Octopus Energy has announced it will be expanding its 'Fan Club' energy tariff to customers living on the Lincolnshire coastline between Grimsby to Skegness, linking the discounted energy offer to an offshore wind farm for the first time.
The move, announced by the energy company this morning, marks the first UK expansion of the scheme, which was launched in 2021 for households living near onshore wind turbines in Market Weighton and Halifax in Yorkshire and Caerphilly in Wales. The tariff has since been extended to Octopus customers living near wind farms in the US and Germany.
And now the tariff, which offers cheaper power to customers living close to wind turbines, will now be extended to customers living near an offshore wind farm part-owned by Octopus off the coast of Lincolnshire.
Customers who sign up to the Fan Club tariff could get up to 50 per cent off their electricity when their local offshore farm is producing high levels of clean power, Octopus confirmed.
