Just as importantly, it is a lot quieter than the Lasko High Velocity fan, although still a bit louder than most bike fan attachments. As one of Europe’s largest investors in renewable energy, its fund management specialist team launched in 2010 with a mission to accelerate the transition to a future powered by renewable energy. In the UK, Octopus has stakes in the Lincs offshore wind farm and one of the world’s largest wind farms, Hornsea One – both off the east coast of England, as it scales its offshore wind activity in the UK and across the globe. Winder* is Octopus’ answer to the slow development of onshore wind energy in the UK in recent years. Local wind power is the future, and we’re bringing it to communities across the UK via the Octopus Fan Club.

This venture was born when an Oxfordshire community banded together to develop renewable generation on local farmland. Octopus Energy Generation is a trading name that comprises Octopus Renewables Ltd and other subsidiaries of Octopus Energy Group Ltd. Dirty energy sources, like coal, gas and oil, work really differently to renewables – they can be pumped and burnt in whatever quantity we need to meet demand.We first launched the Fan Club in the UK to revolutionise the current system of renewable generation – and it’s a massive milestone for us to now expand it into the US and Germany,” said Zosia North-Bond, CEO of Octopus Energy Generation. In terms of sound, the VeloQuip is the quietest fan on this list, and in terms of design, it is the best by far. We’ve now updated those services to connect to the Fan Club too so, for example, you can now tell Alexa to ‘ask Octopus when I last got a Fan Club discount’ or to ‘ask Octopus whether I am likely to get a Fan Club discount today.

Both investors back businesses that drive sustainability, promote green energy and tackle climate change. More broadly, Octopus Energy Group has been stepping up its generation capabilities, with plans to create 18 gigawatts of clean energy generation projects by 2027. This also ensures that we can supply a steady stream of renewable-backed energy 24/7, when the sun isn’t shining, and the wind isn’t blowing.

Due to the low quality of wind as a fuel source, and high capital expenditure, operational expenditure, and grid management costs, electricity from wind power is extremely expensive and drives up all consumer bills very significantly. At the moment the tariff tied to wind energy generation is restricted to homes located close to their wind turbine installations. As their installations grow so will the opportunities for others to take advantage of this discounted electricity rate. It sits completely underneath the handlebars so it never interferes with hand placement or gets in the way of the screen.
