Extra Energy in a nutshell
- Extra Energy is the newest electricity and gas supplier on the UK market.
- It is competitive, and its fixed price offers are among the cheapest.
- However, its reputation is difficult to establish given its recent arrival on the market.
Extra Energy, the newest player on the UK energy market
Extra Energy was founded in early 2014. It is the newest electricity and gas provider on the UK energy market. However, Extra Energy is the UK equivalent of Extra Energie, a German electricity and gas company with over 1 million customers.

Extra Energy current prices
Extra Energy hopes to attract customers by offering some of the cheapest prices on the market. Although its variable tariff offer is not the cheapest, it remains competitive. Its fixed price offer is one of the cheapest on the UK market, however. Extra Energy does this by reducing margins: all customers must pay their electricity and gas bills by direct debit and manage their energy account online.

Extra Energy customer reviews
Unfortunately, it is currently impossible to provide an accurate report on Extra Energy’s customer service. Extra Energy has yet to publish its first complaints performance report and there are too few online reviews to establish how well Extra Energy customers are treated by its customer care agents.
