Company information
The Energy Ombudsman provides a free and easy to use dispute resolution service for consumers in the energy sector.
How we’re appointed
We’re approved by Ofgem (the UK energy regulator) to handle service disputes in the energy sector.
We’re also appointed by the Department for Business, Energy & Industrial Strategy (previously the Department of Energy & Climate Change) as the Green Deal Ombudsman.
How we’re funded
Our services are free to consumers as we're funded by suppliers who pay us a fee for each dispute we have to review, regardless of the resolution. This means the more disputes the supplier can resolve in-house, the less they have to pay us, which is an incentive to improve their service.
