Very late billing
Received a billing 6 weeks after the accounting period ended. Possibly due to delayed information from the property owners.
The payment procedure on the dataenrgy webspace is a waste of time. They previously accepted a credit card payment, but this no longer works. Furthermore, direct payment via so-called 'bank app' does not work when selecting "Make a one-off payment", then following the link to "manual web login". This method failed (multiple times), so I resorted to setting up a Direct Debit, with a short expiry date to prevent repeat DD for the same amount.
Itemised billing does not exist for all of the utilities usage - cold water, heating & electricity. A single consolidated amount is shown for all utiliites - UNACCEPTABLE, again possibly due to tardiness on the part of the property owner. Would love to go back to Octopus, but I have no control over supplier.
UPDATE 19-May-26
Supplier has responded with a detailed route to follow, and indeed it does work in order to pay by credit card. I stand corrected. However, the issue as a user (and former website owner) is that the instruction is ABOVE the location where "credit card payment" is selected, and human interaction anticipates the next step would be BELOW. It's a simple matter of presentation, which does not display well in a pale blue colour on a grey background. I will test this by cancelling my DD and paying by credit card when I am sure the DD is cancelled. Meanwhile, suppliers are waiting for payment for services rendered weeks ago.
FURTHERMORE, supplier states "If your development is billed for multiple utilities, an itemised breakdown can be found on the third page of your invoice, clearly showing the individual charges for each utility."
This is NOT TRUE (3rd page does not exist) and only hot water shows the itemised usage on the WEBPAGE. Nothing for cold water and electricity, YET the headline billing shows the KWh of utilities used. How so ?? Which utilities ?
Conclusion - Still 2 stars, this time for lack of billing details. I expect a visit from supplier on 20-May to look at cold water metering (also zero detailed usage). Clearly something is lacking in this whole process. BTW, I am a multi-decades "data-freak" - be warned.

Dear LimaTango,
Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review. We’re very sorry to hear about your experience.
Our Customer Portal has recently been updated, and the default payment method is now ‘GoCardless’, which allows customers to make online payments quickly and easily through their banking app. However, you are still able to make payments by debit or credit card.
Within the ‘Make Payment’ section, you will see three bullet points at the bottom of the page. The third bullet point contains a clickable link that allows you to pay by debit or credit card. Once you select ‘click here’, the ‘Pay’ button will change to ‘Continue’. After entering the payment amount and selecting ‘Continue’, you will then be able to enter your card details to complete the payment.
If your development is billed for multiple utilities, an itemised breakdown can be found on the third page of your invoice, clearly showing the individual charges for each utility. While the total amount due reflects the combined charges, a detailed breakdown is also provided for clarity.
We have reviewed our records and, unfortunately, were unable to locate any previous correspondence from you. To help us investigate this further, we have contacted you via Trustpilot to request some additional information.
We look forward to hearing from you.
Kind regards,
Data Energy
UPDATE 20/05/2026
Dear LimaTango,
Thank you for confirming that the instructions provided were helpful, and for providing additional feedback regarding the layout and presentation of the ‘GoCardless’ payment journey. Your comments have been noted and will be shared internally as part of our ongoing review of the Customer Portal.
Regarding the itemised billing breakdown, we have now received further information to determine the development your review relates to. We will be in contact as soon as possible to provide a more detailed response directly.
We appreciate your feedback once again.
Kind regards,
Data Energy
I’d give Taya 5 stars but data energy…
I’d give Taya 5 stars but data energy gets 1 star. The processes that advisors have to follow are awful, not proactive and not customer centred. I found the whole experience very frustrating. It’s like the whole objective is to waste as much time as possible, when in reality all that was needed was 2 phone calls - one to existing managing agent and one to previous managing agent. It simple doesn’t make any economic sense to prolong a query for weeks and weeks when only two phone calls are needed to clarify.

Dear Nichola,
Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review. We’re really sorry to hear about your experience.
We’ve reviewed the correspondence shared and can confirm that we were recently made aware of a change in managing agents at your development. When such changes occur, several updates need to be made to our billing software to ensure that we issue invoices displaying the correct details. However, we are unable to action these changes until we receive official confirmation from the new managing agents, along with the date they took over responsibility.
Our team has been proactively reaching out via email and phone calls to obtain the necessary information. We can assure you that billing will resume as soon as we receive all the required details.
Thank you for your kind words about Taya! We are pleased to hear that you are happy with the service you received from her. If you need assistance with anything else in the meantime, please don’t hesitate to reach out.
Kind regards,
Data Energy

Great service
I recently received support from Sara (Customer Care) regarding a metering query, and I was very pleased with the service provided. She was polite, professional, and clearly explained the situation in detail following our phone conversation.
Her follow-up email was thorough and easy to understand, including a helpful breakdown of the consumption figures and possible causes for the higher invoice. I particularly appreciated her proactive approach in raising the query internally and keeping me informed of the next steps.
Overall, Sara provided an excellent level of customer service, and I would be happy to deal with her again

Dear Jon,
Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review. We're really sorry to hear about your experience.
We feel it's important to clarify the role we play at the development, as this differs from a traditional energy supplier. We, Data Energy, have been appointed, via the managing agents, to provide metering and billing services only.
The properties are connected to a communal energy system that generates and/or distributes the utility(ies) we have been appointed to bill on behalf of the supplier (typically the building's owner/freeholder) - supplier information can be found of the top right hand side of the invoices we issue.
This communal energy set up means that residents do not have individual utility supply(ies) or the option to choose their own supplier and subsequent tariff(s). It also means that discounts or schemes applicable to a regular supply set ups are not applicable, since the supplier is not a typical domestic supplier, but rather the company that owns the communal network at the development. However, we want to highlight that should any discounts or schemes be released by the government for this type of supply, we will be sure to get in touch about it.
To clarify, we do not own or operate the network, and we are not an energy supplier. Our role is to administer billing based on the structure, and processes (such as credit control) agreed upon with our client, the metering data available and the tariff approved by our client for their development.
Regarding the tariff, this is calculated as accurately as possible to recover sufficient funds to clear: the costs of the incoming supply to the communal energy system, the fixed costs associated with running the network and the metering and billing services required by our client for their development. There is no uplift in the tariff and this spread equally accross the period its applicable for and the number or properties at the development.
We’re sorry for the current phone waiting times. Please be assured that our team is working hard to reach every caller as quickly as possible. To help with this, we’ve introduced a new feature that lets you keep your place in the queue without staying on hold - the system will automatically call you back when it’s your turn. This feature is mentioned on the automatic message when customers contact our Customer Care team over the phone.
Our Customer Care team is also available via one of the options below:
- Live Chat: Available on our Help Centre page, within the Residents Hub, Monday to Friday, 9 AM - 4 PM at https://helpcentre.dataenergy.co.uk/hc/en-gb - Our response time is between 5 - 10 minutes.
- Submit an Online Query: Available on our Help Centre page within the Residents Hub at https://helpcentre.dataenergy.co.uk/hc/en-gb/requests/new - Due to the volume of queries our current response time is between 5 - 7 working days.
We have looked through our records and were unable to find any correspondence with you. To assist you better, we reached out via Trustpilot to request additional details.
We look forward to receiving this.

We just switched to Data Energy and there isn’t a reference number to identify my flat if I don’t get into their portal before I pay.

Dear Emily,

When you pay via Bank Transfer, you can utilise the account number as payment reference which will ensure the payment is allocated to your account. Nonetheless we do recommend payments to be made via the online portal as it gives you and our team an instant record of payments made to the account.
