Think there will be some more smaller companies going under with the energy issue. The biggest problem is the government price cap, the smaller suppliers tend to buy their energy in smaller batches where as the bigger suppliers buy lots at a time. Due to the crazy hikes in prices the smaller companies cant cope, others will follow suit as the government have already said they won't be changing the price cap so suppliers won't be able to pass on the increase right now to customers

I was with Bulb for a few years then they got taken over by Peoples Energy and it is that company that has now ceased trading. I am now waiting to see who takes me on next, just when I had signed up for a fixed term tariff as well!

Back to the original post - I wonder if we are still due funds from the sponsorship . Unlikely to get it if they are in trouble …wonder if we are looking for a replacement ?

British Gas should be in touch with you in the next week or so to confirm that you're with them, tariff (it will be the price cap tariff), your account number etc. If you were in credit with People's Energy that will transfer over to British Gas. The best thing you can do just now is to take meter readings to make sure the old People's Energy account and the new British Gas account end and start of the right readings.

The last three energy companies I signed up with have all gone bust. Looks like I'm a jinx.
I'm going to test the theory by buying some shares in the The Rangers and Hearts.

I’ve always been someone who regularly switched. However, I always disregarded the smaller names, ones I’d never heard of. That was mainly because of being bullied by a letting agent into going with and staying with Spark Energy who were absolutely awful.
I’m glad I had that philosophy of avoiding smaller providers now.

The timing of all this is a nightmare for low income families, just before the onset of Winter. Not good at all.

I’ve renewed, about a month ago, with OVO Energy on a 2 year fix.
Hopefully they are big enough to survive !
Compared prices with Octupus but forgot about Bulb.

I'm with shell energy and locked in until 2022 currently £95 a month for both and in credit which is a bonus. Obviously that'll change over the winter and probably go up to about £120

I was with Utility Point who have just gone bust. EDF taking over. They were dreadful the last time I was with them and like a few suppliers got estimates and bills completely wrong. The whole energy sector is a mess imo. It should be so simple, a smart meter that works, simplified tariffs and strong regulation. They screw you when they speculate in their favour and bail out when they think they will lose their stake. It should be nationalised immediately and in Scotland we should move to being fully electric with the vast majority if not all created using renewable sources.
