Does OVO have any plans to launch an agile Time-Of-Use (TOU) tariff?

Will you be launching an agile tariff similar to the Octopus one - https://octopus.energy/agile/

Whilst we’ve not got immediate plans to introduce the type of dynamic plans discussed below we’ve already launched a ‘Type-of-Use’- EV plan - OVO Drive + Anytime which offers EV drivers an exclusive price for the energy used to charge up their wheels! :blue_car:

Hey @tony1tf,

 

Thanks for your great question.

 

We haven’t launched a Time-Of-Use tariff.

 

Unfortunately, I imagine given the current market volatility and everything going on with implementation of the Energy Bills Support Scheme and the Energy Price Guarantee this is unlikely to be prioritized. But it’s certainly a good idea. 

 

We have just launched ‘OVO Power Move’ which might be of interest you. 

Renewable Energy? Big Fan.

Thanks @Emmanuelle_OVO - just looked at that. Doesn’t look like that will be of much benefit to us customers that already have smart meters, smart (EV) chargers, timers on immersion heaters, solar PV etc.  We already tend to turn on domestic devices when the sun shines!

Personally i think it is important to get as as many new domestic customers involved as possible, so you are probably not a priority given the great progress you have already made. Well done! 

There is also a big push currently by the National Grid ESO on non domestic consumption. Currently only 32.7% of electricity consumption is domestic. So there are big wins to be made on non domestic consumption as well.

I have given up waiting for OVO to offer a ToU tariff, and so I am now switching suppliers.  OVO needs to be more flexible in its tariff offerings. 😥

Hi @TerryE 

Out of curiosity. 

Are you switching to Octopus Agile?
