Compatibility guide
Octopus import and export tariff compatibility
Import and export products are not freely interchangeable. The current smart-tariff terms specify allowed pairings and combined products; verify them again before switching.

Compatible pairings
| Import tariff | Export choices named in terms | Conditions and caveats |
|---|---|---|
| go | seg, outgoing, outgoing-agile | Eligible home EV charging and suitable smart-meter operation. The official terms list only these export choices for Go. Verify official terms. |
| intelligent-go | seg, outgoing, outgoing-agile | Compatible vehicle or charger, home EV charging and supplier smart schedule. Compatibility must be checked for the exact device; it is not inferred from a brand. Verify official terms. |
| cosy | seg, outgoing, outgoing-agile | Eligible heat pump or compatible low-carbon heating system. Octopus determines compatible heating systems and may change product terms. Verify official terms. |
| snug | seg, outgoing, outgoing-agile | Compatible storage heaters controlled through an eligible SMETS2 auxiliary load-control setup. Supplier integration and managed-schedule conditions apply. Verify official terms. |
| flux | flux-export | Smart meters for import and export, PV solar, operational home battery and requested certification. Flux is a combined import/export arrangement rather than a free choice of separate export product. Verify official terms. |
| intelligent-flux | flux-export | Approved connected battery, PV solar, import/export smart meters and supplier control authorisation. Battery compatibility and operation are not guaranteed; this is a combined tariff. Verify official terms. |
