The offer
A battery that
A battery that
pays you back.
Axle Energy is a battery export platform that pools UK batteries into a Virtual Power Plant. When the grid is under stress, Axle briefly dispatches your battery to export power and currently pays £1/kWh for every unit exported during those events. In between, you use your battery as you always have.
Pair it with Octopus Agile Outgoing, a half-hourly export tariff from Octopus Energy, and your battery can earn in two ways: half-hourly export prices day to day, plus grid-stress payments when Axle calls on it. What you earn depends on your battery, your usage and the rates at the time.
Synergy Power specifies and installs a compatible battery, commissions it with your smart meter and helps you sign up to both platforms. Axle states there are no hidden fees and no lock-in.
