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 cheapest of those regions to the dearest 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: Jul 2023 (18 of 31 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 Intelligent Octopus Flux

Intelligent Octopus Flux is the Flux idea with the battery scheduling handled for you. Instead of setting your own charge and discharge windows, you connect a compatible home battery and Octopus decides when to fill it and when to send power back to the grid, working from wholesale prices and your own usage. The import rates are banded across the day, cheapest overnight and dearest in the evening peak, and this page shows the import side of that pairing: the rates you are paid for exporting are published as a separate product with its own rate series.

Questions, answered

How is Intelligent Flux different from Flux?
Flux gives you the price bands and leaves the scheduling to you or to your battery installer's software. Intelligent Flux keeps the same shape of tariff but hands the scheduling to Octopus, which charges and discharges the battery on your behalf.
Do I need a home battery?
Yes. The tariff is built around a compatible home battery that Octopus can control. Without one there is nothing for the scheduling to act on, and the banded import rates on their own are unlikely to suit an ordinary household.
Is this page the import side or the export side?
The import side. Intelligent Flux pairs an import product with an export product, and this page reads the import rates only, which are what you are charged for the electricity you take from the grid.
