So I'm with Green Energy who went bust in late September.  I have had no communications from them at all. Their app no longer works and accounts have been removed from their website.

What do I do now, can I just switch to a new supplier? Don't I need information about my Green Energy account, I've found one bill dates August 2020.

EDIT: Just seen on the switch site that we will be moved to Shell. Should we be hearing from them soon?

  • You are now a customer of Shell Energy as it has been appointed by Ofgem as the Supplier of Last Resort for Green Energy's customers.

    If you go to the Shell Energy website you will see that there is an information page for ex Green Energy customers. You may need to email Shell if it hasn't made contact with you.

    Once your account with Shell is set up you have three options; one, remain with them on their SoLR tariff; two, switch to one of Shell's other tariffs, or, three switch away to another supplier.

    I received an email from Shell on Monday 27th September informing me they where taking over the supply - contents below

    Following the closure of Green (Green Supplier Limited), Ofgem, the industry regulator, has appointed us to manage your energy supply from Monday 27 September.
    We look forward to welcoming you on board, and are working closely with Ofgem to make the switch as smooth as possible for you.
    There won’t be any break in your energy supply and any credit balance you have will be safe and protected. It may take a while to move over, but we’ll keep you posted.
    We’re currently setting up your account, so there’s no need to call or email us.

    Visit our blog, where we’ll be posting regular updates. You’ll find answers to frequently asked questions in the Help section of our website.

    Switching supplier
    Once you’ve switched to Shell Energy, you can either stay with us or switch to another supplier. You won’t be able to leave before the switch is complete though. If you choose to leave, we won’t charge you any exit fees. But we think you’ll like it here at Shell Energy, so we hope you’ll stay.

    You could contact Shell with your details (name/address/etc) and get that account set up to use a current email address?
