@OctopusEnergy @g__j you’ve changed your website so that logging in and out of different accounts is a lot more fiddly. I look after two elderly relatives’ Octopus accounts and it now takes me an age to login and log out as so many more steps - aargh

Breaking News in the Energy Market! 🚨 Today marks a historic milestone as @OctopusEnergy is announced as the largest domestic household energy supplier in Great Britain according to new data from Cornwall Insight. The first major shift in market leadership since the early days of market liberalisation in the 1990s. Measured by the total number of electricity and gas accounts it has on live supply, as of 31 October 2024, our Domestic Energy Market Share Survey shows Octopus Energy has: 💡23.7% of the market share, surpassing the second-largest supplier by 0.6%. 🏚️12.9 million household energy accounts Our data shows six companies hold over 90% of the market share, with only 8.9% of the market held by small and medium suppliers outside these companies. This marks a significant shift from the period before the energy crisis, when small and medium suppliers held more than 30% of the domestic energy market.

Remember the lurid headlines about the cost of bulb’s failure? Turns out the govt made huge profit on the Octopus deal and no loss on the whole bailout.
When others banged their fists and tried to bully the govt into a bad deal, we worked hard to create a fair one. And it worked.

Exclusive: Octopus Energy, the UK’s second-biggest household energy supplier, will say tomorrow that it has paid over £3bn to the government in connection with the 2022 rescue of rival Bulb, generating a profit for taxpayers of more than £1.5bn. news.sky.com/story/octopus-…

@integerman @Apress Thank you for this Matt - I'll ask someone at Apress to remember to consider alt text on their social posts, and consider better contrast.

@JoyBrooks99 @OctopusEnergy @g__j Hey Joy! Thanks for considering joining. Our dark mode does meet WCAG standards, but totally understand it can be hard to read. We’re working on a web light mode & any emails you receive from us can be changed to light mode. You can also get in touch if you struggle with anything

@octopusenergy @g__j I had considered switching to Octopus but your interface is hard for me to use. The white on dark blue, cyan magenta purple is visually disturbing. Does this meet WCAG standards? Is there an alt version?

@Pepperpottys @OctopusEnergy @g__j You're absolutely right Emma, sorry about that. Here is a version with reduced motion, and we'll make sure it's used in any advertising moving forward. Really appreciate you flagging it.

@OctopusEnergy @MrFirthy @g__j Would love to see the video match the book. Fast moving text and flashing images makes it a big no no for people with vestibular and neurological conditions like mine.
