In a move that gives Utilita’s 800,000+ customers access to EDF’s range of low-carbon products, the utility has entered into an exclusive structured trading agreement with the UK energy giant.
At the start of the week, the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy (BEIS) “named and shamed” a number of energy companies that had the lowest voucher redemption rates for the Energy Bills Support Scheme (EBSS).
The UK Government has called on Good Energy, Utilita and Scottish Power to increase Energy Bills Support Scheme (EBSS) voucher redemptions to ensure customers with prepayment meters are able to redeem £400 in support on energy bills.
Energy supplier Utilita Energy has launched a new month-long trial this winter offering energy credits to households that reduce or avoid energy consumption during peak times.
Utilita Energy has criticised Ofgem’s suggestion that it would take emergency measures if it fails to meet second generation smart meter targets, claiming it is ‘grossly unfair’.
Ofgem has warned that it could stop utility Utilita Energy from taking on new customers unless it installs 15,000 second generation smart meters by 31 July 2021.
