What do I do if I suspect someone if committing energy theft?
As an energy supplier, ENGIE is legally obligated to investigate the theft of energy actively.
We recognise the importance of identifying where customers may be facing challenging circumstances whilst undertaking our investigations. However, energy theft is dangerous and criminal activity.
We will investigate premises where we have reason to suspect that it is taking place. Energy theft is a crime. If you suspect someone is committing energy theft or has tampered with your meter, report it immediately by contacting Crimestoppers on 0800 023 2777. For more information and advice on energy theft, go to www.stayenergysafe.co.uk
Should you have any questions, please contact our Customer Service Team on 0800 170 1112 or at support.customerservice.uk@engie.com

I would like to have my Gas or Electricity meter disconnected, what do I need to do?
Electricity
If you would like your meter completely disconnected, you may either contact your DNO (Distribution Network Operator) with the request, or you may contact us at the details below and we will contact your DNO to arrange disconnection.
If you would like your meter to be de-energised with the potential for re-energisation in the future, please contact us to discuss your options. Please note that some charges may still apply, as the site is still connected to the network.
Gas
If you would like your Gas meter to be disconnected or removed, please complete a SiteWorks Form and return to our Customer Services Team on the details provided below and we will review your request. Once your meter has been disconnected, please ensure to let us know so that we can collect and return your meter, free of charge.
If your meter was removed, but there is still a supply to the site you will continue to be charged based on the sited connection to the network.
Electricity
If your site was disconnected, we will be unable to close your account without receiving evidence of disconnection, this may be the Job Reference Number, Disconnection Certificate or Engineer Details.
Please contact us on the details provided below and we will be able to confirm this with your DNO (Distribution Network Operator) and wrap up your account.
Gas
If the meter is not returned to the MAM, the owner of the meter, it becomes more difficult for us to close your account and may result in a fee. Once your meter has been disconnected, please ensure to let us know so that we can collect and return your meter, free of charge, to prevent any further charges.

How do I transfer my supply to another energy provider?
We’re sorry you’ve chosen to leave us. You can find your contract end date on your contract, or if you are a Micro Business Consumer this will be on your invoices. If you decide to leave us at the end of your contract please let us know, by contacting us at terminations@engie.com or write to us at our ENGIE Supply UK address below:
ENGIE
No1 Leeds
26 Whitehall Road
Leeds LS12 1BE
To make sure your account closure goes smoothly, please provide your new supplier with an up-to-date meter(s) read taken on the day of your switch. Your new supplier will then provide ENGIE with the read(s) and we will produce your final bill. This can take up to 6 weeks to reach you.
If you pay by Direct Debit, it’s advisable to leave this in place until you’ve received your final bill and a final payment has been taken or a refund provided. Once the final payment / refund has taken place, your account will be closed.
If you are due to transfer to ENGIE as a new customer, please ensure that you have terminated your contract with your current supplier to ensure that you are able to switch successfully.
If you are attempting to transfer your supply to a new energy provider, there are a few reasons why ENGIE may object to the switch. Energy suppliers may object to a switch due to the below reasons:
- Your supply may still be within its fixed contracted term
- You may have outstanding debt on your account
- You or someone from your company may have requested that the switch be blocked
- The new supplier may request that the old supplier blocks the switch
- The transfer request may have been for one meter point from a related set.
Where we have objected to a switch, we will have sent you an email to let you know why we have objected and who you should contact for a resolution. If you have any further questions, please contact our Customer Service Team.
If your switch to ENGIE has been blocked by another supplier, please contact them for further information.
