Boost Energy reviews, tariffs and information

About Boost

Boost began life as part of OVO dealing specifically with prepayment customers and tariffs before becoming its own brand (though still part of OVO). Its aim is to ensure that prepayment energy customers are just as in control of their usage and spending as credit customers are.

Boost customers can use the free Boost app to top up from anywhere, check their credit on the go, set up auto top-ups and get alerts to avoid unexpected blackouts.

Additionally, Boost will install a smart meter at no cost.
