Generation Investment Management and Canada Pension Plan Investment Board have deepened their investments to support international expansion.

"Bringing globally respected long-term investors on board helps raise our profile in key markets, and open up new opportunities to continue our international expansion. I’m delighted to partner with more pension funds, including Aware Super, and am excited at the prospect of accelerating Octopus and Kraken in North America and beyond, and continuing to invest in technologies that drive a smarter, cheaper energy system. I’m grateful to our hugely supportive existing investors for making this possible, and their continued commitment to our long term mission."

Existing shareholders including Origin Energy, Tokyo Gas, and CPP Investments provided the funding.

"We remain obsessive about customers – we’ve been awarded “Which? Recommended” an unprecedented 6 years in a row and according to consultants Bain**, Octopus Energy is rated 44 points higher than the next best company."
