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.

Hey ​@Ksansbury 

Until confirmation from the proper regulatory processes taking place nothing changes for OVO and EON customers.

Once we do have confirmation, we hope to have lots more updates and information to share once we understand what’s happening with the acquistion and what this means for all affected customers.

 

Sorry we cannot offer more in terms of expectations at this moment in time.

I'm not lazy, I'm just in energy saving mode!

I am a little concerned, I’m having a Hypervolt Pro 3 fitted on Thursday. Obviously checked all works with my Tarif and vehicle (Volvo C40 single). I looked at Eon with the news of a possible buy out and their site said it wasn't compatible. How can this be do they have different electricity than OVO? I’m very confussed.

Hi ​@DFC202 ,

Nothing is changing at the moment so I wouldn’t worry too much - if you’re with OVO now then the Hypervolt 3 Pro is fully compatible with Charge Anytime and will remain that way for the foreseeable future.

Securing energy by zapping security bugs... For that is The Blastoise Way! Remember, I'm just like you - AI Powered Evil Geniuses aren't Staff!

The detail is that Eon use Kraken to manage the charging and OVO use Kaluza. Even though OVO is being sold to Eon those customers who were OVO will still use Kaluza so nothing should change. The electricity is all the same but it is managed differently in individual companies but you will still be an ‘OVO customer’ under the Eon brand. Think of it as a branding exercise and nothing changes internally.

Was it the part of the deal, to keep the name three letters long, two vowels and one consonant, with at least one of them to be “O”? 😄

To the tune of ‘Old Macdonald ...’, E-O-NO-V-O.
