Key information about Co-operative Energy

Co-operative Energy customers receive their gas and electricity supply from Octopus Energy, after they joined the brand in September 2019. Octopus Energy takes care of Co-op’s customer service, although Co-op Energy is still responsible for attracting new customers.

The firm is owned by its members who have a say in how the provider is run. In the past, members were able to have a say in where Co-op bought its energy from. The company is part of The Midcounties Co-operative, the UK’s largest independent co-operative.

Co-op Energy only sells 100% renewable electricity tariffs, and is working alongside Octopus Energy to increase community-generated power throughout the UK.

The supplier aims to provide a ‘fair, transparent energy service’, and has a long-term vision to customer acquisition. Co-op energy is the only UK energy provider that is owned by its customers. Members can share in their profits and can voice their opinions on how they think the company should be run.

 

Company history

Co-op Energy launched in 2010 as an alternative to the ‘Big Six’ energy providers. Currently, the company has three sites, one office in Warwick and two offices in Walsall.

The company was awarded the Which? Positive Change Award in 2012, which recognises a company that has made significant changes to give customers a better deal.

In 2014, Co-operative Energy launched ‘User Chooser’ which allowed its customers to choose where their electricity is sourced from. This initiative won the EU Sustainable Energy Europe Award in 2015.

In late 2016, Co-op Energy was selected by industry regulator Ofgem to take on all of GB Energy’s 160,000 customers after the firm collapsed.

Flow Energy was acquired by Co-operative energy in May 2018, taking over its 130,000 customers. The provider stated that Flow Energy would remain a separate brand under Co-op Energy.
