The only reference about SERIS on this page goes to a blog post about rising energy prices. In the comments one poster mentions all the information that is referenced. 138.40.111.58 ( talk) 19:09, 11 November 2013 (UTC)
I don't have time to do much with it, but this recent report commissioned by Energy-UK looks like it has more up to date information than this article : http://www.energy-uk.org.uk/publication/finish/5-research-and-reports/1061-cornwall-energy-competition-in-british-household-energy-supply-markets-report-march-2014.html Chrislintott ( talk) 16:43, 30 August 2014 (UTC)
I think this page should become more generalised, rather than focusing on the Big Six it should be about energy providers with the Big Six as a subsection AnwvXLd ( talk) 21:33, 7 February 2020 (UTC)
Green Network Energy collapse on 27/01/2021 with 360,000 customers. Avro Energy collapsed on 22/09/2022 with 580,000 and Green Energy collapsed on 22/09/2022. https://www.which.co.uk/reviews/energy-companies/article/energy-company-reviews/green-network-energy-aIrMl6Q5eqZj - Which? https://www.which.co.uk/reviews/energy-companies/article/energy-companies/avro-energy-aVhdY1j9ZF1d - Which? https://www.which.co.uk/reviews/energy-companies/article/energy-company-reviews/green-network-energy-aIrMl6Q5eqZj - Which? 79.76.244.247 ( talk) 19:09, 22 September 2021 (UTC)
This is meant to be an article about the Bix Six companies- do we really need a complete list of every UK energy that's gone bust? It doesn't seem directly relevant, especially when most of these were caused by 2021 United Kingdom natural gas supplier crisis- it would be a lot more relevant content there rather than here, in my opinion.

The result of the move request was: no consensus. There simply hasn't been enough participation, even after two relists, to determine consensus at this time. ( closed by non-admin page mover) SkyWarrior 01:36, 24 November 2021 (UTC)
Big Six energy suppliers → ? – The scope of this article is more than the Big Six companies, as we're including alternative companies to the Big Six, as well every defunct company since 2018. Therefore the article name should be changed to a more general title e.g. United Kingdom retail electricity suppliers (or something similar).

Changes were made today to the companies list which take the article in a wrong direction. Previously we described (using past tense) the six that dominated the market after it was deregulated in 1998/9, and the consolidation to a Big Five in 2019. Today's good faith changes updated the table to the current six biggest by adding Octopus, one of the newer competitors. Since the topic is the Big Six and not "the current top six" I feel we should keep the historical picture of the industry as it was in the 2000s and 2010s. Wire723 ( talk) 18:23, 21 October 2021 (UTC)
