ore energy suppliers have gone bust, leaving 500,000 customers needing a new provider, amid record prices for electricity and gas.
Big energy providers fear they will be next to collapse as temperatures go down.

Goto Energy has ceased trading.

It is 16th energy supplier to go bust this year and the 13th since the crisis began in September.

The sector is struggling to cope with record high gas prices.

Soaring wholesale costs combined with the £1,277 price cap on the average energy customer has resulted in many energy firms facing urgent financial difficulties.

Ofgem will designate a new supplier to Goto Energy’s 22,000 customers.

The three firms stopped trading earlier this week.
