I needed to transfer the account to my name after my mother's death. This was not possible on line but phoning customer service resolved this quickly. I had to close the old account and start a new account in my name. Siobhan made this a very straightforward experience and thoroughly deserved the 5* feedback.

Terrible customer service.

Been trying to get an issue resolved since mid apr caused by Power NIs website not accepting meter reading and attempts via NIE website disappearing into the void.

Constantly fobbed off with "it's been sent to appropriate team" followed by no response and questions underanswered after months. Each contact kicking the dance off again. Thought I was making some progress when I was emailed last week while on holiday. Did not last long as apparently a different advisor has spoken to me (100% untrue) and everything needs to start over again.

edit: Finally have a bill to pay. My main issue here is that it has taken 4 months and dozens of emails to get someone to provide me with the basics needed to pay. Constantly being told the minimum and nothing being done along with no answering questions and making dubious claims is not professional. Shocking that things had got to point where my next steps had to be contacting CCNI.

Our Power NI electricity has went up from £369 to £507

This is it, were finished with power NI. Our bill is atm £369 a month. We do have an electric car but im pretty sure thats still a lot of money to pay for electric every month. Now we have been told our bill is going up to £507 a month...How, thats a big jump, a massive jump which is ludicrous. We cant afford that every month. Thats a jump of £2000 a year. Im so angry with all these companies putting prices up whenever they want and taking the piss out of costumers. You should be ashamed of yourselves Power NI. Normal families cant live with all these price hikes. Stay away from them!

New customer but poor experience so far.

I moved to PowerNI about six weeks ago. However, I am still unable to use their Perks programme. I was promised three weeks ago that the issue would be resolved within 24 hours and I am still waiting. I called them earlier this week and was told someone would get back to me but, of course, they haven't. Not a good experience so far.

Update: As per the response from PowerNI, I have contacted them with the requested information and have had a reply that they are aware of an issue affecting customers and "they will be in touch as soon as possible".

Given that I have been experiencing this issue for three weeks and it remains unresolved with no timescale indicated for resolution, I won't hold my breath. What was the point of asking me to contact the Customer Service team?

I needed to get copies of old bills for a closed account in a hurry. My initial enquiry through the PowerNI Messenger channel was disappointing as there was no response for over 2 hours. People expect chat channels to be instant. However, when I emailed them I got a prompt auto-response and follow up emails and they got me sorted very quickly. Great customer service.
