It's all an act. The sustainability, the friendliness, all of it. Go elsewhere.
Goldenergy was recommended to me as a "fair energy company". I signed up while moving to a new flat and stayed with them for a few years.
When I moved to a temporary home a month ago, I cancelled my subscription. In that process a Goldenergy employee said I had been on an "old campaign" and had been overcharged for the duration of the contract.
While the honesty was refreshing, that wasn't exactly the "honest and fair" Goldenergy I had been recommended. However, that's not the worst part.
My move was delayed due to issues with the moving company (they didn't show up days in a row). The apartment was on the 8th floor with sun on the gigantic windows all day and the apartment becomes a sauna without A/C, especially in a heat wave, as we were in at the time (first days of August). I also couldn't open the windows without electricity, since they were blocked by electrical curtains.
The electricity was cut mid-packing and the move, so I called Goldenergy and asked them if they could reactivate it for a few days.
A seemingly friendly Goldenergy employee was very helpful (again, keyword: "seemingly") and said "Yes, no problem, I'll get E-redes to reopen it very soon". He recorded the call and said the electricity would be automatically cut by E-redes after 3-4 days.
Sure enough, the electricity supply came back, but the Goldenergy employee hadn't just reactivated my account for a few days -- he had created an entirely new contract, probably earning him a nice bonus.
That new contract is still active, a month later. The whole "it'll be automatically cut after 3-4 days" part and the friendliness was just part of the act.
Contacting them hasn't helped. They just go in circles around the issue.
Goldenergy, I thought you were different, but you are just as blood sucking as the rest of the energy industry. What a shame.
