What has happened to GivEnergy?

GivEnergy Ltd entered administration on 9 April 2026.

An administrator has been appointed to manage the company’s affairs while options are explored.

The company has ceased trading and all its employees have been made redundant.

This is a formal UK insolvency process, not an immediate shutdown of customer systems.

What does “administration” mean in the UK?

Administration is a legal process designed to give a company breathing space.

An independent administrator takes control to try to rescue the business, sell it, or manage an orderly wind-down.

It is different from liquidation or personal bankruptcy and does not mean customer equipment stops working straight away.

Will my GivEnergy battery still work?

Yes, your installed GivEnergy battery should continue to operate as normal.

Industry guidance states that home battery systems already fitted and working will generally keep charging and discharging as they did before.

Built-in safety systems remain active even if manufacturer support changes.

Will the GivEnergy app and portal still work?

At the time of writing the app and online portal are reported as unaffected.

These services are run by a separate group company (GivEnergy Software Ltd) that has not entered administration.

However, circumstances can change, so it is sensible to keep a note of your system settings and performance data.

What happens to my warranty?

Warranty claims may become more uncertain or harder to enforce.

Support and warranty outcomes will depend on who sold and installed your system and the exact terms of your purchase.

Based on the information currently available, customers should not assume the original manufacturer warranty will operate as it did before.

Who should I contact if I need help?

Contact the company or person who sold and installed your system first.

Your installer or retailer is usually best placed to advise on any fault or support needed.

Do not contact the administrator directly unless advised to do so by your installer.

Practical checklist for homeowners:

  • Keep proof of purchase and installation paperwork

  • Save all warranty documents and battery serial numbers

  • Check who installed the system and note their contact details

  • Contact your installer or retailer first for any issues

  • Do not tamper with the battery or inverter yourself

  • Seek qualified help straight away if you have a fault or safety concern

In summary

  • Your installed GivEnergy battery should keep working as normal for now.

  • The app is currently unaffected but this could change.

  • Warranty and future support may be harder to access - contact your installer first.

  • Keep your paperwork safe and do not tamper with the hardware.

  • Check official sources and your installer for the latest updates.

This remains a developing situation. Customers should check the latest guidance from the administrator, their installer, and official sources such as the UK Energy Storage Association.

We hope this guide brings some clarity.
