Does OVO have an energy fund for customer struggling with bills?

Does OVO still have an energy fund that can be applied to, to help with an existing energy debt?  I have tried applying to British Gas for a grant for non-customers and they have said that they cannot help as OVO has its own energy fund.

The OVO fund is closed at the moment and so cannot be found on the webpage right now. You can still access the Customer Support Package for additional help: https://customer-support-package.ovoenergy.com/. We can only accept your first application, so it’s important to make sure all the information you give is accurate.

Hey @Gibson71,

 

That’s a really good question,

 

What is the OVO fund?


The OVO Fund is a fund to help people who’ve fallen behind with their energy payments to OVO, fallen into debt and who want to become more financially stable in future.

When is a customer eligible for this service?

  • They have, or have had, an account with OVO Energy.
  • They have run up a debt on your gas or electricity account of at least £150.
  • Their annual household income is £16,190 or less.


How can this service be accessed?

Hope this helps.

@Blastoise186 no problem.  I’ve emailed them, but hope @Emmanuelle_OVO may be able to help in the meantime.
