The October energy contract renewal period is fast approaching and it is vital that members ensure that they give sufficient notice to their incumbent provider of their intent to terminate their energy supply contract. We advise submitting your termination notice to your current supplier in good time as standard practice to protect your interests. This will ensure that you have the freedom to pick a supplier of your choice at your renewal date and it protects you against the possibility of signing a contract with a new supplier, only for the old supplier to raise transfer objections and potentially apply higher out of contract rates.
The amount required by different energy suppliers varies significantly from no minimum notice period up to 120 days in extreme cases, so we’ve created this handy list of termination notice periods and included the email address you need to use to communicate your intent to terminate:
| Supplier | Termination Email | Termination Notice Period |
|---|---|---|
| SSE | [email protected] | One month before end date |
| Haven Power | [email protected] | 30 Days from End Date |
| British Gas | [email protected] | 90-120 Days from End Date |
| Orsted (DONG) | [email protected] | 30 Days from End Date |
| Crown Gas & Power | [email protected] | 90 Days from End Date |
| Eon | [email protected] | Minimum 30 Days |
| Npower | [email protected] | Minimum 30 Days |
| Gazprom | [email protected] | 3 months notice required |
| Smartest Energy | [email protected] | Minimum 90 Days |
| Opus Energy | [email protected] | One month before end date |
| CNG | [email protected] | Minimum 30 Days |
| Corona Energy | [email protected] | Minimum 30 Days for both Gas and Electic |
| Scottish Power | [email protected] | Minimum 30 Days |
| Engie (formerly GDF Suez) | [email protected] | 45 Days (I&C), 30 Days (SME) |
| EDF | [email protected] | Minimum 30 Days |
| Total Gas and Power | [email protected] | Minimum 30 Days, sometimes 90 dependent on T's & C's |
| Dual Energy | [email protected] | Minimum 30 Days |
* These contract periods are provided as guidance only, customers should always look to double-check the notice period contained within their supply contract.
Your old supplier may also raise transfer objections for historic debt that is older than the current month so it’s prudent to request a “statement of account” and any outstanding invoices, whilst submitting the termination notice. Should you wish them to your current supplier will still provide you with a renewal offer.
