Shell Energy is perhaps one of the best-known names in the oil and gas sector in the domestic and international markets. However, Shell Energy has only been operating as a supplier of electricity and gas to homes and businesses since 2018. Formerly branded First Utility, the company was bought by the Royal Dutch Shell conglomerate after agreeing to a deal in late 2017.

Shell Energy is now rapidly becoming one of the UK’s biggest energy suppliers in terms of market share. As of 2019, they have over 700,000 customers. This is thanks in part to the purchase of Green Star Energy in 2019 which brought an additional 200,000 accounts to the company.

This score is based on 102 reviews - it looks as though Shell Energy have recently split their Trustpilot between home customers and business customers, hence the low number of reviews at the moment.

  • Is Shell Energy 100% Renewable?

    All of Shell Energy’s electricity sold to customers comes from 100% renewable sources like wind, solar and biomass. This is guaranteed by the company because its electricity is certified by Renewable Energy Guarantees of Origin (REGOs). These certificates don’t mean that the electricity that is provided is itself from a renewable source necessarily, but that it has been ‘matched’ with equivalent units from 100% renewable sources in the UK.

    While the company is investing more in renewable technologies, the actual amount of renewable energy produced by the company is only a very small proportion (less than 4%) of their fuel mix total.

  • Have Shell Energy Won Any Awards?

    Shell Energy was awarded the top prize in the European Contact Centre Awards in 2021, in the category of ‘Best Large Customer Service Team’.

  • What Is Shell Energy's Cancellation Policy?

    Unfortunately, if you choose to switch to one of Shell’s main fixed-price business energy tariffs, you will be charged an exit fee if you are still in contract. That amount can be up to £75 for most businesses. If you have a variable tariff or are out of contract, you will not be charged an exit fee.

    The only way to avoid being charged an exit fee with Shell Energy is to switch within the renewal period. That is 49 days before your tariff is due to end. 

    Remember that even with an exit fee, it may still be worth switching if you have been with Shell Energy for more than a year. Business Energy can let you know what the best available business energy deals are, and help you decide if moving to a new contract would save your business money in the long term - compare energy deals to find out how much you could save.
