OVO Energy (Econnex)

Apply the best OVO Energy promo code or card offer you qualify for, then go through ShopBack before you pay, where ShopBack Cashback works like a discount on the same order, only easier than a promo code. There is nothing to find or type, it does not use up your one OVO Energy promo code, and it still lowers the price when no code is running. Part of what you pay comes back as Cashback: check the rate shown on ShopBack's OVO Energy page before you buy.

OVO Energy Pty Ltd (ABN 99 623 475 089) is an electricity retailer based in Melbourne that sells residential plans in Victoria, New South Wales, Queensland and South Australia, so pick your plan, then sign up through ShopBack before you pay, where ShopBack Cashback works like a discount, only easier than a promo code. It also sells solar panels, home batteries and a GreenPower add-on. Its plan line-up is The One Plan, The Free 4 Plan and The EV Plan, all without transaction or exit fees, managed through the OVO app and MyOVO. A new OVO plan started from the ShopBack OVO Energy (Compare) page earns Cashback at the current published rate.

The Free 4 Plan charges $0.00 per kWh for eligible electricity usage between 11am and 3pm every day. Supply charges still apply, controlled load usage is not included, and a Fair Use Policy governs the free window. You need a smart meter, and OVO pitches it at people who work from home or can charge an EV or battery during the day. OVO's Victorian example prices it 29 per cent below the Victorian Default Offer for a 4,000 kWh household. A new Free 4 sign-up through ShopBack earns Cashback.

The EV Plan is a home electricity tariff for electric vehicle owners with a rate of $0.045 per kWh between midnight and 6am, excluding controlled load, with supply charges still applying. It includes a solar feed-in tariff for exported electricity, and the OVO app's evControl feature can schedule and track charging, currently for Tesla vehicles only. You need a smart meter and an EV. OVO also runs a refer-a-friend offer on this plan worth $180 credit to each party, paid over 12 months. Started from the ShopBack OVO page, the sign-up earns Cashback.

OVO's GreenPower add-on is added to any plan and matches every kilowatt hour you use with certified renewable electricity from GreenPower-accredited generators, audited annually under the government GreenPower programme. Add it at sign-up or later and cancel whenever. Because it is an add-on rather than a separate plan, Cashback follows the new OVO sign-up itself rather than the GreenPower choice.

OVO's published plans are electricity plans built around time of use (free 11am to 3pm usage, or a cheap overnight EV rate) in Victoria, New South Wales, Queensland and South Australia. ENGIE sells electricity and gas across Victoria, South Australia, New South Wales, Western Australia and Queensland, with flat market plans, NRMA perks and a GreenPower option. If you need gas or live in WA, ENGIE covers you; if you can shift load into the day, OVO's structure is designed for it. Both earn ShopBack Cashback on eligible new sign-ups.

Red Energy is owned by Snowy Hydro, supplies electricity and gas in Victoria, New South Wales, the ACT, south-east Queensland and South Australia, and is Australian Made certified. OVO is electricity-focused with time-of-use plans and no exit fees. A household wanting one retailer for gas and power leans Red; a smart-meter household with daytime flexibility or an EV leans OVO. Compare actual rates for your address, then start the chosen sign-up from its ShopBack page so it earns Cashback.

OVO states that its plans have no transaction or exit fees. You can pay each bill by the due date or set up Direct Debit, and Bill Smoothing spreads your estimated annual cost into equal monthly Direct Debit payments. Leaving OVO costs nothing.

The Free 4 Plan and The EV Plan both require a smart meter, while The One Plan does not list that requirement. OVO's quote tool covers Victoria, New South Wales, Queensland and South Australia. The ShopBack page lists separate Cashback tiers for electricity, gas and combined sign-ups, so check which products OVO actually offers at your address during the quote before assuming a gas tier applies.

Go through ShopBack before you sign up and the Cashback tracks to your ShopBack account. Open OVO's quote flow from the ShopBack OVO Energy (Compare) page and complete the new sign-up in your own name. The OVO page on ShopBack shows the fixed Cashback amount for each sign-up type.

OVO charges no exit fee.
