The average is duration-weighted across the published time bands, so a two-hour band does not count the same as a six-hour one.

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: Jun 2026 (8 of 30 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 Outgoing Octopus Prime 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 Outgoing Octopus Prime

Outgoing Octopus Prime is a banded export tariff attached to customers who bought their solar or battery system through Octopus. Like the other banded export products it pays different amounts at different times of day rather than a single flat rate, with the highest band covering the hours when the grid is under most pressure. This page shows the rates the product publishes in each region; it does not attempt to say who qualifies for it, which is a matter for the supplier rather than something visible in the rate data.
