To get set up for your SEG account with Octopus Energy you must  have a copy of your MCS certificate and DNO letter. Urbn Solar has no control over the length of time it takes to open your export account and all enquiries should be made to Octopus Energy.

Step One -

Visit https://octopus.energy/smart/outgoing

Read through the information on this page and decide which tariff you wish to go onto. If you want the advantages of the Octopus Flux tariff then apply for Agile. If you want to be paid £0.15p per kWh no matter what time you export then apply for outgoing.
