Interview: Listen to Octopus boss Greg Jackson discuss how we can bring bills down

As the founder and CEO of Octopus Energy, Greg Jackson knows more about Britain’s household energy than almost anyone else.

Octopus has gone from a challenger energy firm to Britain’s biggest household gas and electricity supplier and is at the forefront of transforming the market. 

In this interview with This is Money’s Simon Lambert, Greg explains why bills are still so high, what we can do as a nation to try to bring them down – and the future of household energy.

He discusses what people need to know about solar panels, heat pumps, electric cars and agile energy deals – and what we can do for those who don’t want any of those things.

He also discusses an idea that he is passionated about, making renewable energy cheaper – and sometimes even free – for those nearer to the source, which he believes could help both individuals and businesses – and attract big technology firms to the UK.
