Why we use Octopus Energy at The Frostery

WRITTEN By SUZANNE THORP, FOUNDER OF THE FROSTERY

As a small independent bakery in Manchester, energy is a significant part of how we operate. From powering our ovens to running refrigeration and lighting in the studio, reliability and cost control genuinely matter to our business.

We switched to Octopus Energy after comparing suppliers when our previous fixed tariff ended. The combination of renewable electricity, transparent pricing, and flexible tariffs made sense for how we run The Frostery.

Octopus supplies 100% renewable electricity as standard, which aligns with our efforts to operate more responsibly as a small business. It also means the energy behind every cake we create comes from certified renewable sources.

From a practical perspective, their online account system and app have been straightforward to use. Submitting readings, tracking usage, and adjusting tariffs can all be done quickly — which is important when you’re running a busy production schedule.

Customer service was also a factor in our decision. As a small business, we value being able to resolve issues efficiently, and our experience so far has been smooth.

Because we’re customers ourselves, we’re able to share an Octopus Energy referral code below. If you decide to switch, both you and we receive account credit under the official referral scheme.

We always recommend comparing tariffs to ensure it’s the right fit for your situation, but based on our experience, Octopus has worked well for our business.

The currently active and working Octopus Energy referral code for 2026 is Green-dove-338. You can also use the link https://share.octopus.energy/green-dove-338 to receive £50 free credit when you switch to Octopus Energy. The credit is applied after your first Direct Debit clears.
