You can bet your bottom dollar Shell Energy is well protected and seperated from Shell UK.  Also isn't it just a rebrand on an existing even-smaller supplier?

Ofgem’s credibility as a Regulator would be totally trashed if it appointed a SoLR that was likely to go bust in the near term.

It was formerly First Utility. On the Shell Energy website ,they use the Shell logo plus customers get discounts at Shell forecourts (when they have petrol!!) and there are links for Shell Energy from the main RDS UK website !!

They seem to expect to be here for the long-term:

What is the procedure for the changeover from Green Energy to Shell Energy? Is there a need to contact Shell Energy to set this up? and at what stage does Shell take over? and when do I take a final meter reading for the Green Energy account?

There's information for Green customers on Shell's website.

It would be nice to know what their tariffs currently are though. I can't find that.
