Customer feedback on Elexon’s management

Glossary

This page explains how Elexon provides an ‘end-to-end’ management service for the BSC and for our customers and highlights how we have performed based on feedback from customer surveys. The last customer survey was conducted during 2021 and the results are available on this page. The next customer survey will occur during 2024.

Serving our customers

Elexon serves 550 market participants (last updated in December 2021), compared with 534 market participants in July 2021. The participants we serve have a wide range of roles within the electricity industry.

 

 

Customer satisfaction

We commission independent customer surveys to understand people’s views on our performance.  Headline findings from the 2021 survey included that: 

  • 61% of respondents said they would speak highly of Elexon if asked
  • 91% of respondents said that our service had improved or stayed the same in 2021
  • Satisfaction with our OSM service improved significantly, with 54% of respondents rating the
    service highly, compared with 46% in 2020
  • However, the rating our customers give us for value for money declined. In 2020, 63% scored Elexon 8 out of 10 on value for money, falling to 48% in 2021. From the comments received, no specific element was identified here but the survey period did coincide with the sharp increase in wholesale gas prices.
