My account

Hi Ovo, I wondered whether the API that powers your live and historical usage page in the account menu is something you could look into opening up a bit so we can freely access our raw data and also perhaps it may stimulate some interesting community projects? For instance (more sport related), Strava and Fitbit.

My original post on this forum seems to have disappeared so here we go againMy elderly mothers account was moved away from Ovo in Mid June. The final bill and a small refund were processed promptly. No problemsUnfortunately a subsequent direct debit for £95 was taken on 27.06I raised a complaint and a Stephanie from Account Management responded with profuse apologies and said the money would be refunded immediately (if it had not already happened). This was on 16.07Well needless to say no money has been received and when I try to  email Stephanie (hello@oveo email) I get bounced with a message saying “this email is not linked to an ovo account” Thats right….me and my mother have both moved from OvoA stroppy woman from complaints just rang me to say as I was not the account holder they would not speak to me.I dont want you to speak to me, I just want you to put back the money you have taken without permission. Stephanie was able to respond to me immediately, so why am I being bounced ar

What happened A fraudulent utility energy account has been opened using my wife’s personal details without her knowledge or consent. Her name was used to create an account with Ovo Energy Ltd, and she has no connection with the account. She did not open the account or authorize anyone to use her identity for this purpose. This is a clear case of identity theft. We did a credit report check, because we are applying for a mortgage, and found out that a utility energy account has been opened in her name. This was the first indication that her identity had been misused. She has never opened an account with this company. Actions taken so far- Reported the account to Ovo Energy Ltd as fraudulent.  - Asked for written confirmation that my wife will not be held liable for any charges.  - Requested removal of her personal details from their system where they were used without consent.  - Began investigating and provides details linked to the account. Response from Ovo "Due to current policy, al

Hi I am constantly building up a large credit balance due to what seems to be a fault in the way the direct debit charge is calculated automatically.Here is where the problem seems to be:I am charged £172 a monthIf you average the bill over the last 12 months it works out at £174 a month Excluding Charge anytime creditThe average Charge Anytime credit over the last 12 months is £28 a month meaning the average monthly bill is actually only £146 a month meaning a £28 a month direct debit overpayment which builds up a large credit quickly especially in the summer months. I have tried taking refunds and adjusting the monthly direct debit amount but all that happens is the system adjusts the direct debit amount back up as it performs the wrong calculation again and think i’m under paying. I cant be the only person with charge anytime seeing this issue, does anyone else see this or found a way to fix it. Thanks Paul

Anyone having issues accessing the OVO app this morning?

What are the new tariff prices for the latest increase for normal and E10

Hello,Sorry if a similar question has been posted.I thought standing charges were being fairer according to Ofgem?My contract will be ending soon and the new options for new contracts are roughly 10p more than my current.Today was the only option to be able renew my contract?

Can you explain why you taken £88 from my account after you confirmed I am switching away last Friday?????My balance with you is over 200£ and I need my money back!!!!  Do you think this is fair?????

Sorry, long story!I’m trying to access my Mum’s online OVO account.My father passed away recently, and the account was in his name. Contacted support and asked for the account to be switched into my Mum’s name. It appears that this is done.I have Power of Attorney for her, so I’ve provided my LPA letter and that seems fine too. Changed the registered email address to mine. Problem was that I had a dormant OVO account as I used to be a customer until about 3-4 years ago. So when I logged in it automatically selected my home address, and not my Mum’s.Support tell me that they’ve now deleted the old account, and I now have a working OVO id and password - the problem is whenever I log in, whether from my laptop or my phone, I get a message “We're working on a new website for you”. Phoned support 2 weeks ago and was told it was a problem linking my email to the account. They said they’d raise a ticket for software support to fix this, but I never received any notifications. Phoned support a

On a year-fixed-rate economy 10, will I still retain two rates charged? IE 10 at a cheaper rate.

I have a 2 yr fixed dual fuel contract finishing on the 29th Sept.The fixed deals for the same from Ovo have been reduced slightly in the last week, but are still higher than some other suppliers and above the price cap rates that come in on 1st Oct.Shall I wait to see if OVO will reduce again for fixed deal, go onto standard variable, go onto standard variable for a short while and then get a better fixed deal? 

