Octopus Energy US 🇺🇸 retweeted
Recently, I sat down with Anthony Rhodes, the VP Head of US Retail, to learn about @OctopusEnergyUS and the smart technology they use to deliver 100% renewable energy to utility customers in Texas 🤓
The team showed me an EV charging app they've been developing called Octopus Charge which simplifies finding, starting, and paying for Level 2 and DC Fast charging sessions.
It promises to solve the problem of making new accounts and downloading separate apps for each charging network.
In part two of this series, we put the app through its paces in the field during a 1,000 mile EV road trip (which I'll link in the thread below 🤓).

Octopus Energy US 🇺🇸 retweeted
✅ We completed a three day, 1,000 mile EV road trip from Houston, TX to Denver, Colorado in an @OctopusEnergyUS @Ford Mustang Mach E!
Along this desolate route we were able to try out the new Octopus Charge app which helped us find, initiate, and pay for charging along the way.
The app features Level 2, DC Fast charging stations, and many networks but the best part is I didn't have to make a new account and download separate apps for each charging network. Payment was a breeze (even in that Texas heat 😜 )!!
Watch our fun road trip video with Constantine from Octopus Energy that shares many tips and insights for EV drivers looking to travel across the country!:

We clearly stopped at some interesting places along the way too 😊
Download the Octopus Charge app and let me know what you think! 🐙

Texas just hit a new electricity demand record.
Looking at today's fuel mix, one thing stands out: solar ramps up right alongside demand, delivering power when Texans are using it most.
The Texas grid is changing, and days like today are a good reminder of what that looks like☀️⚡

AI is changing the grid faster than ever.
"The cheapest, fastest power is the power we already have if we use it more intelligently." @nickchaset
That's why virtual power plants matter. They're helping unlock flexible energy from homes instead of relying only on building new infrastructure.
Great piece from @ReutersEvents 👉 octo.ps/4gHnacy
Smart grids. Smarter software. Smarter energy ⚡
@JustHaveAThink dives into what's next for the energy transition, and why flexibility is becoming one of the grid's biggest superpowers.
You'll spot our CEO, @nchaset, in there too 🐙
Watch it now 👀 youtube.com/watch?v=PV--3VzP…
What if fixing grid congestion isn’t just about building more stuff?
As AI data centers and electrification drive record demand, our CEO @nchaset explains on @Enlit_Europe's “Energy Transitions” podcast why home batteries, EVs, and smart software could be just as important as building new infrastructure.

Our Head of Marketing got this outage text today.
It's a good reminder of why we partnered with @lunarenergyinc to launch Octopus PowerStore.
For most homeowners, resilience is still too complicated or too expensive. The goal was to make backup power something customers can actually access and understand, not a major home improvement project.
Interesting to see outage notifications becoming a more regular part of daily life in some markets.

“It’s not a tech problem. It’s a design problem.”
Why US VPP participation is stuck below 5% — and what needs to change.
Check out our CEO, @nchaset on the @InterchangeShow 🎧👇
The gap is staggering:
- US virtual power plants: 5% participation
- Octopus Energy UK: 60-70% participation
- The tech isn't the problem. Regulatory design is.

We’re doubling down on a customer-powered grid ⚡️
With a majority stake in @Uplight, and working with @SchneiderElec, we’re helping utilities tap into flexible capacity faster, no need to rely solely on expensive infrastructure.
The future is flexible 💪
We’ve just acquired a majority stake in @Uplight , partnering with @SchneiderElec to harness people-powered energy flexibility for millions across North America ⚡️
Electricity demand in the U.S. is surging, driven by AI data centres and the rapid growth of electrotech like EVs, batteries and solar. Utilities need new ways to keep the grid reliable and affordable.
Uplight works with over 85 utilities, including eight of the ten largest in the U.S., helping turn customer participation and distributed energy resources into dependable grid capacity.
The deal marks a major step for the teams of both Octopus and Kraken – opening the door to accelerate our expansion in the U.S.
Together with @krakentech_ , we’ll combine world-class customer and flexibility technologies to scale demand-side response for North American utilities, helping lower costs for consumers while strengthening energy security and grid stability..
The future grid will be increasingly customer-powered.
We’re excited to help build it.
