Before signing

Points to check

  • Not the former Shell Energy Retail household brand acquired by Octopus.
  • Generally aimed at sophisticated commercial and industrial buyers rather than microbusinesses.
  • Recalculate the quote with your own annual consumption, contract dates and every known fee.
  • Confirm broker remuneration, renewal terms, payment method and the complaint escalation route in writing.
