The Supplier of Last Resort (SoLR) process is Ofgem’s safety net if your energy supplier goes out of business.

It is there to ensure you’ll always have an energy supply and will feel as little change as possible.

As part of the SoLR process Ofgem has chosen your new supplier, following a competitive process designed to get the best deal for you.

To read more about the SoLR process see Ofgem safety net.

As part of this process and to get the best deal for Extra Energy customers we have appointed Scottish Power to take on Extra Energy’s customers after they ceased trading. This appointment is in effect from Sunday 25 November 2018. 

The final billing for the majority of Extra Energy customers is now expected to have been completed by the end of January 2020, as the administrators of Extra Energy work with their billing provider and Scottish Power to resolve outstanding issues. Where these are sent by email, they will come from an email address ending with @extra-energy.co.uk. This email will contain a link to view the final statement. To safeguard personal information, customers will be asked to enter their supply address postcode when accessing this link.

Scottish Power is also in the process of sending credit balance final statements on behalf of Extra Energy, these will be sent directly from Scottish Power and will come from donotreply@scottishpower.co.uk
