UK Households Urged Reclaim Energy Credit

United Kingdom — Ofgem, the UK's energy watchdog, and trade association Association of Electricity Producers are urging nearly two million households in the United Kingdom to reclaim approximately £240 million in forgotten energy credit. These funds are currently held in closed accounts, primarily for consumers who have moved homes in the last five years and whose contact details are outdated. While over 90% of closed account balances are automatically refunded, delays occur when suppliers cannot reach former customers. United Kingdom — Ofgem rules mandate that suppliers issue a final bill within six weeks of account closure and process refunds within 10 working days. Tim Jarvis of United Kingdom — Ofgem and Ed Rees of Association of Electricity Producers are actively encouraging people to check old bills and contact their previous energy suppliers to claim their due refunds.
