Hello Chris,
Thank you for leaving us a review. We appreciate your feedback regarding smart meters. We would like to confirm that smart meters are not mandatory for cheaper tariffs. However, we encourage customers to install smart meters so that we can accurately generate billing statements based on actual readings and usage.
I have sent you an email with the details of your query, please respond to the email so that we can move towards a suitable resolution.
Kind regards

Hello Moira,
Thank you for taking the time to leave your review, and we’re really sorry to hear about your experience. We understand how frustrating it can be when you’re trying to get help and can’t easily find a way to speak to someone directly, especially if using online services isn’t your preferred option.
At So Energy, we aim to make managing your account as simple as possible, but we recognise that this isn’t the same for everyone. Your feedback is really important and highlights where we need to improve, particularly in making our contact options clearer and more accessible.
We’d really like to put your mind at ease and make sure everything has been done correctly on your account.
I've sent you an email asking you for a preferred time for a telephone call. If you could please review and respond at the earliest opportunity available, it would be very much appreciated.

6 weeks of total incompetence, a stalled renovation project, and a shameless £160 charge for a failed job!
Avoid So Energy if you are doing a renovation. I spent 6 WEEKS proactively working with them to move my electricity meter from inside to outside. I provided full scopes, dimension metrics, and clear site photos. Anyone with basic, entry-level training in energy assets knows this requires DNO (SSEN) coordination.
Instead, So Energy totally ignored my documentation, failed to guide me that I need work with the network, and sent a standard engineer on May 26th who couldn't touch the system. Result? My entire construction timeline has ground to a halt, costing me material builder downtime.
To add absolute insult to injury, they have shamelessly slapped a £160 meter move charge onto my bill for a job they completely failed to do! Their customer service is an uncontactable black hole—they have literally deactivated their direct complaints email aliases to hide from customers.
Account: 01553901. I demand a Senior Operations Manager picks up the phone and calls me directly today to coordinate with SSEN, credit back the fraudulent £160 charge, and sort this disaster out. Citizens Advice and the Extra Help Unit are now officially involved.

Hello Rajwinder,
We’re very sorry to hear about your experience and the impact this has had on your renovation project. We fully appreciate how important timelines are in this situation, and we regret the frustration and disruption caused.
To clarify, meter relocations can vary in complexity. Where a move is within 80cm of the existing position, this can typically be carried out without the involvement of the Distribution Network Operator (in your case, SSEN).
However, where the relocation exceeds 80cm, the DNO must be involved, as the work extends beyond the scope of what a supplier engineer can complete. We’re sorry if this distinction was not clearly communicated to you earlier in the process.
You can find out more in the link below:
https://justsoyouknow.so.energy/posts/2110573-our-metering-services-and-charges-listed
Regarding the failed appointment, we recognise how disappointing this must have been, particularly after the information you had already provided. This is not the experience we aim to deliver, and your feedback has been shared internally.
In relation to the £160 charge, this was outlined and agreed to in the email communication sent to you before the appointment.
That said, we understand your concerns and, as advised, we have sent you a follow-up email to discuss this matter further and review your case in more detail.
We can confirm your case has been escalated internally, and we are continuing to work towards a resolution. Please do refer to our latest email, and we will ensure we support you through the next steps.
Kind Regards,
Jag.

Very good service
I've always found SO Energy to be helpful, polite and professional.
I had a few problems with my new Smart metre. Had to have 3 before one worked & it was a long time coming but now all seems well. And theres the beauty of not having to read my metre myself, which is great!
