Explore the chart. Hover, focus or select any point to see its exact values.
Points are interactive: hover, focus or select one for exact values. Shaded band is the lowest-to-highest paid spread within each month; the line is the duration-weighted mean. 2 periods are drawn from part of the calendar rather than all of it: Feb 2023 (15 of 28 days), Sept 2026 (11 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.
Each month shows the version of Octopus Flux Export you could actually have signed up to then, so the line follows the tariff through its successive versions rather than any one product code. Older versions carry on publishing rates for months after they stop selling; those are not averaged in, because nobody could buy them. Drawn from the stored daily rollups across every payment method the tariff publishes; where a tariff publishes more than one, the rates above show the direct-debit one and this line sits between them.

There is no price cap comparison on this page. The cap limits what a supplier can charge you, not what it pays you for export, so comparing an export rate against it would compare against a number that does not apply.

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.
