Octopus is expanding its Fan Club wind tariff, starting with communities living along the coastline from Grimsby to Skegness.

Octopus’s Fan Club was first launched in 2021 for customers living close to one of its onshore wind turbines in Market Weighton and Halifax, Yorkshire, and Caerphilly, Wales. Since then, Octopus has received over 20,000 requests for local wind turbines in communities. The scheme has now also expanded into the US and Germany.

This follows Octopus’ announcement to unleash £15bn of investment in offshore wind globally. In the UK, Octopus had stakes in the Lincs offshore wind farm and one of the world’s largest wind farms, Hornsea One – both off the east coast of England.

Zoisa North-Bond, CEO of Octopus Energy Generation, said: “Our Fan Club demonstrates just how much people love wind in Britain. It’s fantastic to now expand this pioneering scheme to those living near offshore wind farms too. People overlooking these majestic wind farms along the coastlines from Grimsby to Skegness will now be able to benefit from cheaper electricity which it’s windy.”
