Historic star rating data
Historic star rating data
As the statutory advocate for energy consumers, Citizens Advice publishes a quarterly rating of all energy suppliers with over 25,000 customers. We compare suppliers across three different categories (complaints, contact waiting time and customer commitments). The charts below explore suppliers’ performance on these metrics going back to 2017. You can also click here to navigate the charts in a dashboard format.
