Switching to Octopus Energy in Dundee

Dundee sits in the North Scotland distribution region, where the local poles, cables and substations are run by SSEN (Scottish and Southern Electricity Networks), the distribution network operator. Your supplier and your network operator are separate things: whoever you buy energy from, SSEN still maintains the wires into Tayside, so moving to Octopus changes none of that physical infrastructure. Network costs differ from one region to the next, and North Scotland's geography — long rural lines and island connections — makes it one of the costlier areas to distribute power; those distribution charges feed into the standing charges and unit rates every supplier sets, which is why a Dundee bill won't match an identical home in, say, the Midlands. Octopus supplies homes right across North Scotland, but because tariffs move with the energy price cap each quarter and vary by region, this page won't quote you a pence-per-kWh figure — check octopus.energy for the live rates that apply to your postcode before you decide.

• Sign up using the referral link on this page rather than through a price-comparison site such as Uswitch, Confused or GoCompare — going via a comparison route hands the bonus to that third party and voids the £50.
• Once your switch fully completes and your first monthly Direct Debit clears — usually around four weeks, sometimes longer if your old supplier drags its feet — Octopus pays you £50 automatically as bill credit. There's no code to type and no form to chase up.
• Switch to Octopus in Dundee and you get £50 once your switch completes (T&Cs apply, one switching offer per household). Prepayment (pay-as-you-go) homes in the city are eligible too, with their credit handled manually, so it can take a little longer to arrive.
• Switching is protected and takes around five working days — no engineer visits your home, no one touches your meter or SSEN's wires, and your supply never cuts out. Once you're a customer you can move onto smart tariffs like Tracker or Intelligent Octopus Go for free, as long as you have a working smart meter.
