Usage not in pounds on Online Account


Userlevel 2

Like many other customers I am unable to see my usage in pounds as I could some time ago. This is very inconvenient as a pensioner I keep a close eye on my usage. I have contacted customer service via phone, chat etc to no avail, all they say is that it’s been passed to the technical team who will ring me!! They haven’t and it’s been a long time now. Any suggestions?

Where are you looking @Peewyn ? Some of the daily chart detail is only in kwh

I’ve looked everywhere daily, monthly and yearly. When I rang customer service they didn’t know the answer either !! I do not hav3 the option to change from kWh to £ as I did previously.

On your daily usage chart, you will not see cost .. it’s not an option.

On your monthly chart, you should have the choice to switch between them .. or are you using the app?

I don’t have the option like you are showing otherwise I would have done it as previously the sliding key is not available now.

@Peewyn try the website rather than app

Have you tried deleting and reinstalling the app?

Yes I have no luck I’m afraid I deleted and reinstated both on iPad and iPhone plus went into account via Google.

I don't have an iPhone. I wonder if the browser is redirecting to the app. 

You could know for sure by deleting the app and just logging on via the website. Then post what you see again. Then you can be sure you are looking at the website.

OK so stay on the website not the app

Check your tariff is correct on this page

OK, good. 

Double check here that OVO are getting smart meter readings.. Should be a daily reading with the word smart next to it

https://account.ovoenergy.com/meter-readings/history/electricity

And double check your bills are updating correctly

OK @Peewyn that is about as much that any of us can do on the forum in terms of diagnosis as we are just customers like you and can't obviously access your account.

I would put in a complaint so your issue is easy to track etc.

Include a link to this thread as your screenshots will help.

Point out. 

1. OVO are getting smart meter readings on the readings page

2. The tariff details are correct on the plan page

3. The bills are updating correctly on the billing page

4. On the app on iPhone/iPad on the Usage page the kWh data is displayed correctly but there are no toggle switches for. KWh/£ on the Month or Year tabs

5. On the website on the usage page the kWh data is correctly displayed, but a missing data message is displayed on the Monthly and Yearly tab when toggling to Cost. 

6. It looks to me like an account specific issue as it impacts you on both the website and the app, albeit slightly differently.

Many thanks

One of the OVO moderators is following up internally with OVO staff as well to see if they can give more information.

It looks like it is happening to multiple customers. 

I will post an update on this thread if i see anything.

Thank you dreadful service so far I’ve been waiting weeks for someone to call me and to sort this out

Hey @Peewyn and @Jeffus,

 

We’ve had a response from the team:

 

It's a known issue relating to this data not being made available. Work is happening to improve these usage sections. 

 

In the meantime, as long as your smart meters send us your readings every day, you can refer to your daily costs in your current billing. 

 

Really hope this gets sorted soon and will update this thread if we hear any developments.

Thank you at least I’m not the only one having problems.
