Licence Restiction

Updated 28/11/2023

We have applied to Ofgem to restrict our permissions to supply to domestic premises. This means that once the application is approved by Ofgem, we will no longer be permitted to supply to domestic premises.

You are only affected by this restriction if you are supplied on a domestic supply contract. Before the restriction is approved, you will need to move to a domestic supplier. You can take action and switch to a domestic supplier of your choice. If you don’t do this by the end of December, we will switch you to a domestic supplier of our choice. Your supply will continue.

Or you may contact a supplier of your choice directly.

We understand this news may be concerning. We will do our best to make this process is seamless for you.

FAQ

What does the licence restriction mean?

We currently have the necessary permissions to supply to all customers in Great Britain, including residential customers. Because we are a business supplier, we have asked Ofgem to remove our permission to supply to residential customers, so we can focus on serving our business customers.

How am I impacted by this?

You are only impacted if you are supplied under a domestic supply contract (i.e. have a domestic indicator set on our system). You will typically be on a domestic standard variable tariff that is capped as per the Ofgem price cap.

Because we will not be permitted to serve domestic customers after the restriction takes effect, you will need to move to a domestic supplier. You can take action by switching or we will arrange for you to be switched to a supplier of our choice.

You are not impacted by this at all if you are supplied under a commercial contract.

Will my supply be disconnected at any point?

No, your supply will continue. If you don’t switch, we will find a domestic supplier for you and arrange your switch. You will then be supplied by that supplier on the same terms as you have with us.

When will all of this happen?

We have asked Ofgem for the restriction to start from February, which means that if you don’t switch by the end of December, you will be switched to another supplier in January. However, depending on the progress of our application, this may be subject to a minor delay.

I am on a fixed term contract. Can I switch without any exit fees?

Yes, provided that there is no debt on the account.

I am on a fixed term contract. What rate will I be on with another supplier?

If you switch voluntarily, this will be the rate that you agree with your new supplier. If we arrange your switch, it will be the same rate and terms you have with us.

I am on the standard variable rate (OOC/deemed). What rate will I be on with another supplier?

If you switch voluntarily, this will be the rate that you agree with your new supplier. If we arrange your switch, it will be the same rate and terms you have with us.

Can you suggest who should I switch to?
