Hello, we're OVO
Join us on the path to energy that’s better for you, better for your wallet - and better for the planet.
We launched in 2009 with a belief that energy could be better. Since then we’ve welcomed over a million members, planted 5 million trees and set our sights on helping to save the planet. In 2019 we launched Plan Zero - our sustainability plan.
That’s why we’re helping UK homes on the Path to Zero. With a range of smart tech to choose from and our expert teams by your side, we can help you take steps to reduce your energy bills and our collective carbon footprint. Since 2015 we've planted 5 million UK trees in schools and communities across the UK on behalf of our customers.
So, whether you’re just getting started or well on your way, join us on the path to energy that works better for you, your wallet and the planet.

Carbon-cutting energy is just the beginning
The journey to zero carbon is about more than just renewable energy. It’s about changing the way we use energy in our homes and beyond them. And new technologies will help us.
That’s why we’re crunching smart meter data into easy, personalised actions, turning electric vehicles into power stations with clever chargers, keeping you cosy with energy-efficient heaters– and developing lots of new tech for the future.
When you join OVO, you join a team of us making small changes to our energy use to help build a sustainable energy system of the future.

Creating a greener, brighter future for the next generation
We believe every child and young person should have access to nature - and be able to learn about protecting the planet they love. That’s why we launched OVO Foundation in 2014, OVO’s climate-focused charity. OVO Foundation supports a broad range of impactful projects that equip young people with the knowledge, skills and opportunities to actively engage with and address the climate crisis.
Everything we do is funded by generous donations from OVO customers. Every penny that is donated is matched by OVO and 100% of donations goes directly to support our projects. So together, we can do double the good.
If you’re an OVO customer, you can donate to OVO Foundation.
