Octopus In Colour Internship 2026 - Octopus Energy Generation - The Collective

Addressing Black representation in the energy industry
At Octopus Energy, our mission is to drive the global renewable revolution and make green energy affordable for all. We recognise that Black professionals make up far less than 2% of the energy workforce. To address this under representation we have created an internship programme open only to candidates who identify as Black, Black British, African or Caribbean.
