Ofgem appoints E.ON Next to take on customers of insolvent energy suppliers

5th October 2021

Ofgem has appointed E.ON Next to take on supplying Enstroga, Igloo Energy and Symbio Energy’s combined total of approximately 233,000 domestic customers. This follows a competitive process run by Ofgem to get the best deal possible for customers.

Funds that current and former domestic customers of Enstroga, Igloo Energy and Symbio Energy have paid into their accounts will be protected, where they are in credit. Domestic customers will also be protected by the energy price cap with their new supplier.

Customers of all three suppliers will be contacted over the coming days about the changes. If customers wish to switch supplier, they can shop around but are advised to wait until the transfer has been completed. Customers will not be charged exit fees if they decide to switch to another supplier.

Neil Lawrence, Ofgem’s Director of Retail, said “I am pleased to announce we have appointed E.ON Next for the customers of  ENSTROGA, Igloo Energy and Symbio Energy. We understand that this news may be unsettling for customers, however they do not need to worry. Their energy supply will continue as normal, and customer credit balances will be honoured.”

“Your energy supply will not be interrupted. E.ON Next will be in contact with customers over the coming days with further information. Once the transfer has been completed, customers can shop around for a better deal if they wish to.”
