Another U.K. Retail Supplier Fails, Ofgem To Select Supplier For Customers
March 11,2019
U.K.-based Brilliant Energy Supply Limited, an energy supplier with about 17,000 domestic customers in the U.K., has ceased to trade.
Under Ofgem’s safety net, the energy supply of Brilliant Energy Supply Limited's customers, including those supplied under a ‘white label’ arrangement with Northumbria Energy, will continue and the outstanding credit balances of domestic customers will be protected.
Ofgem will choose a new supplier to take on all of Brilliant Energy Supply Limited's customers as quickly as possible.
Some of Brilliant Energy Supply Limited's customers are supplied under a ‘white label’ arrangement with Northumbria Energy (a trading named for Euston Energy Limited). These customers are technically customers of Brilliant Energy Supply Limited and will also be supplied by the new supplier Ofgem will appoint. Euston Energy Limited (trading as Northumbria Energy) has not ceased trading.
