Whilst looking at renewing contracts/ suppliers I was weighing up SEG options and saw that OVO offer 12p/kWh for beyond accounts.

I've been getting 4p/kWh for the last few years and would like to get the 12p.

I have beyond already, so what is this process to move over to this better paying SEG arrangement?

There are a series of rates available depending on various situations .. 

Just a SEG tariff

A SEG tariff and supplied energy by OVO (with Beyond)

A SEG tariff, supplied energy by OVO and had solar PV installed by OVO

There is an application form available but Customer Support should also be able to help.

Hi ​@supercitybity ,

I couldn’t find anything about that, so you might want to have a word with the team.

Try the regular Support Team in the first instance.

Hello supercitybity

I don’t have solar and know next to zero about them. If I were you I’d contact customer service team and have a chat. Sounds a big difference in earning

With questions k know little about I usually make a list of the questions j think I’ll need to ask and j take screen shot periodically so I have any answers and suggestions easily available. 
j hope you get t he answers you need to enable you to migrate to OVO & obtain a better rate. 
good luck 

Chris.

Hey ​@supercitybity,

 

Have you had a chance to review the excellent advice we've already received?

 

As ​@BPLightlog mentioned, several rates apply depending on your situation. The included link provides a detailed breakdown.

Yes, i have. I have gone around and around on the app and site and not found a clear way, so just emailed ovo now.

Thank you for changing the title to a question i didn’t ask, as i knew that answer to start with! Its probably easier to change the question to fit the best answer, than to offer an accurate answer! 

I know the options, its just moving over to the better one. I guess as SEG is such a niche offering its not worth adding it to the app.

To close this one out.

It a simple as emailing seg@ovoenergy.com and asking them to move me to the beyond (better) rate. They then wanted a video of my meter showing the current export rate and moved me over based on that rate. Very efficient, just a shame that the 12p rate isn’t advertised more. I believe my old/existing SEG account was closed down and a new one started.
