From now on it’s E.ON. As of December 3rd 2007 Powergen became E.ON, one of the world's largest investor owned energy companies, who is committed to changing energy for the better. That means they want to change where we get energy from, how we receive it and how we use it more efficiently.

In the UK, E.ON’s generation business produces enough electricity to cater for the needs of around eight million homes. E.ON is one of the leading green generators, with 21 wind farms located from Cornwall to Northern Ireland and has recently finished building the UK’s largest dedicated biomass power stations at Lockerbie.

E.ON is currently developing one of the world's largest offshore wind farms, which will be built here, in UK waters.

Customer Service is above average

Supplier Ratings

I have been an online direct debit customer for over 2 years, and I praise E.ON for their Customer Service, via a FREE telephone call centre, that goes direct to a real, UK based-person. The only criticism I have is that it is very difficult to keep up with the newest/ latest / cheapest- tariffs. I think even on their website it is difficult to work out the best choice. I only kept track, by using this comparison website!

Rubbish customer service.

E-on failed to bill me for 6 months becasue my Gas meter had gone round the clock, and it ' confused their system'. When they did, they then backdated my bill 14 months, leaving me owing £116. This was because they had reduced my direct debit based on their estimated reading. They offered me no explanation nor compensation. I switched within 10 minutes of putting down the phone to them.

THE WORST ENERGY SUPPLIER EVER !!!

Added 27/06/2008, reviewed by anonymous (Newcastle Upon Tyne)

Supplier Ratings

After being with e-on for a year and a half I've had enough and I'm moving supplier. Myself and partner live in a 2 bedroom flat and due to working shifts we are only her about 1/2 a month and when were off where hardly in. In April I received a letter saying that they were in creasing my £58 a month bill to £125 !!!!!! I explained that this cannot be correct and received a credit for them and my direct debit stayed the same. I have now received another letter like this saying that they are increasing my direct debit again to £93 a month. I have asked them to check the meters in the flat and I have been told that I will have to pay £93.00 x 2 to do this !!! I have given up asking to speak to managers so I'm now looking to move.

Stupid Estimates

Added 25/06/2008, reviewed by anonymous (Hitchin)

Supplier Ratings

I lived in a Economy 7 studio flat, and my bills from Powergen (Eon) were always extortionate... increasing to £50 a month when I barely even needed the heating on to keep warm (it was that small !!). I've now moved to a larger one bedroom flat, where although I am no longer economy 7, timed boiler (2-3hrs/day), & double glazed. My new estimated bill was £76 a month, even though I live on my own and am never there during the day. I refused this Direct Debit, and have been putting my readings in weekly. Fed up of calling them constantly, and worrying about another increase... I have now decided to switch suppliers to EDF as it turns out I can make a substantial saving with them... and who knows... they may even be able to estimate properly!

Price Rise

I was told they were going to increase my Direct Debit by 50%. I asked what other tarrifs were available and was told to transfer to their online extra and I would save £124 per year. WHY DIDN'T THEY TELL ME THAT WITHOUT ME HAVING TO ASK?????. Going to British Gas and should save £250 per year. I hope!!
