What you can do once you’re logged in?

Getting past your Ovo Energy login page opens up options that will make managing your energy bills with Ovo easier.

1. Submit meter readings

If it’s your first time taking a meter reading, discover exactly how to read your meter. Once you know what you’re doing, follow the three steps below:

STEP 1: Log in to My OVO.

STEP 2: Click ‘My Meter Readings’ icon in the middle.

STEP 3: Enter your meter readings into the boxes. Click ‘Submit’.

You’ll now be able to see a list of all the readings you’ve submitted to Ovo Energy.

2. Claim your refund

Why would I claim a refund? There are three different situations when you’d want to claim a refund: switching from Ovo to another provider, staying with Ovo, or moving home.

Can I claim? You’re eligible to claim a refund if you have:

• at least one month’s direct debit in your account,
• provided a recent meter reading, and
• at least £25 to claim as a refund.

How do I claim? If you’re due a refund from Ovo Energy, follow these four simple steps:

STEP 1: Access the Ovo Energy login page.

STEP 2: Click on the ‘My Payments’ icon.

STEP 3: Hit ‘Apply for a refund’ under ‘My Balance’. You’ll be told the highest amount you’re allowed to receive as your refund.

STEP 4: Click the button ‘Get refund’.

3. View my bills and annual statements

Viewing your energy bills and statements is the best way to track your expenditure and budget for future payments. This, in conjunction with being energy efficient at home, is the best way to avoid fuel poverty.

To view all your monthly/quarterly statements, log in to My OVO and click the ‘My Last Statement’ icon in the middle of the page. You can then download all of your monthly/quarterly statements.

To get a copy of your annual statement, email [email protected] and ask for one.

4. Refer a friend or family to Ovo

If you’re impressed with the service from Ovo Energy and you’ve recommended a friend or family member to switch to them, before you do so, tell Ovo about it via the online portal. This way Ovo will treat you both to £50 vouchers when they join. This is how you refer friends or family in your online account:

STEP 1: Log in to My OVO (see link above).

STEP 2: Click ‘Refer a Friend and receive a gift’ (see image on the right).

STEP 3: Choose one or all four ways to tell your friends and start referring!

Frequently asked questions

You may have some burning questions related to the above or ones that haven’t been covered. Let’s take a look at the most frequently asked questions by customers about the Ovo Energy login page.

How do I find my 'My OVO' ID?

You can only progress past your Ovo Energy login page if you have either your email or your My OVO ID. The ID is a string of nine numbers starting with 1000.

You’ll find your My OVO ID at the top of any of your monthly/quarterly statements, letters or emails from Ovo Energy.

How do I find my account number?

You’ll need to quote your account number to access some of the features of your online account. It allows Ovo Energy to identify you and your home.

Your account number is a string of seven numbers that you can find on any of your statements, letters or emails from Ovo Energy. On your statement, for example, it’s found just above your My Ovo ID.

You can also find your account number in the online portal under the ‘My Profile’ option on the left tab. Your account number will be under ‘My Plan’.

How do I find my MPAN and MPRN?

An MPAN (Meter Point Administration Number) identifies your electricity supply. The MPRN (Meter Point Reference Number) identifies your gas supply. Discover where to find both your MPAN and MPRN by following our guides.

If you’re an Ovo customer, you can find these in your online portal. Here’s how to do it:

STEP 1: Log in to My OVO using your My OVO ID or account number and password.

STEP 2: There’s a box for your personal profile. Click it and you’ll see your MPAN and MPRN under your plan details.

Can I add someone to my account?

There are several reasons why you may want to change the account holder’s name on energy bills. Whether you want to add your partner, wife, husband or carer to your account, you should be aware of their level of permission to access the account holder’s online portal.

Before we get into that, let’s distinguish the two ways in which another person can be added to the account with Ovo Energy.

1. As a name: This is someone who can contact Ovo Energy and make decisions on behalf of the account holder. However, this person will have no financial liability for payments owed to Ovo. To add someone as just a name, simply call or email Ovo Energy to provide their details.
2. Equal responsibility: This is someone who can contact Ovo Energy, make decisions on behalf of the account holder and shares financial liability equally with the account holder for any debts owed to Ovo Energy.

To add another person with equal responsibility, you can’t do this by email. You’ll need to call Ovo and ensure that the third person is available to talk to them. An agent from Ovo will talk you both through the process and set this up. You can contact their Bristol-based customer contact centre on 0330 303 5063.

How does this affect login permissions? Take a look at the table below to see what permissions the third person has and doesn’t have based on the distinction made above:

To sum up, whenever the account holder adds someone to the account who holds equal responsibility, that other person will be able to do everything the account holder can.

Login problems

If you’ve followed all the steps above and you still have trouble logging in, contact Ovo Energy directly as there may be a specific issue blocking your access. At Selectra we looked at Ovo Energy’s Forum and found the contact details for the relevant department to resolve your login issue. Either call them on 0330 303 5063 or send them an email to [email protected]

Alternatively, you can get one of Ovo’s Social Team to look into this for you. Contact them by sending either a private or direct message via Ovo’s Twitter or Facebook page.
