We will attempt to resolve your complaint within 20 working days.
Utilities Disputes Ltd Scheme
Nova Energy is a member of the Utilities Disputes Ltd Scheme (UD), previously known as Electricity and Gas Complaints Commissioner Scheme (EGCC) up to 31 October 2016. UDL is an independent scheme that is dedicated to resolving electricity and gas complaints in a fair and equitable manner, at no cost to you.
You can refer your complaint to the UD if:
- we have not resolved your complaint within 20 working days and we have not written to you with good reasons why it will take more time; or
- we have taken longer than 40 working days to resolve your complaint.
The UD may agree to consider your complaint before 20 working days have passed if:
- we have made it clear that we are not going to do anything about your complaint;
- waiting any longer would cause you (as complainant) unreasonable harm; or
- it would be otherwise unjust to wait any longer
The contact details for the UD are:
