Daligas Customer? What to do next

If you were one of the 9,000 Daligas customers, we've prepared an FAQ to help answer your questions about what will happen next and what you need to do whilst you wait for your account to be transferred to Shell Energy.

Daligas Frequently Asked Questions

1) I'm an Daligas customer - will I continue to receive energy?

Due to Ofgem's Supplier of Last Resort (SoLR) scheme, customers will continue to receive gas. Any energy supplier that stops trading has its licence revoked, and a bidding process is started to reassign their customers to another supplier, according to the scheme's terms. Shell Energy announced on 17th October 2021 that it would take on all Daligas customers.

When an energy supplier goes out of business, it will often take its website offline shortly after, so we recommend logging in to your customer portal as soon as possible and downloading any bills and statements so you have a written record of this information.

2) Will my energy tariff change?

Former Daligas customers will be put on a deemed tariff rate, which will be protected by the energy price cap. We recommend that you either shop around for a better deal or request that Shell Energy place you on a different tariff because these are some of the most expensive rates a supplier can charge. When you leave your appointed new supplier under the SoLR scheme, you are not required to pay exit fees.

3) How can I get contact my new supplier?

Visit Shell Energy contact to get in touch with your new supplier.

4) I’ve already changed supplier. Will the switch still go ahead?

If you were had already started switching away from Daligas, the switch should still go through, and any Direct Debit you had set up with them should be automatically cancelled. We still advise you to double-check with your bank just to be sure.

5) I had credit on my Daligas account. Will this be refunded?

All customer credit will still be honoured under the terms of the Ofgem SoLR scheme.

6) I was in debt with Daligas. Am I still required to pay it?

You will still be responsible for any outstanding Daligas debts. Shell Energy will let you know whether they will take on your debt or if you will have to work out a payment plan with an administrator, a company that takes over a failing business.

7) I don't want Shell Energy to provide my energy. Is it possible for me to switch to a different supplier?

After the transfer from Daligas to Shell Energy has gone ahead, you're free to switch to another supplier without incurring any exit fees or penalties. We work with a panel of top energy suppliers at Selectra, including British Gas and EDF. To learn more about our best deals, call 020 3936 0059 or request a free callback now.

Daligas login and online account

The Daligas website did not offer customers an online portal where customers can manage their energy tariff. This means there is no Daligas login process and to make changes to your tariff or account, customers must contact Daligas directly.

Meter readings

Daligas customers could submit meter readings online. There was a Daligas meter readings online form you can fill out and send. To complete the form you had to provide the following details:

  • Full name
  • Email address
  • Daligas account number (this will be on recent bills/emails/letters received from Daligas)
  • Meter Point Reference Number (MPRN)
  • Daligas meter reading
  • Date meter read was taken

Daligas tariffs and prices

Keeping things simple, Daligas only offered three gas tariffs — two tariffs for business customers and one tariff for domestic customers.

Domestic tariff

The last gas tariff available (May 2021) for domestic customers was the One Standard Easy 21. This was a variable tariff, meaning the unit rate and standing charge can fluctuate in line with the wholesale price of gas. It had no exit fees and no end date so you could stay on the tariff for as long as you like, but also leave anytime.

Unlike most energy providers, Daligas had a universal unit rate and standing charge, meaning no matter what region you reside in, your unit rate and standing charge stayed the same. This made getting a quote from Daligas really easy.

Business tariffs

Daligas offered two business tariffs. One was a variable tariff and one was fixed.

Budget Billing Plan

Daligas introduced a billing system called the Budget Billing Plan (BBP). Under this system, the provider calculated your individual annual gas cost based on either your usage last year or the size of your property. This estimated figure is what the supplier based your bills and monthly direct debit on.

At least once a year you will also received an accurate bill from the provider based on your meter readings. This is known as a settlement bill. If you had used more energy than predicted, the settlement bill stated how much money you owe Daligas. If you had used less than predicted, it showed how much Daligas owed you and the provider transferred the amount into your account.

Bills were automatically received by email, but you could request paper bills to be posted to your address for no extra charge.

Daligas contact details

As Daligas did not have an online account system, all account activity and queries needed to be handled by the customer service team.
