What is the Share Energy Refer-a-Friend scheme?

Quick answer
Share Energy's Refer-a-Friend scheme gives the existing customer £20 credit and the person they refer £20 credit once the new customer becomes live. The referral uses a unique code found in the Share Energy app or Customer Portal. Credit customers receive account credit and keypad customers receive a top-up code by email.

What do you get for referring someone to Share Energy?
For every successful referral, both people receive £20 credit. The reward is applied after the person being referred completes their switch and becomes a live Share Energy customer.

●    Existing customer: £20 credit for each successful referral.
●    New customer: £20 credit after becoming live.
●    Credit customer: reward is applied to the electricity account.
●    Keypad customer: reward is sent as a top-up code by email.
●    Referral method: unique referral code from the app or Customer Portal.

Key takeaway: A successful referral is worth £20 to you and £20 to the person you refer.

How do you refer a friend to Share Energy?
Open the Share Energy app or Customer Portal and find your unique referral code. Send that code to the person you want to refer. They enter it when signing up to Share Energy.

There is no referral link to track. Once the new customer goes live, the referral is matched and the relevant credit is issued.

Key takeaway: Share the code, not a link.

When is the £20 referral credit applied?
The credit is issued once the referred person becomes a live Share Energy customer. Share Energy also confirms the reward by email. Keypad customers receive the top-up code they need to enter into their meter.

Is there a limit on Share Energy referrals?
Share Energy does not currently publish a cap on the number of people a customer can refer. That means multiple successful referrals can generate multiple £20 credits.

For example, three successful referrals would generate £60 in credit for the referring customer.

What does the person you refer sign up for?
The person you refer becomes a Share Energy electricity customer on the tariff they select. Current domestic tariffs, unit rates and standing charges should always be checked on Share Energy's residential tariffs page, where the latest prices are published.

Share Energy domestic tariffs have no long-term contract and no exit fee. Customers can also use the Share Energy app and Customer Portal to manage their account, submit meter readings, view monthly usage and make payments.

Share Energy also operates a profit-share model and commits to sharing 50% of annual profits with qualifying customers once the company is profitable.

How long does switching to Share Energy take to set up?
The online sign-up form takes around three minutes to complete. Once you’ve signed up, the full switching process can take up to three weeks. Share Energy will send you a confirmation pack that includes your estimated switchover date. 

Switching supplier does not normally require an engineer visit, interrupt your electricity supply or involve paper forms. If you want to check the progress of your switch, you can contact Share Energy for an update.

Can you track a referral in the Share Energy app?
You cannot track another person's switch progress in the app. Once the referral reward has been issued, credit customers can see the credit on their account. Keypad customers receive their top-up code by email.
