US EditionEnergy customers secure compensation for overcharging error
- Ofgem reported that Good Energy’s billing error affected 2,284 prepayment customers between 2014 and October 2023 across the UK.
- The issue arose because prepayment customers who switched or ended contracts did not receive final bills within the six-week timeframe required by Ofgem.
- Following E.On Next's self-report of a similar error last year, Ofgem launched a detailed investigation and confirmed Good Energy updated its systems to fix the problem.
- Good Energy paid a total of £150,067, which includes £55,281 attributed to compensation and refunds, as well as £94,786 contributed to the industry’s voluntary fund dedicated to supporting vulnerable customers.
- Ofgem emphasized that improving billing accuracy remains a top priority, urging suppliers to maintain strong systems and proactively report problems to protect consumers.
