Octopus Energy Teams Up with Moving Notification Service

In a significant development, Octopus Energy, which boasts a 100% renewable energy supply and the fastest growth rate among major power companies, has announced its collaboration with TEPCO i-Frontiers. This partnership introduces a convenient feature for customers who are moving, enabling them to manage their electricity setup seamlessly through the “Moving Notification Service.”

Beginning today, users planning to relocate can utilize this all-in-one service to handle their electricity, gas, and water setup efficiently. By using the Moving Notification Service, customers can select Octopus Energy as their energy supplier while managing various relocation-related processes, ensuring a smooth transition in their new home.

Why This Collaboration Matters

Moving homes can be a daunting task, especially with the myriad of administrative procedures involved. From notifying different utility providers to managing internet connections, the paperwork can become overwhelming. This partnership not only simplifies the process but empowers customers to choose their electricity supplier actively.

The Moving Notification Service allows users to complete their essential move-related administrative tasks in one online setting. Once they enter their basic information—such as name and current and new addresses—customers can streamline their interactions with multiple service providers. Furthermore, users are presented with a list of available providers at their new location, allowing them to make informed choices about their utilities.

Octopus Energy's mission is to make the energy market simpler and more accessible through technology. This collaboration aims to not only minimize the hassle of moving but also facilitate a more proactive approach for customers in selecting their energy suppliers and plans.

Benefits of the Moving Notification Service

Customers who utilize the Moving Notification Service can benefit from several features:

• - Enter their basic information once to manage multiple moving-related procedures.
• - Review a list of power suppliers available at their new address.
• - Choose Octopus Energy and apply for electricity service with ease.
• - Handle various utility setup tasks for electricity, gas, and water online.

Octopus Energy will also accept applications for specific electricity plans through the Moving Notification Service, including:

• - The “LL Octopus Plan” for low-pressure lighting.
• - The “All Electric Octopus” plan for users with all-electric homes.

It is important to note that the plans and availability depend on the new address and housing specifications, and details will be confirmed after the service launch.
