How the OVO Energy referral program works
OVO Energy's refer-a-friend scheme is over: as of 20 December 2025 customers can no longer generate or use referral links, a closure OVO staff confirmed on its own forum. Referrals made before the cut-off are still honoured, but only while both parties remain on supply, so the scheme's obligations outlive the scheme.
OVO Energy runs a program but does not publish the amount
That is a finding, not a gap. The mechanic below is published; the value is not, and any specific figure circulating for this brand comes from third-party sites rather than the company.
What makes this program different
A wind-down clause. The programme is gone but its liabilities are not: pre-cutoff referrals still pay, provided both parties remain on supply, which quietly converts an acquisition scheme into a retention condition. Anyone owed a referral credit now has a reason not to switch away, months after the scheme stopped recruiting.
Why it works
Honouring in-flight referrals at closure protects trust at the exact moment a programme is most visible.
Conditioning legacy payouts on both parties staying on supply keeps the original bargain intact through the wind-down.
Publishing the closure date and the honouring rule in one staff answer leaves no ambiguity for support to argue about.
What to copy
- Write your wind-down rules before you need them: what happens to referrals in flight when the scheme ends.
- Keep eligibility conditions attached to legacy payouts rather than paying out unconditionally at closure.
- Take the old terms pages down completely if the offer is dead; OVO's redirects prevent stale figures circulating as current.
- The reward amounts OVO once advertised are no longer published anywhere on its site, and the old terms URLs redirect to the homepage, so no historic figures are recorded here. OVO Energy Australia still runs a separate referral programme under a different corporate entity; it is not this scheme.

No. OVO confirmed on its forum that the scheme ended, and that as of 20 December 2025 customers can no longer generate or use referral links.

Yes, provided the eligibility criteria were met, specifically that both parties are on supply. OVO directs questions about outstanding credits to its support team.
