Bulb, which supplies about 1.7 million households, has collapsed into a so-called 'special administration', becoming the largest firm to fail during the current energy crisis. This process, which hasn't been used before in the energy market, means Bulb will continue to operate as usual for existing customers for now. But it will no longer take on new customers and its future as a company is uncertain.

  • I had a business account with Bulb. They have not assigned the account to another supplier but have sold the details to other providers. Consequently we get multiple phone calls from many different people who we have never heard of. Does anyone have recommendations on which suppliers to contact?
