OVO Energy Refer a Friend is a unique reward scheme, where an OVO Energy customer can get a £25 gift card by referring a friend who then takes on OVO as their energy supplier. You can refer a friend at this page, and if your friend takes on OVO as their supplier, then you will be rewarded with your choice of a £25 M&S, Argos or Amazon.co.uk Gift Card (these are subject to change).

The Refer a Friend reward scheme from OVO is not dissimilar to those offered by Utilita and Ebico. However, few energy suppliers / utility companies offer such schemes on a permanent basis, with most suppliers choosing to offer the reward as a limited time offer.

If you choose to contact Ovo Energy and become a customer, you will be given the opportunity to refer a friend then. You can send the referral by email.

To refer a friend to OVO Energy, all you have to do is visit the OVO website ‘refer a friend’ page (linked, above) and follow the instructions. The best way to refer a friend is to send an email to your friend. You will get a confirmation or ‘thank you’ email from OVO afterwards. It takes around 30 days to receive your reward from referring a friend to OVO Energy. Please note that you will not get a reward if your friend does not take on OVO as their supplier. It is also important to note that the friend you refer will have 3 months to take on OVO. There’s no limit to the number of rewards you can earn though – so feel free to refer as many friends as you like to earn multiple gift cards.

Should I choose OVO Energy?

OVO Energy are one of the highest-rated energy suppliers in the United Kingdom as far as customer satisfaction rates are concerned. They also offer some of the best energy prices, and they generate 53.1 per cent of their electricity from renewable sources. So, if you like your energy cheap and sourced from environmentally-conscious sources, OVO Energy are a supplier you should check out.

If you have been referred to OVO Energy by somebody else, we recommend that you contact OVO Energy to discuss their energy rates. OVO have transparent pricing with no hidden charges, and some of their tariffs are considerably cheaper than those offered by the Big Six. OVO customers can save an average of £75 a year on OVO’s most flexible energy plan (£75 is based on the ‘Simpler Energy plan’, accurate as of December 2016), or up to £180 a year on the Better Energy Plan.

Overall, we recommend OVO as one of the best alternatives to the big six, and we also rate them highly among other independent energy suppliers. Be sure to take advantage of OVO’s Refer a Friend offer as an existing OVO customer, to get your hands on a £25 gift card.
