Energy Storage Company Enters Administration with Full Workforce Redundancy
GivEnergy Ltd, a prominent UK supplier of residential and commercial battery storage systems, has officially entered administration, resulting in the loss of all jobs within the company. The firm appointed Christopher Brooksbank of CB Business Recovery Ltd as administrator, with the notice published in the London Gazette on April 10, 2026.
Financial Troubles and Administrative Appointment
According to filings with Companies House, GivEnergy suffered a significant after-tax loss of approximately £5.4 million for the year ending December 2024. This financial downturn preceded the company's collapse into administration on April 9, 2026. Mark Barlow, Senior Case Administrator at CB Business Recovery, confirmed the appointment and detailed the immediate consequences for the business.
All trading activities have ceased, and every employee has been made redundant, marking a complete shutdown of operations. Stakeholders are advised that no further goods or services should be provided to GivEnergy Ltd, as the company is no longer operational.
Impact on Customers and Warranty Services
The administration has severe implications for customers who purchased GivEnergy's battery storage systems. Hardware warranties will no longer be honored, and ongoing user and software support has been discontinued. Consumers are directed to contact their original installers for initial support, with further enquiries to be emailed to info@cb-br.co.uk.
This disruption affects both residential and commercial users who relied on GivEnergy for energy storage solutions, potentially leaving them without technical assistance or warranty coverage.
Clarification on Related Entities
To prevent confusion among stakeholders, it has been clarified that the administration applies solely to GivEnergy Ltd. The following related legal entities are not under administration:
- Givenergy Group Limited
- Givenergy Commercial Limited
- Givenergy Australia PTY Ltd
- Giveducation Limited
- Givenergy Software Limited
- Givenergy Property Limited
- Satori Education Limited
Business dealings with these entities should continue as usual, with queries directed to the relevant organization.
Notification Process for Creditors and Interested Parties
All known creditors of GivEnergy Ltd will receive formal notification of the administration within the next 48 hours, directly from the administrator's office. Parties with an interest in the company's business are instructed to send their enquiries to info@cb-br.co.uk for further guidance.
The collapse of GivEnergy highlights the challenges within the energy storage sector, particularly for companies specializing in residential and commercial battery systems. The loss of all jobs underscores the severe impact of the administration on the workforce and the broader industry.
