Switching to Octopus Energy in York
York sits in the Yorkshire electricity distribution region, where the local network — the substations, poles, cables and meters that carry power to your home — is maintained by Northern Powergrid (Yorkshire), the distribution network operator. Your DNO stays the same whoever you buy energy from, which is why the network costs built into every bill's standing charge vary by region rather than by supplier, and why a rate quoted in York can differ from one in London or Scotland. Octopus Energy supplies homes right across Yorkshire, so switching is straightforward and your wires and meter are untouched. We won't print unit rates or standing charges here because they move every quarter with the energy price cap and differ by region — check octopus.energy for the live rates that apply to your York postcode.
- Reach Octopus through the referral link on this page, not via a price-comparison or switching site like Uswitch, Confused or GoCompare — going through a comparison route hands the bonus to that site instead, so you miss out on the £50.
- The £50 lands automatically and there's no code to type into a box: it's triggered once your switch fully completes and your first monthly Direct Debit clears, usually around four weeks, occasionally longer if your old supplier is slow to release the account.
- Your York supply stays exactly as it is — Northern Powergrid (Yorkshire) keeps running the wires and meter under the Energy Switch Guarantee — so there's no engineer, no new cabling and no break in power; only the company that bills you changes.
