Company history

Utility Warehouse is owned by Telecom Plus, which was founded in 1996 to offer customers calling alternatives to save money on their landline phone calls.

The Utility Warehouse brand has been linked to Telecom Plus since 2002 when Telecom Plus launched it as a single brand to encompass all of the company’s residential services.

In 2006, Utility Warehouse and Telecom Plus entered into an agreement with npower. This involved npower supplying gas and electricity to all Utility Warehouse’s customers. Utility Warehouse sold its two subsidiaries; Electricity Plus and Gas Plus to npower. In 2013, npower sold these two subsidiaries back to Utility Warehouse for around £218million. This meant that Utility Warehouse became one of the largest independent energy suppliers in the country at the time with more than 500,000 customers.

The firm is based in London and currently has more than 600,000 customers, with the help of 40,000 independent distributors.
