This morning my bank Santander online was down, and on news my energy supplier Bulb is going into admin. .
Same here with bulb as well. Just had email off them..... Dear ***** We've made the difficult decision to support Bulb being placed into special administration. This process is designed to protect Bulb members, ensuring there's no change to your supply and your credit balance is protected. We'll update you once we know more. We continue to operate as usual so you don't need to take any action. Your tariffs are not changing, and the price cap applies to all consumer energy tariffs. If you pay for your energy by top up, your top ups will continue to work as normal. If you're in the process of switching to or from Bulb, your switch will continue. We're expecting a high volume of calls today, so please only call if you have an emergency, you're in a vulnerable situation or you are struggling to pay your bills. That way, we can help those who need it most at this time. And please bear in mind that response times will be longer than normal. Smart meter installations and other metering work will continue. In the event of a metering emergency, where energy supply has been lost, please call us, or take a look at the support and information on the Ofgem website. If you need additional support, you can also contact Citizens Advice on 0808 223 1133 or email them via their website. Find out how to contact us if you need to. Or you can use the Bulb app. A note from our team When we founded Bulb in 2015 it was because we thought energy customers deserved a better deal. We believed strongly that we should do things differently, and that by building a talented team and creating our own technology we could make energy simpler, cheaper and greener. We've been so proud to grow Bulb to 6% of the UK market. When we started Bulb just 1% of households were with renewable energy suppliers. Now that figure is over 30%. Green is going mainstream, and Bulb and our members have played a part in making that happen. We expanded to France, Spain and Texas, taking our technology, our best in class customer service, and everything we learned in the UK to new countries. And we launched new products, like energy management options for EV drivers to help continue to cut carbon emissions and meet net zero targets by 2050. We were one of the only energy companies to be a B Corp, which is assessed against rigorous standards around sustainability; showing how business can be a force for good. And for each new member to join Bulb, we donated £2 to the Bulb Foundation, fighting to address the climate crisis. As important for us was looking after our members, especially the most vulnerable. We're proud to have launched a best in class Smart Pay as You Go product to make it much easier for our members to top up their prepay energy; Ofgem rated our Warm Home Discount product #1 in the energy industry; and we doubled the proportion of Bulb members getting access to our priority services by making them easier and simpler to access. Special administration Special administration is designed to protect the customers of a large energy supplier that's become insolvent. The special administrator is required by the government under the 2011 Energy Act to continue to supply energy to customers, and will protect customer credit balances. The process to appoint special administrators is not yet complete but we expect them to be appointed shortly. Our International businesses in France, Spain and Texas are separate businesses from Bulb UK and are not immediately affected by us entering special administration. Thank you to our members and to our team who continue to work so hard to build amazing products, provide brilliant customer service, and bring renewable energy to our members around the world. If you'd like to read more, please take a look at our blog. Thank you again for being part of Bulb, and FTM.
I'm with zog energy for gas and E electric. Fook nars if they will survive. Since me dad passed away am still paying SSE gas and electric. I was going to move it since they are expensive, especially the phone he didn't use ffs (switched off now) but it's mostly standing charge atm and letting the daughter/grandson move in. I'll have to wait to see what transpires.
