At EDF Energy we always try to give customers the best service, but we don’t always get things right. If we’ve made a mistake and you would like to complain, there’s a simple process you can follow. This document tells you everything you need to know and what you can expect to happen.

The first thing we’ll do is apologise, then we’ll explain why the mistake happened and take all the necessary steps to put things right. Rest assured that resolving your complaint matters to us and we’ll do everything to make it happen. If it’s appropriate, we’ll offer you financial compensation so you’re not left out of pocket.

Step three: External Advice

Ombudsman Services: Energy

We’ll always try to come to an outcome we’re both happy with and while we do this in most cases, sometimes we won't always reach a joint resolution. If this happens, we’ll write to you explaining our final position, this is known as a ‘deadlock’ letter and at this point, or if it has been eight weeks since you first complained, you have the right to contact the Ombudsman Services: Energy.

The Energy Ombudsman are free, totally independent and don’t take sides. Decisions are based on the facts available, they may ask us to take remedial action, apologise, provide an explanation and may require us to award compensation. Energy suppliers are bound by the decisions they make, but customers are not. 

A Micro Business is any customer that has:

• An annual consumption of electricity not more than 100,000 kWh; or

• An annual consumption of gas of not more than 293,000 kWh; or

• Fewer than the equivalent of 10 full time employees, and an annual turnover or annual balance sheet total not exceeding €2 million.
