Home Battery Maker GivEnergy Enters Administration, Cuts Entire Workforce

The collapse throws existing warranties into doubt for UK customers who rely on company support.

Overview

  • GivEnergy Ltd entered administration on April 9 with CB Business Recovery’s Christopher Brooksbank appointed, then halted trading and dismissed all staff.
  • Wholesaler Midsummer Energy de‑listed the brand and warned that warranties, firmware updates, technical help, and spare parts may stop.
  • The Energy Storage Association said the company running GivEnergy’s operational systems is a separate entity not in administration and it is liaising with the Department for Energy Security and Net Zero.
  • Company filings show a £5.4 million loss after tax in 2024, only £41,470 in cash despite £50.3 million in sales, and the annual report blamed weak leadership and poor governance against cheaper imports.
  • Customers are being told to contact their installer or seller for remedies, with credit card buyers able to seek refunds under Section 75 of the Consumer Credit Act.
