Octopus Energy CEO Suggests Households Could Accept Occasional Blackouts for Lower Bills

Octopus Energy CEO Greg Jackson has suggested some households would accept occasional electricity blackouts in exchange for 25% lower energy bills, sparking controversy on the anniversary of Europe's largest power outage in Spain and Portugal. The comments come as UK dual fuel bills are expected to rise to almost £2,000 from July, with grid upgrade costs climbing from £254 to £457 annually. Jackson, 54, clarified he was not advocating for blackouts but said Spanish consumers would accept occasional outages for cheaper electricity. At least six people died in last year's Iberian blackout, including two who died after being unable to run breathing equipment.

Octopus Energy CEO suggests households might accept blackouts for lower bills

Octopus Energy CEO Greg Jackson has suggested some households might accept occasional electricity blackouts in exchange for significantly lower energy bills, citing Spain's 25% cheaper electricity as a model. Speaking at an industry conference on the anniversary of Europe's largest power outage that affected tens of millions in Spain and Portugal, Jackson clarified he is not advocating for blackouts but argued consumers would trade reliability for lower costs. The comments come as Octopus Energy campaigns against tens of billions of pounds in UK grid investment that it says drives up household bills.

Giant Apex Predator Octopuses Discovered in Cretaceous Fossil Record

Researchers using a new Digital Fossil Mining technique have discovered fossilized jaws from giant Cretaceous octopods that reached up to 19 meters in length, challenging the long-held view that vertebrates alone dominated the Mesozoic marine food chain. The species Nanaimoteuthis haggarti had powerful beaks showing wear patterns from crushing hard prey, and lateralized behavior suggesting high intelligence comparable to modern octopuses.

Giant Ancient Octopuses Discovered in Japan Fossils Rivaled Apex Predators

Researchers have discovered fossilized remains of two giant octopus species from the late Cretaceous period (100 million years ago) in northern Japan. Using innovative digital fossil-mining techniques with AI, they found jaws inside concretions that indicate the creatures reached up to 60 feet in length — larger than a school bus and rivaling other apex predators of the era. These ancient octopuses likely fed on hard-shelled prey like shrimp and lobster, and showed signs of right-side jaw dominance suggesting early brain development.

Prehistoric Giant Octopus Fossil Discovery Reveals 'Real Cretaceous Kraken'

Researchers have identified fossils of a giant prehistoric octopus, Nanaimoteuthis haggarti, that lived during the Cretaceous period 86-72 million years ago. The species reached 7-19m in length, making it one of the largest invertebrates ever recorded. Found in Japan and Vancouver Island, the fossils show wear on the creature's beak indicating it hunted large prey, supporting comparisons to the mythical kraken.

Giant Octopus Fossils Reveal Ancient Kraken-Like Predators Dominated Oceans

Scientists have identified ancient octopus fossils belonging to genus Nanaimoteuthis, particularly Nanaimoteuthis haggarti, which may have grown up to 19 meters (62 feet) long—longer than a bus and possibly the largest invertebrate ever recorded. Analysis of 27 fossilized beaks reveals these creatures were apex predators in Cretaceous oceans, using intelligence and crushing bite force to dominate marine ecosystems alongside mosasaurs and plesiosaurs.

Giant Ancient Octopuses May Have Been Top Ocean Predators 100 Million Years Ago

Researchers from Hokkaido University in Japan have analyzed exceptionally preserved fossil jaws from 100 million-year-old octopuses, estimating body lengths of 1.5-4.5 metres and total lengths including arms of 7-19 metres. The findings challenge the long-held belief that ancient ocean predators were exclusively vertebrates, suggesting giant cephalopods were powerful predators capable of consuming hard-shelled prey.
