OVO

The Iberian power outage is a stark reminder of just how critical grid resilience is. Yesterday’s events in Spain and Portugal show how vulnerable modern life can be when electricity supply is disrupted - and how much we all rely on a stable grid. Our VP for Policy, Regulation and Risk, Mary Starks, joined Times Radio to talk about what the UK can learn from this moment 🎧

While the US moves to revive coal, the UK has nearly eliminated it from our energy mix - these days, it generates less than 1% of our electricity. Why? Because it’s expensive, harmful to our health and harmful to the planet. At OVO, we will always bang the drum for a cleaner future - championing renewable, locally generated energy that’s better for your wallet and better for the planet. Because the future of energy isn’t coal. It’s green 💚

Having a valid EPC can be a crucial part of applying for grants, selling your home, or getting things like solar panels installed 🔋 Our qualified assessors carry out a full, room-by-room review of your home’s energy efficiency - like a health check for your property - to give you the knowledge you need to help manage your home’s cost and carbon savings.  Because we believe energy-efficient homes aren’t just better for the planet - they’re better for people, too. https://lnkd.in/eukXdjpX

Last year, heat pump installations in the UK surged by 52% 🔥 Experts have said part of the rise was due to an increase in the grant offered by the government’s Boiler Upgrade Scheme, encouraging households to switch to electric heating. At OVO, we’re also playing our part by offering Heat Pump Plus; our heat pump tariff add-on allowing users to easily power their heat pump through their OVO tariff. We’re proud to support households on the journey to net zero. Because more funding, more awareness, more progress toward net zero is only a good thing.

For the past decade, we've proudly partnered with The Conservation Volunteers and The Woodland Trust to plant native trees across the UK. 🌳 Since 2015, we've planted over 5,000,000 trees on behalf of our customers. Ella Thomson shares why our nature work matters, where we're making a difference, and how you can get involved.

Powerful women, powering progress. We're working hard to build the best place to work where everyone belongs, and we want our gender balance to reflect the customers we serve and the communities we support. To mark International Women’s Day, we invited some of our female leaders to share their career advice for helping to close gender gaps and inspire belonging 💚 Lauren Lewis Jenny Wong Mary Starks
