Ørsted UK - Customer FAQs

Total Gas & Power, established 1987, is part of the TotalEnergies Group, a broad energy company.  We are business energy experts rated as "Great" on Trustpilot by our customers.  We supply all types of businesses, from single sites to large industrial and commercial as well as multisite including the public sector.  We also offer renewable energy and electric vehicle charging.  Our aim is to be the UK's most trusted energy supplier.  We work hard to achieve this through delivering a great customer experience, offering industry-leading products and services whilst being guided by the TotalEnergies values. https://www.gas-power.total.co.uk/information-centre/about-us

As a result of Ørsted taking the decision to reduce their participation in the downstream energy markets including supplying gas & power to UK businesses, Total Gas & Power has acquired the majority of Ørsted's business customer UK portfolio.  This includes natural gas and electricity customers of which 97% are on green certificate backed products on the power side.  We have been busy preparing for your arrival to ensure the transfer is as smooth as possible and we’re looking forward to getting to know you and your business.

You should now raise any new enquiries about your energy account to Total Gas & Power.  The only enquiries that should go to Ørsted are those relating to an outstanding query, complaint or a credit or debit on your Ørsted energy account.

Please look out for your Welcome information along with your Customer Information Form which we will be sending shortly via email wherever possible. If we don’t have an email address for you, we’ll post it to you. If you aren’t sure whether we will have your email address, then please email us at [email protected] for smaller businesses and [email protected] for larger business users and include your contact and company details as well as your site information.

If you don’t want to wait until you receive your Welcome Information, you can find all the welcome information here including downloadable forms:

For larger business energy users:  https://connect.totalgp.com/welcome-mb

From this point onwards, you will only need to contact Ørsted if you have an outstanding query with them, or an outstanding debit or credit on your account with them.  All other matters will be handled by us.

Unless you have been advised otherwise, you will transfer to Total Gas & Power on the 1st March 2021.

Total Gas & Power is well placed to offer you a continuation of the great service you received from Ørsted. Rest assured that your contract will remain in force until the renewal date as well as all terms and conditions.  Whilst the energy product will remain the same, as is the case with different energy suppliers, the invoice may look a little different.  If you are a large user of energy, you will be contacted by your Account Manager who will explain to you how we are delivering the Ørsted products to you.

All renewable contracts will also be honoured.  Total’s aim is to develop a portfolio of low-carbon electricity businesses with the goal of generating 15% to 20% of our sales from low-carbon electricity by 2040.
