Welcome to our new customers joining us from Utility Point

You’ll move to an EDF tariff, which is different from the one you had with Utility Point.

Your new tariff will have no exit fees and your prices will be in your welcome information (this will be sent to you once you have started your migration over to EDF systems). You can choose one of our fixed tariffs if you wish - but we ask that you please wait until your transfer to us is complete. Your start date will be in the welcome letter so please contact us after this date.

During the transfer period, we can't to set up Direct Debits or make changes to your contract. However, once the transfer is complete you can easily make any changes via your online MyAccount or by contacting us directly. Your transfer will be complete once we reach the start date noted in your welcome letter.

When your transfer to EDF is complete, depending on your payment type, your first billing period will begin from the day you switch to EDF. For Cash Cheque customers this means a bill will be issued every month requesting payment of any outstanding balance.

If you have a monthly Direct Debit set up - we'll produce a statement within the first 6 months of your supply with EDF. We'll also review your Direct Debit amount to make sure you're paying the correct amount, covering how much energy you're using. At the end of the 12-month period, we'll carry out a full Direct Debit review, again looking at your energy usage. We'll then ask for any outstanding amounts/or credit your account. We can then set the right monthly amount for the next year.

Prior to each billing period ending, we'll send you a request for a meter reading (unless you have a compatible smart meter). Giving us a meter reading at this point means we can more accurately calculate your ongoing monthly Direct Debit amounts as well as predicted energy usage.

Yes. There are no exit fees on your new EDF tariff. 

To ensure we bill you correctly, administrators for Utility Point are sending us your previous account details. We’ll treat them securely and in line with our privacy notice. The information will be used to help manage your account and collect any outstanding payments. Read our privacy policy

We really hope you’ll be happy being an EDF customer, but if you'd like to switch supplier, we recommend waiting until you have received your new EDF account details to prevent any problems with your switch.

It will depend on how far your transfer has progressed. If your transfer has gone through, you'll hear from your new supplier. Check with the supplier you were transferring to.

No, your smart meter appointment will not take place with your previous supplier. Once you have transferred over to EDF and are in our systems, we will be in contact directly to arrange an appointment.

We will work with Utility Point to transfer customers to EDF. This will be completed in phases. Rest assured we will migrate customers over to systems as quickly and effectively as possible.

Once you have commenced your transfer to EDF, we'll send your personalised welcome information. It'll include details of your account, tariff and prices as well as what to expect next. We’re working to move all customers across to us as soon as possible.

Once you have received your welcome letter your transfer should take around 3 weeks to complete, at which point you will be a fully-fledged EDF customer on our systems.

During the transfer period, we are unable to set up Direct Debits or make changes to your contract. However, once the transfer is complete you can easily make any changes via your online MyAccount or by contacting us directly.

• Your moving date,
• Electricity and gas meter readings from your old home,
• Electricity and gas meter readings from your new home,
• Address of your new home so we can get your account set up accurately,
• A forwarding address for us to send the final bill to.

Once you have registered your details with us, there is no need to call us again as we will keep you updated.

Domestic customer credit balances are protected by Ofgem regulations and EDF will honour any valid credit balances that current and former customers have/had with Utility Point. Once a final closing account statement has been generated by Utility Point, we will transfer the balance onto your new EDF account, and this will count towards your future energy consumption.

If you switched to a different supplier before Utility Point went into Administration and have a valid credit balance, we will contact you to let you know how we will get this back to you – please bear with us as this may take some time. Please be assured we are working hard to return your credit balance to you as soon as possible.

All debt balances will be transferred across to EDF, even if you have already left Utility Point prior to the switch. EDF will be responsible for the collection of any debt balances and we will be in contact once this information has been transferred across.  If you're experiencing financial hardship, we have a range of options to pay for your energy at an affordable rate. We understand times are hard at the moment and we're here to help find the right solution for you.

We’d love to help you, but we do not hold any details of previous bills or payments. This applies to all bills or payments dated before 14 September 2021.

If you're on the Priority Services Register with Utility Point, EDF will attempt to transfer this.

When your account is fully registered with EDF, you’ll be sent information about the services available as part of our Priority Service Register. You may want to take the opportunity to update the information we hold, including the consent to share your data or request accessible bill formats such as large print, braille, or audio.
