OVO Interest Rewards
This is just OVO Energy’s way of thanking customers for keeping their account in credit.
Since their tariff is bill smoothed at certain points of the year, customers are likely to build up credit – Ovo Energy believe that if they’ve got your money, it’s only right to pay you interest on it.
As an example, if a customer is in credit when they generate their statement, OVO Energy work out their Interest Reward based on the credit balance in that statement. The customer won’t actually see the payment as a line item on their bill until their next statement.
The amount of interest paid is based on the amount of days between the two statements – OVO Energy automatically calculate the Interest Reward that is due to the customer and credit this to their account.
Customers start with a 3% interest reward in their first year. In year 2, OVO Energy increase this to 4% and then it’s 5% for year 3 and beyond. Essentially, the longer a customer stays with OVO Energy, the more they say thank you.
Note: OVO Energy only ever pay interest if the account is in credit and will never apply interest to debit balances. The maximum credit balance OVO Energy will pay Interest Reward on is $1,500 and customers must not make payments into their account just to receive the OVO Interest Reward.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does using Compare Your Bills to compare plans benefit me?
Why have electricity prices gone up?
There are a multitude of reasons for rising electricity prices in Australia. One of the main ones has been the need to invest in maintaining and improving the network infrastructure in order to increase capacity in a growing population. Another factor has been the need to address environmental issues, which means minimising the use of coal plants and creating more renewable energy sources.
Proposals to keep price increases in check have included:
- Further privatisation of state government-owned electricity networks
- Adjustments to environmental policies that impact wholesale energy costs
- Further retail price deregulation
- Setting standards based on the value that customers place on network reliability
Is there a best energy plan?
Unfortunately, there’s no “best” or “one-size-fits-all” energy plan or provider, as finding a plan that suits you will ultimately depend on your individual needs and circumstances. When comparing plans, it may be beneficial to consider the following questions:
- How many people are living or working in the premises?
- What is the property made of? Does it maintain temperature well?
- What type of connections are available at the address? Just electricity, or is gas available as well?
- Does the property have solar panels, or would you be able to install them?
How do I switch energy providers?
Before you switch energy providers, it’s important that you review the full details of your existing plan and the one you’re intending to switch to. This will ensure you’re switching to something that is actually going to be more beneficial for you.
You should also ask yourself the following questions:
- For electricity, what is the cost per kilowatt per hour?
- For gas, what is the cost per megajoule?
- Are there any fixed costs or service fees?
- What is the length of your contract and are there any exit fees?
- Can prices change during the contract?
- Do I get a discount for paying on time?

How does solar energy work?
Solar power is a common form of renewable energy, generated from the sun’s heat or from sunlight. Captured through the use of solar panels, often on the roofs of residential and commercial properties, the energy produced is converted into electricity or used to heat air, water, and to power homes, businesses, and batteries.
More than two million Australian households have a solar system on their rooftop for electricity generation, although there are a variety of other ways that solar energy can be harnessed. These include:
- Hot water systems
- Cars and school buses
- Phone chargers
- Wearables
- Air conditioners
- Security cameras
- Advertising displays
- And more