Customers on variable tariffs (SVT) are being notified these days of tariff increases from 1 January. At the same time, many are being given the opportunity to switch to a fixed-rate tariff. I am trying to decide whether it would be a good idea to fix, but I’m not sure I have all the information I need. Gas hasn’t been invented yet in my corner of the world, so I’m only interested in electricity tariffs.Cornwall Insight are a well respected crystal-ball gazer where energy prices are concerned. Their predictions for 2024 show small ups and downs in unit prices, but one startling forecast is for a hike in the standing charge of the order of 15% on 1 April. For a light user like me, this is hugely significant. On SVT, the standing charge would amount to 37% of my bill in January, but by October this would have risen to more than 41%. The fixed rates I’m being offered would keep the standing charge at more or less the current level, so that makes fixing look like a good idea. But … we know

hi my bill stands at £8,000 .and ovo engery has not helped  . i have phoned emailed over the last two years yes thats right and they say they can help . when i say i can not afford the direct debit can i have it reduced they put it up even further. i can not do a dmp as have just come out of a iva . aslo my husband is seriously ill  with heart failure i have told them this but they still will not reduce this bill . what can i do the support is not there . i set the direct debit at £300 but they kept going for it 4 times in a month as i said i cant afford it now they have set it at £600 . i cant get this bill down i was told by ovo that i cant afford reduced my bill over 9 yrs to pay i tired that no good .😢😢😢  

OVO website seems to be useless. I already have ovo account with my email and password and can log onto my online account; I have another property and already have OVO account number but it does not let me create a second online account. when I type in my email ir keeps taking me to my original account; there is no drop down accounts as per their help page; even typing the second account no. in the user ID does not allow it. There customer is is even more useless as they take hours to answer or they dont help you to create the second online account. Thanks

Once the novelty of watching the remote display has worn off (And it doesnt like to be to far from the meter!) You start to wonder WHO did this benefit?The ONE benefit I thought i would get was accurate Direct debit amount settings! NO, you still get the OTT increases and over payments with an automated FORECAST that never reflects actual bills and seasons.Plus… I couldnt have the Gas Smart meter which is WHY i wanted one in the first place since the Gas meter is in such an awkward place to read….. all down to DISTANCE that even my bluetooth keyboard and headphones could easily cover?! I also had to waste my time and the Engineers a SECOND time as I was told OVO used the new RELAY transmitter to bridge the gap so i COULD have the Gas smart meter when HE told me no such relay is used by OVO?So, the only benefit was for the Utility companies to do away with actual meter readers!?

I can't download the app.  Keeps telling me not available for my country,  I'm in the UK 

My tariff hasn’t changed since I fixed it last year. On my March bill, its name was given as:Extended Fixed 27 February 2025On my April bill its name has changed to:Extended Fixed 27 February 2025 LPCThere’s no mention of LPC anywhere on the Our prices | OVO Energy page. What is the meaning and significance of LPC?  Should I be worried? 

Hello. Has anybody else noticed that the app is not updating with your current balance, whether credit or debit? App has been deleted and reinstalled. Customer care is aware of this issue but it’s been two weeks now. 

What is the best way to pay for my energy with Ovo? direct debit or fixed deal 

I’m currently on the 2 Year Fixed 18 April 2024 and have now had the email about moving to another fixed plan. while looking into this i looked in the Ovo app and have 3 different unit prices for electricity and gas showing in different places and now have no idea which one to use as a comparison. The bill shows the rate as 23.85p per kWhThe View Plan and Rate is showing 20.51p per kWhon the renew page if is select current contract it shows 21.54p per kWh Does anyone know why there would be 3 different rates shown for the same plan?  

Hello all,I need some help with some information here that maybe I am misunderstanding.I started a fixed rate tariff with OVO in mid september 2025 coming up to April my ovo account was closed due to an erroneous transfer, which I had sorted. Since then I have not seen the reduction I was expecting from April due to the government levy changes. In fact I have seen no reduction at all in my contract.I called up and an agent told me that because I am currently below the market price cap they did not make any unit rate changes to my account, but as far as I am aware the levy should have been applied to all accounts including fixed rate regardless if they are already below the price cap. Am I correct in this regard, as this is what it sounds like it should be from information on OVO’s website, ofgem and martin lewis.Thanks

I have been trying to setup my OVO account.  I get sent an email with a link to set the password and I do it within 2 minutes, but each time I get a message saying:  Your password reset link is invalid or expired.So, I click the link to Request another password resetAnd we go around again.  I’m sick of it.How can something so simple be so rubbish. Since the SSE → OVO change happened, not a single thing has gone smoothly.
