We prove that if a simply connected non-conformally flat conformal Lorentzian manifold $(M,c)$ admits an essential transitive group of conformal transformations, then there exists a metric g∈ c such that $(M,g)$ is a complete homogeneous plane wave. We also prove that the group of conformal transformations of a non-conformally flat simply connected homogeneous plane wave $(M,g)$ consists of homotheties, hence it is a 1-dimensional extension of the group of isometries.
