OVO Refer a Friend terms explained

The key conditions in OVO Energy Australia’s published referral terms, checked 22 August 2026.

This page is a practical summary, not a replacement for OVO’s contract. Read the official Refer a Friend terms before joining.

How much is the credit?

Who can be referred?

The person joining must use the referrer’s unique URL, enter their first OVO Energy market contract for that premises and be signing up a premises in NSW, SA, VIC or QLD.

Why is the full amount not immediate?

OVO applies the credit as an offset to each monthly bill over 12 months. It cannot be withdrawn, refunded or redeemed as cash.

What if someone leaves?

If the referred customer leaves before the 12 months end, both people lose their remaining unpaid instalments. If the referrer alone leaves, only the referrer loses their remaining instalments. OVO’s terms also explain how remaining credits can follow an eligible customer who moves premises and signs up with OVO at the new address.

Is there a referral limit?

The published terms do not restrict how many people an existing customer may refer. Each referred customer must independently satisfy the new-customer, premises and retention requirements.

Can it be combined with another offer?

No. The referral credit is not available together with another credit offer such as a Welcome Credit. Compare the full plan rates and benefits—not only the headline credit—before choosing.

Important: the offer can change or be withdrawn. The plan and referral message shown during OVO’s signup are the best last-mile confirmation.
