Hi @
Evie88,
For Clarity, the recent Ofgem investigation into Warm Home Discount payments. Ofgem found that due to an internal error, around 4,000 customers did not receive their payment on time. While this was regrettable, itโs important to note that this represented only 0.5% of our customer base.
As soon as the issue was identified, it was rectified and compensation was paid to those affected, in line with Ofgemโs requirements. Utilita continues to operate fully within the Warm Home Discount scheme rules, which are set by the government and regulated by Ofgem.

Itโs also worth highlighting that over the past year, Utilita has taken extra steps to support customers these include:
Our charity Utilita Giving.
We published guidance to help customers unlock unclaimed government benefits such as Pension Credit and Winter Fuel Payments.
We continue to provide energyโsaving advice, smart meter support, and priority services for vulnerable households.
