Overall, Octopus Energy are a fantastic energy company when it comes to customer service with 89% of people rating them five stars.
The company is backed by Octopus Investments, one of the UK's fastest growing investment management companies with some £5 to £6 billion in assets under management. Octopus Investments specialises in raising capital through Venture Capital Trusts and Investment funds and invests directly in companies and assets, with a particular focus on smaller companies, healthcare, property finance and, of course, energy.
In the energy sector Octopus Investments is the UK's largest investor in solar farms, and has also invested significantly in wind generation, in anaerobic digestion plants, and in "rapid response" gas generation (gas generation plants used to balance the energy supply side when there is no wind and sun).

Octupus Energy is of course not the first energy supplier to come to market with these ambitions. Co-operative Energy made a lot of similar promises about "always offering fair prices" and being "committed to a sustainable world" and look where Co-operative energy ended up.

Octopus energy relies on 100% renewable energy sources.
