Ofgem has initiated compliance engagement proceedings with OVO Energy, in response to mounting concerns over unresolved customer complaints and extended waiting periods.
The move follows alerts from the Energy Ombudsman and Citizens Advice Scotland, prompting Ofgem’s intervention to ensure that customer service standards are upheld.
OVO Energy has been tasked with meeting specific improvement targets and addressing the backlog of outstanding complaints promptly.
Ofgem‘s expectations also encompass a reduction in the time it takes to resolve customer issues.
