Ofgem news - Shell Energy Supply UK Limited (Edit: Sorry Non-Domestic it seems)

Shedman

Anyone know what this is about.  I thought Shell was one of the strong ones remaining or did I miss something?

I saw that. What does it mean? Just admin housekeeping by Ofgem, or is Shell jacking electricity supply in?

Looking at it further and digging a bit I think it may relate to some of its non-domestic supply rather than domestic retail as I think the domestic side is Shell Energy Retail Limited.   

If so apologies if this panicked anyone.

Perhaps Ofgem should have made that a lot clearer.

Yes, I think you're right. All the recent Shell announcements (until this one) have related to the Shell energy Retail Limited, while Shell energy Supply UK Limited only held a non-domestic supply licence.

@Shedman Having said that, it could have been the retail side. I thought it might have explained it taking so long to sort out ex Green Supplier customers...

I’m not concerned about this. The revocation of the supply licence was requested by shell energy supply Ltd some time ago. This is a formality. It’s almost certainly not linked to shell energy retail. Different company numbers.

no way Ofgem would have transferred via SOLR if they knew that shell energy retail were exiting the industry.
