Energetix to trial Kingston Energy service

GREEN energy firm Energetix said it has taken a major step to becoming an energy supplier by trialling the services of its energy supply company Kingston Energy with around 100 customers.

The Controlled Market Entry (“CME”) phase, a prerequisite for any new entrant to the retail electricity market, will enable the firm to test Kington’s processes and IT systems and show they are compliant with industry standards.

Kingston will take on the customers over a three-month period and expects to complete the process in January 2013.

The initial batch of energy customers will be supplied electricity and gas and later Kingston Energy plans to install 10-20 Kingston micro combined heat and power boilers to test and refine the installation process.

Energetix has previously promised to provide its Kingston boilers free of charge in return for customers agreeing to purchase gas and electricity from the firm for a fixed period.
 
Kingston’s managing director Tony Stiff said “We are very pleased to have entered into the Controlled Market Entry phase on time and as promised. We are confident that the next three months will demonstrate that, having extensively tested the robustness of our systems, processes and customer services, they will be proven in an operational environment.”
