Points are interactive: hover, focus or select one for exact values. The line is the plain average of the regional monthly means — all 14 regions, in every month — and the shaded band runs from the lowest-paying of those regions to the highest-paying in that month. So the band is the spread BETWEEN regions, not the spread within a month — a regional page’s chart shows the latter. Nobody pays the line; it describes the country rather than a bill. 2 periods are drawn from part of the calendar rather than all of it: Feb 2023 (15 of 28 days), Sept 2026 (12 of 30 days). A month is partly counted where a version went on or came off sale inside it, and the current month is always still in progress. They are drawn hollow.

About Octopus Flux Export

Octopus Flux Export is the export half of the Flux pairing: banded rates that pay the least overnight, a middling amount through the day and the most during the evening peak. The shape is deliberate. It is built for a house with a home battery, which can be filled from cheap overnight import and emptied into the grid in the hours when exported electricity is worth the most. What you earn therefore depends on how much energy you can hold back for the peak window, not on total generation alone.

Before you switch

Is Octopus Flux Export a fit?

A quick suitability check before you compare the live price with your own home and usage.

Essentials

You need

  • Eligible generation and an export-capable smart-meter setup confirmed by Octopus.
  • Any required solar, battery eligibility or compatibility confirmed before switching.

Best fit

Works best if

  • Your household pattern can use the favourable bands and avoid the expensive ones.

Check carefully

Watch out for

  • Export rates are payments, not discounts to subtract from an assumed import bill.

Pairing

Compatible export choices

  • This is an export product; verify which import tariff Octopus permits it to be paired with.

Make the final check

How to verify or switch

  1. Check the exact tariff name, product version, regional quote, eligibility and current terms with Octopus Energy.
  2. Use OctoTariffs history and calculators as evidence, not as a supplier quote or guarantee of future cost.

Good to know

Questions, answered

Why are there different export rates at different times?
Electricity is worth more to the grid when demand is high and generation is short, which in Britain is the early evening. The banded rate passes that difference on, paying most for exports in the peak window and least overnight.
Does the Ofgem price cap apply to this tariff?
No. The cap is a ceiling on what you can be charged for the energy you use, and it does not apply to what you are paid for exporting. It should never be used as a benchmark for an export rate.
Do I need a battery to make use of the bands?
The bands are shaped for one. Solar generation peaks around the middle of the day rather than in the evening, so without storage most of what you export lands in the lower-paying bands.
