The Octopus Energy Group encompasses businesses that engage in energy supply, both as a retailer and software platform provider; vehicle leasing; installation of smart meters and other energy related assets.
From a consumer perspective, the Group is committed to unlocking cheaper, greener power for all, globally. It does this both by deploying its proprietary technology directly within its own Octopus Energy branded supply businesses and also by leasing this technology to other energy supply businesses.
The Octopus Energy Group looks forward to working with the security community to find security vulnerabilities in order to keep our businesses and customers safe.
Note: Any asset related to Kraken Technologies should be reported to their Vulnerability Disclosure Program
