My account

I fell over a new version of the account website this morning, having followed a link in a banner that read:   You're in an older version of the site. Switch over to beta to see new features and updates.   I’ve only had the briefest of looks around, so I haven’t really formed an opinion about it yet. I must say, though, that the new site isn’t at all repellent!  I’ve started this thread in the hope that those who try out the new site will come here and share their feedback about it. Since we’re all getting used to the threaded version of the community forum, I’d suggest that:If you’re posting about a specific feature or aspect of the site, if there’s a loose floating Reply box at the foot of the window, use that. Start your post with a brief heading - e.g. Meter readings - and use the option on the Styles menu in the editor box to format it as a Small heading. This might help keep the feedback a bit more organized. If you want to comment on a topic that someone else started, use the Re

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.

Ive had an email to say my fixed tariff is coming to its end. Ive had a look at the fixed tariffs available to me with Ovo and Ive also done a tariff comparison with other suppliers. I can get a much cheaper tariff elsewhere. My question is if I call customer services and give them the details of what I can get with other suppliers is there a deal to be done? Similar to what can be done with insurance renewals. I would happily stay with Ovo if they can match, or come very close to, the kwh and standing charges I can get with another company.

Totally confused. I have advised OVO that I have changed my email address yet they keep sending emails to my old address which I now cannot read!

Dear Ovo team,  I hope you are well. I would appreciate it if you could help me set up an account. I have just moved in, and my stress is quite high, please.  ​I​ have received ​my welcome email. ​I am trying to set up an account, but I am not receiving a verification email, and I cannot activate my account! The bot AI is not very helpful. Best Joanna 

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?

Is there actually an easy way of talking to Customer Services? I've been waiting on online chat for an hour and I'm still in a queue. All I need to do is register for the new Ovo app so I can add credit to my meters. One would have thought registering for an app would be simple and straightforward. Apparently not, as Ovo insist on telling me I've entered the wrong account details. I haven't got time to wait any longer as I've got things to do. Don't Ovo realise that people are busy and haven't got time to sit around all day?So, I've wasted all that time and still can't use the app. Now what do I do?

I've just opened the OVO website to input my meter readings, which I do on 6th of every month. I noticed that on my electricity meter reading, another reading has been added (not by me) on 13th July. It says "Network actual". Does anyone have any idea where this came from or why this was added? It is actually less than the reading I sent a week earlier. This is the first time I have ever noticed this. 

Hi all,Sorry if this has already being discussed. For months I've tried to access me OVO account but receive the same message "were bringing you a new website" but this is since May. I've tried the app and still the same message. Is there an issue with the website?Thank you.

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

My understanding is that you put in Actual meter readings on the last day of your current billing period then you get a bill based on those readings If this is the case then why am I getting an estimated reading on my heating meter only on the 30 th September when my current billing period ends on the 8 th October which is when I should submit actual readings to obtain up to date bill for that period  I only have  electricity energy Not  gas 

How do i contact Ovo Customer Services - is it only through this forum?

Hello, Is it currently possible to switch to an economy 7 tariff with OVO? I’m struggling to find any recent information about this as it seems like everything has come to a standstill with the impending October energy price rise. Thanks.

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

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

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
