They have put you on a deemed tariff rate and will now contact all ex-Green Network Energy customers to let them know personalised tariff information.   

You can shop around or ask them to put you on a different tariff. You won’t be charged any exit fees. 

For clear advice on how to shop, see our guide: How to switch and shop for a better deal. 

Our advice is not to switch immediately, but wait until EDF has been in touch with you. They will contact you with personalised information about your tariff. 

Your account will be fully set up with them in the coming weeks. EDF will contact you at this point to confirm once this has happened. 

If customers wish to change their tariff or switch supplier, they should ask to be switched to another EDF tariff, or shop around. You won’t be charged any exit fees. Waiting for them to contact you will be the smoothest way for any credit balances domestic customers had with Green Network Energy to be honoured by EDF.

Some customers with newer models of smart meter should see no loss in smart functionality. Unfortunately customers with older smart meter models will see a loss of smart functionality, but their supplies will continue uninterrupted. Once the transfer to EDF systems is complete, industry bodies will take steps to restore smart functionality to these meters, and you will receive a notification once this has been restored.

However, if you believe your complaint is still ongoing, once EDF contact you, please discuss with them how the issue can be resolved.
