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
This guide will answer some of your questions on what happens now.
Your supply
Your contract
Initially they will have put you on a deemed tariff rate and will have contacted all ex Extra Energy customers to let them know personalised tariff information and provide information about alternative tariff options.
You can shop around or ask them to put you on a different tariff. You won’t be charged any exit fees.
Scottish Power will have contacted you to confirm when your switch has happened, and from then on you'll have full access to your Scottish Power account.
Once you have been contacted by Scottish Power, you can then shop around or ask them to put you on a different tariff. You won’t be charged any exit fees.
If you have already switched away from Scottish Power then you will receive your final bill for any energy consumed from 25 November until the point you left in the usual manner directly from Scottish Power. This is separate from any communication you may have in relation to your final bill from Extra Energy for energy consumed before 25 November.

Scottish Power will honour credit balances for both current and past customers of Extra Energy who are owed money.
Scottish Power will receive details of any credit on your Extra Energy account from the administrators. Wait for Scottish Power to contact you about any credit due and when it will be applied to your Scottish Power account, or a cheque issued if you are not currently supplied by them. They will also tell you how to raise a query regarding any credit on your Extra Energy account. You will see details of any credit balance owed on your final bill from Extra Energy, as well as on your first bill after the credit is applied, if you are still with Scottish Power.
When assessing your credit balance, Extra Energy’s administrators will calculate and deduct any unbilled charges for your supply with Extra Energy from payments you made to them.
We are aware that the process for getting owed credit back is taking longer than expected, as Extra Energy’s administrators are still working to create final bills for all customers. This is due to the quality of the data of the failed supplier. Don’t worry. We are engaging regularly with Scottish Power and they have now informed us that they aim to have this completed for all customers by the end of January 2020. We appreciate this process has taken longer than anticipated but progress is now being made.
The final billing for the majority of Extra Energy customers was expected to have been completed by the end of August, however the small remainder of customers who have not received a final bill yet are expected to receive them 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.
No but you will need to pay any outstanding debt to Extra Energy’s administrators.
