton Fan. In terms of power, each of the two fans here is on par with the other top fans in this category. However, since the dual fans cover more area, you definitely feel it a bit more. This fan is actually stronger than it looks providing a similar amount of wind flow as the Lasko Tower Fan. This is a chargeable fan so you will need to charge this after several hours of use. The biggest downside here is that the fan needs to be clipped directly to the screen ( or onto the speakers for the Peloton Bike+). Double Plus and Crostice Fans We work closely with the communities our turbines are turning in. Through educating local school children on renewable energy, investing in local community funds, or powering local homes and businesses.

It all began with our two biggest fans - #1 Fan in Market Weighton, East Yorkshire and #2 Fan in Caerphilly, South Wales. It buys renewable energy (REGO) certificates to match all of its customers' use, including for those whose electricity is matched with PPA contracts. Octopus Energy Group has announced it is launching its green tariff, ‘Fan Club’ in the US and Germany. Fund management products and services are provided by Octopus Renewables Ltd. which is authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority under Firm Reference Number 473797. What makes this fan better for me is that the placement is a lot less intrusive than any of the clip-on fans. It also plugs into and uses the power from your Peloton Bike – so no charging is required. It also received a bonus point for having a disco light option. VeloQuip Dual Peloton FanOctopus Energy’s Fan Club is driving access to cheaper, greener ‘people-led’ renewable energy across the UK. We believe that renewables should be brought closer to the consumer and that people living alongside generation projects should enjoy cheaper electricity when their local turbine is spinning. So in 2021, we launched the first energy club to give customers the benefit of local renewable energy production in real-time. Through the years, we’ve also worked with fantastic green generators to buy their power, from the smallest dedicated community energy projects to large scale solar farms capable of powering hundreds of thousands of homes. It's our only Which? Recommended Provider again in 2023. It also became an Eco Provider for the first time in 2023.
