A south Wales energy company has gone into administration with the loss of almost 300 jobs.
Staff at Consumer Energy Solutions in Swansea and Treorchy were told on Friday that they were being made redundant after the company confirmed it could no longer continue trading.
The jobs being lost are expected to include sales advisors, project planners and staff in heating and insulation departments.
A notice posted on the Consumer Energy Solutions (CES) website on Friday announced that administrators had been appointed. It added that the energy company had “ceased trading with immediate effect”.
CES employs 295 people in Swansea and Treorchy and administrators are now responsible for supporting all workers through the job losses.
The announcement also confirmed CES will be unable to complete any further work for customers.
The notice read: “Please note that James Saunders and Michael Lennon of KR8 Advisory Limited were appointed as Joint Administrators of Consumer Energy Solutions Limited on 9 January 2026, the Company has ceased trading with immediate effect.
“The Company is unable to complete any further work for customers. It should be noted that the Administration of the Company does not involve any other companies in the City Energy Group.
“The Joint Administrators will be contacting creditors and employees directly to confirm the next steps and how claims will be processed. You do not need to do anything further at this stage.”
It added that CES would be unable to carry out any remedial works or repairs, or to progress or resolve any existing complaints.
Previous customers who had an installation completed by CES and may be experiencing issues are being referred to insurance-backed guarantee providers for advice.
