Try Octopus for a SEG contract.

Thanks - I can't do this one as I'm about to jump on their Go which is not compatible with their SEG contract

Looks like OVO or ScottishPower are the next best then.  Energy supplier	Price	Name of tariff
Octopus Energy	7.5p/kWh	Export Payments
Bulb (for its own customers)	5.57p/kWh	Outgoing Fixed
E.On (for new E.On solar PV customers)	5.5p/kWh	Fix & Export Exclusive
OVO	4p/kWh	OVO SEG Tariff
ScottishPower	4p/kWh	Smart Export Variable Tariff
SSE	3.5p/kWh	Smart Export Tariff
Shell Energy	3.5p/kWh	SEG V1 Tariff
British Gas	3.2p/kWh	Export & Earn Flex

I think it is. You won't get the full 7.5p/kWh Octopus Outgoing rate but they will pay you something (I think it's 4.1p/kWh). Email seg@octopus.energy and they can let you know for sure.

Thanks for the table - this helps a lot!

QrizB I took it from their site:

• Currently, you can't be on both outgoingOctopus and OctopusGo, our EV tariff, at the same time.

No harm in finding from the Octopus' mouth though

You can be on Octopus Go and SEG at 4.1p/kWh. It can take a few weeks and there's not much in the way of communication from them whilst it is being sorted out.
