A UK energy company has plunged into administration, putting 300 jobs at risk. Wales-based firm Consumer Energy Solutions installs insulation systems, heating systems and renewables into homes throughout Britain.
However, it has announced on its website that it has ceased trading with “immediate effect”, meaning it will be unable to carry out any further work for customers.
It said: “Please note that James Saunders and Michael Lennon of KR8 Advisory Limited were appointed as Joint Administrators of Consumer Energy Solutions Limited on 9 January 2026, the Company has ceased trading with immediate effect. The Company is unable to complete any further work for customers.
“It should be noted that the Administration of the Company does not involve any other companies in the City Energy Group. The Joint Administrators will be contacting creditors and employees directly to confirm the next steps and how claims will be processed. You do not need to do anything further at this stage.”
The company also informed former customers with issues related to any work that has been carried out that they now need to seek help elsewhere.
The announcement said: “As Consumer Energy Solutions has entered Administration, we will be unable to carry out any remedial works or repairs, or to progress or resolve any existing complaints.
“If you have had an installation completed by Consumer Energy Solutions and are experiencing any issues that you believe require rectification, we refer you to the following insurance backed guarantee providers who will be able to advise.”
The firm detailed that its affairs are being managed by joint administrators James Saunders and Michael Lennon, who are authorised and regulated by the Insolvency Practitioners’ Association.
The joint administrators act as agents of the company and without personal liability, the announcement said.
Consumer Energy Solutions says on its website that it installs energy efficiency measures, “including insulation, renewable heating systems and solar PV into UK homes, and we’re pretty good at it”.
It adds: “We specialise in using government backed grants to get your home transformed into a more energy efficient household with no cost to yourself.
“Grants from schemes such as the Energy Company Obligation (ECO) — including Local Authority Flexibility (LA Flex), Warm Home funding and the Green Homes Grant Local Authority Delivery Scheme.
“This reduces your energy bills and carbon emissions and can increase the value of your home.”
