2
Enter your address & pick a plan
Choose a standard or EV plan and sign up online. OVO arranges the switch from your current retailer — your power supply isn't interrupted. Same poles and wires; only who bills you changes.

Tip: complete sign-up in the same browser session you opened the link in, so the code stays attached.
Why use a code
What you actually get
$180 in bill credit
Paid as $15/month across your first 12 months — straight off each bill, GST inclusive.
Both sides win
You get $180 and the referrer gets the same $180. It's OVO's own program — no one's mooching.
Flat $180, every plan
The credit is the same whether you're on a standard plan or the EV Plan. No EV required.
Easy online switch
Sign up in minutes. OVO coordinates the changeover with your old retailer behind the scenes.
EV drivers
OVO EV Plan: the same $180 — no EV needed for the credit
The referral credit is the same flat $180 whether or not you drive an electric car — you do not need an EV to get the full amount.
Heads up: some older OVO referral pages still quote $120 for non-EV plans. That split ended on 20 April 2026 — OVO's current terms pay a flat $180 on every eligible plan, EV or not.
EV Plan rates and features below are subject to OVO's plan terms, vary by state, and may change — always confirm on OVO's site before relying on figures.
- $0.045/kWh EV charging, midnight–6am (controlled load excluded; supply charges still apply).
- Solar feed-in included, so you're credited for what you export.
- 3% OVO Interest Reward on in-credit balances for Direct Debit customers.
- Requires a smart meter + an EV. Smart charging via the evControl app (Tesla, Mini and BMW).
Note: OVO's separate Free 3 Plan offers $0.00/kWh power from 11am–2pm (supply charges still apply) — that's a different plan from the EV Plan, not part of it.
Setting the record straight
Is the OVO referral $120 or $180 in 2026?
It's a flat $180 (incl. GST) on every eligible plan since 20 April 2026, including the EV Plan — paid as $15 a month for 12 months. The old split, where non-EV plans got $120 and EV plans got $180, ended on that date. Any page still quoting $120 for standard plans is out of date.
Before 20 Apr 2026 — standard plans$120
Before 20 Apr 2026 — EV plans$180
From 20 Apr 2026 — every eligible plan$180
How much you save
$15/mo
for 12 months = $180, for both you and the referrer.
Real money off a power bill
$180 over a year is real money straight off your power bills — just for switching through a referral link instead of signing up cold. How far it goes depends on your usage, but the credit lands automatically and there's nothing extra to claim.
Referral vs Welcome Credit
OVO referral code vs the Welcome Credit — which should I pick?
OVO sometimes offers a Welcome Credit to new sign-ups, but you can't combine it with the referral credit — you choose one. The referral is generally the larger total at $180, though it's spread across 12 months, while a welcome credit is usually smaller but paid sooner. Both current offers change from time to time, so compare them on OVO's site before you decide — and remember the referral applies on every eligible plan, EV or not.
The fine print, simplified
Am I eligible? (NSW, VIC, QLD, SA)
- You live in NSW, Victoria, Queensland or South Australia.
- It's your first OVO Energy market contract at your address.
- You stay with OVO for 12 months so all the credits land.
- You're not stacking it with another credit (like a Welcome Credit).
- The full $180 is the same on any eligible plan — standard or EV.

Who's behind this page
G'day — I'm Daniel, an OVO customer sharing my code

I'm an OVO Energy customer here in Australia, and daniel16485 is my personal Refer a Friend code. When I switched, I found a lot of dodgy-looking referral pages quoting out-of-date numbers — so I built this one to be clean, honest and clear about exactly what you get.
Sign up through my link and OVO credits you $180 and credits me $180 — the same amount, both sides. I'm not OVO, I'm not a comparison site, and I'm not paid per click. I just get the same referral credit you do, and only if you actually join and stay.

Receipts
Proof it pays: the credits on my actual OVO bill
This is the credits section of my real OVO Energy statement (9 May – 8 June 2026), cropped so no account details are shown. Four Refer a Friend credits — three at $15 and one part-month credit of $10.01 — plus solar exports brought the month's new charges down to $113.03, and with my account already in credit, the amount due was $17.53.
No catch
Is this legit? Short answer: yes
This is OVO Energy Australia's own Refer a Friend program — not a coupon site, not a third-party scheme. You sign up on OVO's official website (ovoenergy.com.au), not here. This page never asks for your details, your payment info or an account — it just shares a code. You can read OVO's full Refer a Friend terms yourself. I'm independent and not affiliated with OVO.

Questions
OVO Energy referral code FAQ
What is the OVO Energy referral code in Australia? +
The OVO Energy referral code for Australia is daniel16485. New customers who sign up to OVO using it get $180 in bill credit, and the referrer gets the same $180.
How much is the credit and how is it paid? +
It's $180 including GST for both the new customer and the referrer, paid as a $15 credit on each monthly bill for 12 months once your supply starts. It offsets your bill rather than being paid as cash.
Is the $180 different for EV vs non-EV plans? +
No — it's a flat $180 on every eligible plan, including the EV Plan, and you don't need an electric vehicle to get the full amount. Until 20 April 2026, non-EV plans got $120 and EV plans got $180; OVO has since simplified it to a flat $180 for everyone. Some older referral pages still show the old $120 figure.
Is the OVO referral $180 or $120 in 2026? +
It's a flat $180 (incl. GST). Since 20 April 2026 OVO pays $180 on every eligible plan, including the EV Plan, as $15 a month for 12 months. The earlier split — $120 for non-EV plans and $180 for EV plans — ended on that date, so any page still quoting $120 for standard plans is out of date.
Which states is it available in? +
The offer is available to customers in New South Wales, Victoria, Queensland and South Australia.
Is this legit / safe / not a scam? +
Yes — Refer a Friend is OVO's own program. You sign up on OVO's official website, not on this page, and this site collects none of your details. Read the official terms any time.
How do I use the code daniel16485? +
Just use the referral link — the code attaches automatically at OVO's sign-up page. Complete it in the same browser session so the code stays attached; there's usually nothing to type.
How long until the first $15 credit appears? +
The $15 monthly credits begin once your OVO supply starts and your account is active, then continue on each monthly bill for 12 months. Exact timing depends on how quickly your switch completes; if you're unsure, OVO can confirm when your first credit is due.
What happens if I leave OVO before 12 months? +
The credit is paid in $15 monthly instalments while you're a customer, so leaving early stops the remaining instalments. Stay the full 12 months to collect the entire $180.
Can I refer more than one person? +
Yes — as the referrer there's generally no cap on how many people you can refer, and each successful referral earns a separate $180 credit. As the person being referred, the $180 applies to your first OVO market contract at your address.
I'm already an OVO customer — can I use this? +
The offer is for a customer's first OVO Energy market contract at their premises, so existing customers at the same address aren't eligible. Moving to a new address may qualify — check OVO's terms.
Can I use the referral code and a Welcome Credit together? +
No — OVO's terms say the referral credit can't be combined with another credit offer such as a Welcome Credit, so you'd choose one or the other. The referral is usually the larger total at $180, but compare both on OVO's site before you sign up.
What if I'm on the Free 3 Plan — do I still get $180? +
Yes — the $180 referral credit is the same flat amount on every eligible OVO market plan, so it applies whether you choose a standard plan, the EV Plan or the Free 3 Plan. The plan you pick changes your rates, not the referral credit.
How do I confirm the code was applied? +
Open the link, complete OVO's sign-up in the same session, and check the code shows as applied near the address or plan summary before finishing. If unsure, contact OVO to confirm before your first bill.
