THREE more energy firms have collapsed, leaving thousands of customers in the lurch.
Igloo, Symbio Energy and Enstroga have announced today that they have stopped trading.
Enstroga has 6,000 customers, Igloo Energy has 179,000 and Symbio Energy has around 48,000 – leaving roughly 233,000 customers without a supplier.
However, Ofgem has announced that customers will still continue to receive gas and electricity as normal.
Ofgem will also choose who the new supplier will be to these customers.
Ofgem retail director Neil Lawrence said: “Ofgem’s number one priority is to protect customers.
“We know this is a worrying time for many people and news of a supplier going out of business can be unsettling.
“ our safety net we’ll make sure your energy supplies continue. If you have credit on your Enstroga, Igloo Energy or Symbio Energy account the funds you have paid in are protected and you will not lose the money that is owed to you.”
