Citizens Advice responds to Extra Energy investigation

4 Gorffennaf 2016

Today Ofgem, the energy industry regulator, has opened an investigation into whether supplier Extra Energy broke rules relating to billing, customer service and complaints handling.

Citizens Advice worked together with Ofgem and the Ombudsman Services to bring about the investigation, with the consumer champion providing evidence directly from consumers about Extra Energy’s customer service failures.

Gillian Guy, Chief Executive of Citizens Advice, said:

“Customers have been paying the price for Extra Energy’s poor performance.

“The firm delivered a record low performance for its complaints handling in our latest supplier league table.

“We welcome this formal investigation into Extra Energy’s practices, which has come about thanks to a coordinated effort between Citizens Advice, Ofgem and the Ombudsman Services.

“It’s vital energy suppliers get customer service right to build consumer trust and confidence in the industry.”

Extra Energy came bottom of Citizens Advice’s latest energy supplier league table which measures how effectively customer complaints are dealt with by energy companies. 

Citizens Advice provided evidence from the Consumer Service and Extra Help Unit.
