Energy commission
Has your business been paying too much for its energy?
If so, Join the Claim to get the compensation you deserve.
No-win, no-fee
Overview
UK businesses and other organisations often use energy brokers to find the best gas and electricity deals. People expect these recommendations to be impartial, but some brokers got large commissions for recommending an energy supplier.
It’s not illegal for brokers to be paid commission as long as they’re honest about it and tell you if it’ll affect your energy bills. But, according to lawyers, many brokers didn’t tell energy customers about these commission payments. They also didn’t mention that the energy companies would tack on some of the commission to their bills each month. As a result, many businesses and organisations paid inflated energy costs. In some cases, bills were increased by a staggering 50%.
If an introducer or broker charged you energy commission without your consent, you could be due a refund. Lawyers have launched no-win, no-fee claims to help those misled by the energy brokers. Some organisations could be due tens of thousands of pounds in compensation.

Lawyers have initiated no-win, no-fee claims to assist affected businesses. Answer a few straightforward questions, and you’ll know if you could qualify for energy commission compensation. If your broker let you know they would be paid a commission for recommending a supplier, and got your consent to accept the commission, it is unlikely that you will have a claim.
We cannot say exactly how much compensation you might get if the energy companies are ordered to pay compensation. Each claim is based on its merits and your solicitor will work to get the compensation owed to you. The amount of compensation you could be due will depend on the amount of commission paid and the amount of energy you used. Businesses in the UK could be due between £2,000 – £150,000 in energy business mis-selling compensation.
