Discover 'Tako Tomo Winter Zero'
Octopus Energy, a pioneer in sustainable energy solutions, has launched an exciting new initiative called "Tako Tomo Winter Zero." Starting September 19, 2025, this campaign aims to ease the burden of electricity costs during the colder months.
The company aims to provide green energy at attractive prices while enhancing the customer experience through innovative services. Following the success of the previous summer’s "Happy Hour" campaign, Octopus Energy is now focusing on support for heating during winter, allowing customers to stay warm without worry amid rising living costs. This initiative represents a shift away from the traditional idea that saving energy means sacrificing comfort.
By opting for Octopus’s renewable electricity plans, customers can enjoy a comfortable lifestyle while contributing to a sustainable society. As they say, "Use the electricity you need, without hesitation."
What is 'Tako Tomo Winter Zero'?
The "Tako Tomo Winter Zero" referral program allows existing Octopus Energy customers to share their unique referral URL with friends and family who are not yet subscribers. When a new contract is successfully established through this referral, both the referrer and the new customer receive an 8,000 yen discount on their electricity bills. There is no cap on the number of referrals, and this program is not only available in the UK, where the company is headquartered, but is also gaining popularity in Japan.
The reason Octopus Energy continues this referral program is simple: they view their customers as partners in creating a sustainable energy future, rather than mere consumers. This affectionate term "Tako Tomo" (meaning "octopus friends") reflects that perspective.
When existing customers share their genuine experiences with Octopus Energy through word of mouth, they provide significant "love and power" to the brand, akin to the feedback received on social media and review platforms. To enhance this program, Octopus Energy has eliminated referral limits, offering more appealing benefits for participation.
This winter, the campaign enhances this approach with new lottery prizes. Among those participating in 'Tako Tomo Winter Zero,' 20 lucky winners will receive their winter electricity bills for January and February, with a limit of 100,000 yen, for free. This initiative aims to support families in utilizing their heating systems during the colder months without financial strain.
