Scott Stamp
Web Developer & Octopus Energy Customer · Kent, UK
I'm a web developer based in Kent. I built this site after switching to Octopus Energy and realising how much better my energy situation got — and how few genuinely useful, independent resources existed to help others do the same.
From Web Developer to Energy Enthusiast
Like most people in the UK, I watched my energy bills skyrocket over the last few years and realised the old way of staying with a 'Big Six' supplier just wasn't working anymore. I was on a standard variable tariff, barely checking my bills, just assuming I was getting a reasonable deal.
I decided to take control. I made the switch to Octopus Energy, and it changed the way I think about home energy. Being able to see exactly what I'm paying and actually understand the tariff options available has been a genuine game-changer for my bank account — and as a developer, the live data and API side of things absolutely hooked me in. I've even integrated the Octopus API into my own home dashboard to track my real-time usage.
Why trust this site?
I'm not a big comparison corporate or a faceless marketing agency. I'm a real customer living in Kent. I spend time geek-ing out over smart meter data and tracking how price cap changes actually affect real households — because that's genuinely interesting to me as both a developer and someone who pays an energy bill.
Every guide on this site — from the Intelligent Octopus Go breakdown to the Agile tariff explainer — is based on my own research, the live data I pull from the official Octopus API every six hours, and real customer experience. I built all the tooling behind this site myself, including the price tracking charts and the tariff sync system.
Why I Use Octopus Energy
Octopus isn't paying me to say any of this. I chose them because their tariffs are genuinely competitive, their app actually works, and the smart meter data they expose through their API is something I can build on. As a developer, that matters. As someone paying a monthly bill, the savings matter more.

The Referral Link (wise-peach-776)
I share my personal referral link because it's a genuine win-win. If you use it to switch, we both get £50 credit added to our accounts. It helps me keep this site running and keeps my own energy bills a little lower — which is exactly how Octopus designed their refer-a-friend scheme to work.
There's no catch, no hidden commission structure, and no obligation. If you've been thinking about switching, the £50 is just a nice bonus on top of what are already competitive tariffs.
