MyOVO login & the OVO app

A MyOVO account lets you manage most account activities online 24/7 using your OVO login details. The OVO app, available on Google Play and the Apple Store, does the same on the go and is the easiest way to submit a self-read of your meter. Here is some of what you can do.

  • See how your switch from your old provider is progressing
  • Submit meter readings, or sign up for a free smart meter
  • View past statements and track your energy usage
  • Manage your direct debit and update your details
  • Organise a service relocation if you are moving house
