Still undecided? Here’s our frequently asked questions
A kilowatt hour (kWh) is a unit of measurement for measuring electricity. It’s equal to the power that you would use if you left a 1,000 Watt appliance running for an hour. Read our complete guide to kilowatt hours.
Not sure how many kWhs you use each month? No worries – you can still get a simplified electricity quote without it.
No. When you switch suppliers, your electricity and gas will continue uninterrupted – so put the torch and candles away!
There’s no need. We’ll do all the legwork for you, so sit back and relax.
If you’re on a variable plan with OVO, good news: you can switch to a fixed tariff at any time, and your new plan will start the very next day. There’s no exit fees and no hassle. If you’re on a fixed tariff, you can change plans when you’re in your “renewal window”, 53 days before the end of your contract – otherwise, you might have to pay an exit fee. Your new plan will start when your current one ends. Read more about switching between OVO plans here.

Terms and Conditions
1 From 1 October 2022, 100% renewable electricity is only available to customers who currently have an electricity smart meter or who have a smart meter installed. To book a smart meter installation or for more information, head here. Not all customers may be able to have a smart meter installed. Terms and eligibility criteria apply, please see here for details. If you are on a fixed contract you will still receive 100% renewable energy until the end of your contract. The renewable electricity we sell is backed by renewable certificates (Renewable Energy Guarantee of Origin certificates, also known as REGOs). Get more details on REGOs and how these work here. A proportion of the electricity we sell is also purchased directly from renewable power generators in the UK.
2 OVO Energy plants 1 million trees across the UK each year with its tree planting partners, The Conservation Volunteers and the Woodland Trust. Trees absorb carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, so planting trees helps to slow down climate change.
4 Saving based on the estimated annual cost for a non-economy-7, dual-fuel, high user (4300 kWhs elec. and 17000 kWhs gas) paying monthly in advance by Direct Debit. Comparisons made against the Ofgem published tariff cap for a customer on a standard variable or default tariff that comes into effect on 01/04/2021, applied to the same high user consumption values. Savings are an estimate only and your actual costs will vary according to your region and usage. All rates correct as of 05/08/2021.

The renewable electricity we sell is backed by renewable certificates (Renewable Energy Guarantee of Origin certificates (REGOs)). See here for details on Renewable Energy Guarantee of Origin certificates and how these work. The green gas we sell is backed via renewable certificates (Renewable Gas Guarantees of Origin (RGGOs)). See here for details on Renewable Gas Guarantees of Origin and how these work. We offset the remaining emissions by supporting UN REDD+ carbon reduction projects that are certified to the Verified Carbon Standard or the Gold Standard.
