Octopus Energy has shaken up the green technology market with a massive announcement at its flagship Energy Tech Summit: the launch of its very own home battery range, called the Octopus Nook.
This groundbreaking move makes Octopus the first major British energy supplier to design and launch its own dedicated battery range directly for consumers. Slated for release next year across the UK, Germany, France, Italy, and Spain, the Nook range is designed to unlock lower energy bills for millions of households – including those who have traditionally been locked out of home energy storage.

Why Home Batteries Are a Win for Your Wallet
Home batteries allow you to store clean, green electricity when prices are at their lowest (or when solar panels are generating excess power) and use it later when grid energy is more expensive. When paired with one of Octopus’s smart tariffs, this setup can save households hundreds of pounds a year.
Until now, home batteries required complex, permanent wall installations, meaning Britain’s 10 million renting households were entirely left behind. The Nook range changes the game completely.
The Octopus Nook Cube: Perfect for Renters and Apartments
The standout innovation in this new lineup is the Octopus Nook Cube.
-
Plug-and-Play Simplicity: This compact, shoebox-sized 2kWh battery does not require an engineer to install. You simply plug it directly into a standard wall socket.
-
Scalable Storage: Controlled easily through the Octopus app, you can stack extra units together to increase your total storage capacity up to 10.5kWh.
-
Completely Portable: Because it simply plugs in, renters can easily pack it up and take it with them when they move to a new property.
The Octopus Nook Colossus: Built for Homeowners
For larger households and permanent homeowners, Octopus is introducing a wall-mounted system called the Octopus Nook Colossus.
-
Heavy-Duty Power: This system is available in 5kWh and 10kWh base models.
-
Maximum Scalability: Homeowners can stack multiple units together to reach a massive 30kWh of storage capacity.
-
Professional Setup: Unlike the Cube, this system is wall-mounted and safely installed by Octopus’s own expert engineers.
Both the Cube and Colossus systems come with an impressive 12-year warranty and are fully compatible with solar panel setups.
Maximise Your Savings with Smart Tariffs
To get the absolute most out of the Nook range, you can pair these batteries with Octopus’s specialised smart tariffs. By automatically charging the battery when energy prices are low or even negative, and discharging it when the grid is under stress, Octopus customers have already saved nearly £1 billion.
