Can I be added as a energy bill payer alongside my dad?

I bow to others’ superior knowledge here but by my reading, bullet points 3 weren’t met. 

Good luck OP

Do you mean bullet point 4?

Bullet point 3 means the electricity supplier participates in the scheme - Octopus certainly do.

Bullet point 4 is why they're asking about being named on the bill, but in practice others in similar situations have had the WHD applied because it seems essentially the electricity account is matched to an address where someone qualifies.  Or so it appears, anyway; I don't know if there's anything else to it like matching surnames.  Worth the OP chasing up, anyway.

Thanks. Now edited. I meant points 3 & 4. 

My interpretation of point 3 would be that OP isn’t currently a customer. Her dad is.

If being the named account holder was a requirement for point three... how could point 4 be interpreted? It's either a duplicated point or impossible. 

I agree with Spoonie that point 3 is saying the household has to be the customer of a supplier that's part of the scheme, not that the individual named in the letter has to be the named account holder - That's why the actual name on the account is covered by point 4.

Octopus got back to me and confirmed it's to the property. So we should be getting it 🙂

Thanks for the update & glad you got it sorted.
