What does Martin Lewis say about Octopus Energy?
Martin Lewis and MoneySavingExpert don’t normally “endorse” a single supplier, but Octopus Energy regularly appears in their guidance as one of the better choices in the UK energy market.
MSE highlights Octopus for strong customer service ratings in its Cheap Energy Club and forum discussions, where it often tops satisfaction tables against larger rivals.
Martin Lewis points out Octopus’s competitive tariffs and innovative smart options like Octopus Agile, which links to wholesale pricing and can cut costs if you shift usage to off-peak.
He also stresses doing your own comparison rather than sticking with one supplier.
In broader consumer surveys Octopus has been named a Which? Recommended Provider for nine years running, reflecting consistent customer scores.
