UPDATED: APRIL 2026
The Octopus Energy referral code for 2026 is brave-kiwi-22 — but you don’t type it anywhere. You click the link below. Both you and I get £50 credit automatically after your first Direct Debit.
Use Referral Code – Get My £50 →Referral link: share.octopus.energy/brave-kiwi-22
The Octopus Energy referral code is a unique identifier embedded in a referral link — in my case, brave-kiwi-22, which forms the link share.octopus.energy/brave-kiwi-22.
Unlike traditional promo or discount codes, Octopus does not have a code entry box on its sign-up page. The “code” is built into the link URL itself. You must click the link to activate it — if you type the Octopus Energy website URL directly and then sign up, the referral won’t be tracked and neither of you will receive the £50 credit.
This is a common source of confusion: many people search for an Octopus Energy discount code or promo code to paste into a field, but that’s not how the Octopus referral scheme works. The link is the code.
The green button above takes you directly to the Octopus Energy switch page with my referral code (brave-kiwi-22) pre-loaded in the URL. Do not navigate to octopus.energy separately.
Enter your postcode, current energy usage, and bank details for Direct Debit. Octopus handles the rest — including cancelling your existing tariff. No interruption to your supply.
The referral credit is triggered once your first payment clears. You do not need to do anything.
Both you and I receive £50 credit on our Octopus accounts. You’ll see it in your account under “credit balance”. It never expires while you remain a customer.
The Octopus Energy referral code gives £50 credit to the new customer and £50 credit to the person who shared the link — £100 total for a residential referral. Business customers get £75 each (£150 total) via a separate scheme at octopus.energy/refer-a-business/.
Yes. The Octopus Energy referral scheme is active in April 2026 and paying £50 credit to both parties. The April 2026 energy price cap has dropped to £1,641/yr (down from £1,738/yr), making it a particularly good time to switch and lock in better rates.
Octopus’s standard variable rates have tracked below the Ofgem price cap every year since the company launched — one of very few suppliers to maintain this consistently.
Many people search for an Octopus Energy promo code, discount code, or switching code expecting a short alphanumeric string to enter during checkout. Octopus does not offer these.
The Octopus referral scheme works differently:
If you’re already planning to switch to Octopus Energy, using a referral code (link) costs you nothing extra and gets you £50 free credit applied to your account. There is no downside — the tariff rates, contract terms, and service are identical whether you switch via a referral link or directly.
The only requirement is that you click the link rather than navigating to octopus.energy independently.
You don’t enter it anywhere — there is no code field on the Octopus sign-up page. The referral code is embedded in the link URL. Click the referral link on this page and the code is pre-loaded automatically.
My referral code is brave-kiwi-22, embedded in the link share.octopus.energy/brave-kiwi-22. Click the green button on this page to use it. Both of us receive £50 credit after your first Direct Debit clears.
No. Octopus Energy does not use discount codes or switching codes the way some other suppliers do. The referral link is the code — it tracks the referral via the URL, not a box you type into. The result is a free £50 credit rather than a tariff discount.
No. The referral scheme is only for people who have never previously been on supply with Octopus Energy. If you’ve been an Octopus customer before, you are not eligible to use a referral link as a new customer.
Approximately two to four weeks after your first Direct Debit payment. Your first Direct Debit is usually taken four to six weeks after you switch. Total wait from switching: roughly six to ten weeks.
No. The £50 credit does not expire while you remain an Octopus Energy customer. It automatically offsets your bills and will appear in your account’s credit balance section.
