Energy supplier gone out of business?

Over the past few months we have seen a number of energy suppliers going out of business.

It can be a worrying time for customers. If your supplier goes bust, you will not be left without gas or electricity. The industry regulator, Ofgem, will step in and find a new supplier for you.

The Citizens Advice Bureau has lots of useful information about this issue and can help with a wide range of concerns around energy debt, suppliers and emergency help.

The West Sussex Citizens Advice Bureau have set up a special telephone numbers to help the District’s residents. They can be contacted Monday to Friday 9am to 5pm on 01243 974063
