Ofgem has appointed Total Gas and Power to take on supplying
Rutherford Energy Supply Limited’s (trading as Uttily Energy) 280
business customers. This follows an appointment process run by
Ofgem to get the best deal possible for customers.
For existing customers, energy supplies will continue as normal
as they switch over to Total Gas and Power on Saturday
19 October.
Customers of Rutherford Energy will be contacted over the coming
days about the changes. If customers wish to switch supplier they
should shop around. Customers will not be charged exit fees if
they decide to switch to another supplier.
Philippa Pickford, Ofgem’s director of future retail markets,
said:
“I am pleased to announce we have appointed Total Gas and
Power for the customers of Rutherford Energy and their
energy supply will continue as normal.
“Total Gas and Power will honour any money owed to customers with
open accounts with Rutherford, up to a total of £100,000.
“Total Gas and Power will be in contact with customers over
the coming days with further information. Once the transfer has
been completed, customers can shop around for a better deal if
they wish to.”
The parent company, Uttily Plc, will also cease to trade. Uttily
plc does not directly supply energy to customers, but it has
commercial arrangements in place with a number of partner
suppliers where around 360 customers are supplied under the
Uttily plc brand.
Most Uttily plc customers will continue to be supplied by the
relevant partner supplier, therefore, Ofgem will not appoint a
new supplier for these customers.
