Today, we’re sharing some important news about OVO.

We’re set to become part of E.ON, subject to regulatory approvals. Our Home Services business (including our boiler insurance and boiler servicing) will also be moving to Hometree, subject to regulatory approvals.

 

We know this is a big update, so we want to explain what it means for you and what happens next.

 

 

What does this mean for our customers

 

Right now nothing changes.

 

You don’t need to do anything. Your energy supply, your tariff, and the way you interact with us all stay the same. The same teams will continue to support you, just as they do today.

 

We’ll keep you updated as things progress, and we’ll let you know well in advance if anything is going to change.

 

 

Why we’re joining E.ON

 

We’ve spent the past 16 years building OVO into one of the UK’s leading energy suppliers, helping millions of customers use less energy, and make greener choices.

 

Looking ahead, we believe being part of a larger energy group like E.ON is the best way to keep building on that and continue improving what we offer to customers over the long term.

 

 

What happens next

 

Before anything changes, the sale needs to go through a regulatory approval process.

 

Until the deal completes, OVO and E.ON will continue to operate as separate businesses and everything stays as it is today.

 

When there are updates to share, we’ll be in touch with clear information about what it means for you.

 

 

Thank you

 

We know OVO matters to a lot of our customers, and we’re really proud of what we’ve built together over the years.

 

Thank you for being part of that.

Noel | I have no official status; I'm just a volunteer who comes here to help other customers. My gear: Aclara SGM 1416-B Electricity-only E7 meter; Chameleon IHD3-PPMID-AAA | It may look as if I know what I’m talking about, but don’t let that fool you. |

It’s not clear if OVO sells the business or just joins the bigger energy group? 
Either way, not happy about it.

I’m not happy either. I moved to E.ON to get away from OVOs debacle over the EV tariff. 🤔

You are safe, E.ON is not going to become OVO 😁

I hope that, if OVO and E.On do become part of the same group that it will mean that OVO will introduce tariff choices similar to those offered by E.ON. They have some interesting time of use tariffs that could benefit some users.

Morning ​@delboy61, I hope you’re well.

 

From a quick Google search, I can see that Eon do offer Economy 10. I found this information on their website here.

 

For now, you’ll remain supplied by OVO. The sale needs to go through a regulatory approval process, and we’ll share more with you as soon as we have further info.

Morning all, as it stands, we have no further info to share on the Forum than that which is included in the link ​@Firedog has shared. We’ll of course let you know as soon as we have more news. As it stands, the acquisition is awaiting regulatory approval, and it’ll be some months before any changes are made, should the acquisition happen.

As ​@Ben_OVO said, it’s still awaiting regulatory approval.
In the words of Lance Corporal Jones: "Don't panic!".

When approval takes place and I am sure it will, will it be in 2026?

How will it affect my solar/battery warranty that is only a year old?

 

Thanks
