Centrica PLC - Windsor, England-based energy & services company - Says that British Gas agrees to take on the customers of Neon Reef Ltd and Social Energy Supply Ltd and supply them with gas and electricity after the two energy firms ceased trading on Tuesday last week. Neon Reef previously supplied around 30,000 domestic customers while Bluegreen supplied around 5,500.
The switchover is part of Ofgem's Supplier of Last Resort process. Centrica stands to benefit from the collapse of smaller rivals, with British Gas taking on the customers of failed energy supplier People's Energy in September. Besides People's Energy, British Gas has taken on the customer base of Simplicity Energy, Zebra Power and Bluegreen Energy Services via Ofgem's Supplier of Last Resort process this year.
"We welcome customers of Neon Reef and Social Energy to British Gas, and we'll ensure the switchover is as smooth as possible. We're a brand trusted by millions and our new customers will benefit from the range of advantages that come with being a British Gas customer, including access to exclusive offers on services like boiler cover, Hive products and British Gas Rewards," says Chief Executive Chris O'Shea.
