About the Job

Electrify Britain is a groundbreaking initiative launched by EDF and Octopus Energy to drive the widespread electrification of the UK. Our mission is to make energy cheaper, more secure, and drive economic growth through electrification.

Electrification is crucial to achieving net zero emissions. Currently, transport accounts for 23% of UK emissions, and domestic heating contributes 15%. By transitioning to electric vehicles and electrified homes, we can dramatically cut these emissions and reduce household energy costs.
