OVO (S) Electricity Ltd. / OVO Energy out-of-contract and deemed rates

Not publicly published / quote required for non-domestic business supply. OVO’s public tariff pages are for domestic/home energy only, and I did not find a public business deemed/out-of-contract/default business rate schedule on the official site.

If you are on deemed, default, rollover, variable, or Out-of-contract rates, ask for a written renewal quote and compare it against live market prices before agreeing a new contract.

Where your p/kWh actually goes

Indicative split for a UK I&C electricity bill in 2026, sourced from Cornwall Insight's non-commodity cost research. Your meter, region and contract type shift the exact mix, but the four components are always present.

  • Wholesale energy, 38%Gas or power bought on the wholesale market. The figure most coverage focuses on.
  • Non-commodity costs, 53%Network charges (DUoS, TNUoS), policy levies (RO, FiT, CfD, Capacity Market), CCL and balancing costs.
  • Supplier margin, 6%What the supplier earns. Always priced into the unit rate.
  • Broker margin, 3%What we earn for tendering and managing the contract. Shown separately on every Purely Energy quote.

Who OVO (S) Electricity Ltd. / OVO Energy may suit

Low public fit for non-domestic customers. The official website and tariff pages are oriented to domestic/home supply, and I found no clearly published business electricity tariff, deemed rate table, or business onboarding page on OVO’s public site.

Trading name and licence-holder notes

The licence holder appears to operate under the OVO Energy brand rather than a distinct customer-facing trading name. Ofgem records list OVO (S) Electricity Limited (company no. 04094263) as an electricity supply licensee, while OVO’s terms say electricity is supplied by OVO Electricity Limited when selling electricity. This suggests group/brand complexity, but I did not find a public business-facing page confirming a separate non-domestic trading brand for this entity.

Switching from OVO (S) Electricity Ltd. / OVO Energy to a fixed business contract

UK businesses can switch electricity supply away from OVO (S) Electricity Ltd. / OVO Energy once their fixed contract ends, or after resolving any open objection or termination-window issue. The process is the same for every supplier on the non-domestic market, but a few checks done in the right order make the transfer materially faster.

  1. 1. Find your contract end date. It's on your last renewal letter or the most recent bill from OVO (S) Electricity Ltd. / OVO Energy. Most non-domestic contracts have a 1 to 6 month termination window before that date, outside of which you may auto-roll onto a new fixed term.
  2. 2. Get your MPAN ready. The 21-digit MPAN (electricity) and 6 to 10-digit MPRN (gas) uniquely identify each meter and are needed for any competing quote. Both appear on your bill.
  3. 3. Compare against the live market. OVO (S) Electricity Ltd. / OVO Energy doesn't publish standard out-of-contract rates, so request a written renewal quote first and benchmark it against live market prices before agreeing anything. Purely Energy can run your meters against the wider UK panel and come back with the cheapest fixed offers.
  4. 4. Settle the final bill and clear any objections. OVO (S) Electricity Ltd. / OVO Energy will issue a final bill within 6 weeks of supply transferring. If a balance is outstanding, they can object to the switch under industry rules, so clear it before the transfer date to avoid a hold.
  5. 5. Sign the new contract. Once the new supplier has your MPAN/MPRN and signed contract, the transfer typically completes within 4 to 8 weeks. There is no break in supply, you simply receive your first bill from the new supplier.
