Caffè Nero has become Octopus Energy’s biggest business customer, switching 630 stores in the UK to the ‘Electric Match’ tariff.

The Group’s energy will be sourced from three solar and wind farms in Yorkshire, Wales and Lincolnshire, managed by Octopus Energy’s generation arm and Caffè Nero can shift its energy usage to optimal times, maximising savings. Octopus estimates that its ‘Electric Match’ tariff could slash Caffè Nero’s annual electricity bills in the UK by up to 17 per cent. This direct link to British green energy sites will also help Caffè Nero improve its Scope 2 reporting through a traceable and time-matched green energy supply.

Will Stratton-Morris, Caffè Nero UK CEO, commented: “I’m delighted we’ve strengthened our strategic partnership with Octopus Energy. The response to the rewards programme we launched earlier this year has been hugely positive and it’s great to be able to work together further to drive an environmental benefit to our customers and teams. I’m excited about where this partnership can lead.”

The strategic partnership between Octopus and Caffè Nero began earlier this year, with the aim of promoting a more sustainable future for customers and employees.
