It’s possible to build more wind turbines where people want them, helping to end our fossil fuel reliance, lower energy bills and unleash economic growth. At the moment the tariff tied to wind energy generation is restricted to homes located close to their wind turbine installations. Fan Club - the very first project of its kind - gives communities in Wales and North Yorkshire a chance to invest in local green generation and cheaper energy when their wind turbines are turning. Appliances that use lots of energy such as tumble dryers, dishwashers and washing machines could be used at times where the 50% discount kicks in to reduce your energy bill further. We’ve been blown away by the positive response and we’ve got big plans to launch new fans and provide cheap green energy to more people globally.

These renewable projects generate enough green energy to power 2 million homes every year, and is the equivalent of taking over 800,000 petrol cars off the road. Following ‘The Fan Club’ model, ‘Fan Club - The Collective’ will initially focus on onshore wind before expanding to solar energy.Octopus Energy Group has announced it is launching its green tariff, ‘Fan Club’ in the US and Germany.
