Uswitch comment on Go Effortless Energy ceasing to trade

Will Owen, energy expert at Uswitch.com, said:

“Go Effortless Energy is the first supplier to go under since the Covid-19 lockdown came into effect, showing the difficulties faced by many small providers. 

“For households concerned about their energy supply, it’s worth noting that it will continue as normal and any credit balances will be protected.

“Customers now face potentially being moved from a small energy provider to a much larger one, and will want to be reassured that they are getting good value for money as well as excellent service from whoever the new supplier is.

“Once customers have been moved over, we recommend they do a quick comparison to see if switching to another supplier will offer better value for money. They will not be charged exit fees for moving to another provider and could end up with a lower bill as a result.

“We urge Go Effortless Energy’s customers to take a meter reading as soon as they are contacted by the new supplier so they can tie up loose ends and start afresh.”
