UK energy supplier complaints, 2025 Q3

Energy bills are the easiest place for a supplier to mess things up — wrong meter readings, surprise back-bills, frozen direct-debits, you’ve heard the stories. Ofgem and Citizens Advice publish a quarterly league table of which suppliers customers complain about most, and which resolve issues fastest. Here’s the data.

How we score

Composite ratings combine the complaints rate (weight 0.5) and next-day resolution rate (weight 0.2), renormalised because Ofgem doesn’t publish a separate uphold rate for energy retailers. The full formula lives at /data/methodology.
