Want to help create a new energy tariff with Mumsnet & Octopus Energy?

NOW CLOSED

We’ve recently heard from Mumsnetters that many of you are unhappy with your energy providers and tariffs and most of you hate the hassle of having to switch every year to get the cheapest deal. So we’ve decided to partner with challenger energy supplier Octopus Energy to work with our users to create a brilliant energy tariff for the modern world.

In order to create the Mumsnet energy tariff we need 5 UK Mumsnetters to come along to Octopus Energy HQ in Central London on Monday 10th September to discuss what makes a great energy tariff.

Here’s what Rebecca Dibb-Simkin, Product & Marketing Director at Octopus Energy, has to say:

Octopus Energy was launched in 2016 with a mission to do energy better - for the customer and for the environment. We keep customers at the heart of our business, from our fair and transparent prices, to the simplicity of our bills, to being available over email and social media at times that suit - 8am-10pm, 7 days a week. We want to make the eco-friendly choice the easy choice, so all of our tariffs use 100% green electricity (at prices to match or beat our competitors’ non-green tariffs). This fresh approach to energy is possible through our game-changing tech. Along with keeping customers happy in the short term, our amazing team are pioneering the technology that’s going to change the industry, from the big ideas to the small.”

Here’s more information about the focus group day at Octopus Energy HQ:

  • The focus group will take place on Monday 10th September during business hours
  • We will cover travel costs up to £200
  • Lunch will be provided
  • The day will consist of meeting the founders and employees of Octopus Energy to learn about how they work and interact with customers and workshops to come up with ideas for a new kind of energy tariff
  • Each participant will receive a £200 Marks and Spencer voucher for taking part

If you are interested in taking part please sign up here. We will be in touch with those selected soon.

Thanks,

MHNQ

Be nice if you could accommodate such tests for us northerners ! Would love to attend but too far.

I have entered. Sounds very interesting.

BumbleBerries · 02/09/2018 20:12

I have a small baby, I assume she can't come?

cheekaa · 03/09/2018 17:14

Would love to join you for your research..

Live in West London.

MyRelationshipIsWeird · 03/09/2018 18:39

Applied! Fingers crossed.

MyRelationshipIsWeird · 03/09/2018 18:42

Bumble, one of the questions on the application is whether you would have to bring along small children etc so they are obviously open to it. But whether your baby would enjoy a day chatting about energy tariffs probably depends a bit on their age! I imagine a little baby won’t be much trouble but a toddler could find it quite a bore (although I did request some nice biscuits on my application Wink )

BumbleBerries · 04/09/2018 18:11

Thanks myrelationship, I've applied

specialsubject · 04/09/2018 19:10

M and S vouchers? How very London... :-)

Aldi vouchers and I'd do the trip. I see HQ is in Holborn so clearly business is good...

MyRelationshipIsWeird · 09/09/2018 10:08

Who else is going then? Looking forward to meeting some of you lovely vipers in person!

CatkinToadflax · 09/09/2018 15:30
