Octopus Energy takeover of Bulb delayed after High Court hears of ‘very serious concerns’

Another hearing is now expected towards the end of the month after the High Court judge adjourned ordering the start of the scheme.

Mr Justice Zacaroli said: “I do not think there is a level of urgency that requires me to go ahead and appoint an effective date today.”

The transition of Bulb’s customer base to Octopus Energy has left many concerned about what the switch will mean for them.

However, these consumers will reportedly not need to do anything during the transition as everything will happen automatically.

Rocio Concha, director of policy and advocacy at Which?, told Chronicle Live: “Your new supplier will get in touch to tell you about your new tariff, how payments will work and how you’ll get any credit back.”
