About Corona Energy

Corona Energy is the UK's largest independent business gas supplier, commanding 14% of the industrial and commercial gas market. Founded in 1993, they've grown from a small independent to a major player serving over 17,000 business customers across 84,000+ meter points.

Since 2006, Corona has been owned by Macquarie Group, the Australian infrastructure giant. This backing provides serious financial stability — important in an energy market where supplier failures have become common. They're headquartered in Watford and hold Investors in People Gold accreditation.

"Corona Energy is ideal for gas-heavy businesses who want a dedicated account manager and the security of a well-capitalised supplier — plus genuine green gas options that most competitors can't match."

What sets Corona apart is their dedicated account manager model — every customer gets a named contact rather than a call centre. They also offer one of the few genuine 100% green gas products on the market, backed by Renewable Gas Guarantees of Origin (RGGOs) from biomethane sources.

The myCorona online portal gives 24/7 access to billing, meter readings, and account management. For larger customers, they provide automatic meter reading (AMR) data and sophisticated energy management reporting.

Is Corona Energy Right for You?

An honest look at who Corona suits best — and when another supplier might be better.

Good fit if...

  • Your business is gas-heavy and you want a specialist, not a generalist
  • You value a dedicated account manager over a call centre
  • You have multiple sites and need consolidated portfolio management
  • Genuine green gas (RGGO-backed biomethane) matters for your ESG goals
  • You're a public sector body, corporate, or SME wanting stability
  • Financial security matters — Macquarie backing provides peace of mind

Compare alternatives if...

  • You only need electricity — Corona's heritage is gas, others specialise in power
  • You want to pick up the phone and get a quick fix without account manager escalation
  • You're going through a complex change of tenancy — reviews mention documentation frustrations
  • You want upfront online pricing without needing a quote
  • You're a very low consumption micro-business — Corona targets SME and above
  • Complex rebilling situations frustrate you — some reviews mention issues here

Our view: Corona Energy is excellent for gas-heavy businesses who want dedicated account management and genuine green gas options. If you're electricity-only or need instant phone support, look elsewhere.

Our honest take on support

Corona Energy has a 4.4/5 Trustpilot rating from 2,100+ reviews — solid for a business energy supplier. Positive reviews frequently praise individual staff members by name (Laine, Britney, and others consistently mentioned) and the dedicated account manager model. However, some reviews mention frustrations with the myCorona portal security processes, complex change of tenancy documentation requirements, and occasional rebilling issues. Overall, the dedicated account manager approach means you get personalised service rather than a call centre lottery.

Our Verdict

Smart Energy Partner UK's Largest Independent Macquarie Backed

The UK's gas specialist with genuine green options and dedicated account management

Corona Energy is the UK's largest independent business gas supplier, commanding 14% of the industrial and commercial gas market. Their Macquarie Group backing provides serious financial stability in a market where supplier failures have become common. What sets them apart is one of the few genuine 100% green gas options in the UK, backed by RGGOs (not just carbon offsets). The dedicated account manager model means you get a named contact rather than call centre roulette — staff like Britney, Laine, and Dominic are consistently praised in reviews. The trade-off? Their heritage is gas, so electricity-only customers might find specialists elsewhere. Some reviews mention portal security frustrations and complex change of tenancy processes. But for gas-heavy businesses wanting personalised service and genuine green credentials, Corona is a strong choice.

✓ Strengths

  • 14% I&C gas market share — genuine specialists
  • Dedicated account manager, not call centre
  • 100% RGGO-backed green gas available
  • Macquarie Group financial backing
  • Multi-site portfolio management
  • 4.4/5 Trustpilot with named staff praise

✗ Limitations

  • Gas heritage — electricity specialists elsewhere
  • No published online pricing
  • Change of tenancy can be complex
  • Portal security processes frustrate some
  • Primarily SME/corporate focus

Best For

Gas-heavy businesses who want a dedicated account manager, multi-site portfolio management, genuine green gas options (RGGO-backed), and the financial security of a Macquarie-backed supplier. Ideal for SMEs, corporates, and public sector organisations.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about Corona Energy

Corona Energy is owned by Macquarie Group, the Australian infrastructure and investment giant, who acquired the company in 2006. This backing provides serious financial stability — important in an industry where supplier failures have become common. Corona was originally founded in 1993 and is headquartered in Watford, Hertfordshire.

Corona Energy supplies both gas and electricity to business customers. However, their heritage and market strength is in gas — they hold 14% of the UK's industrial and commercial gas market, making them the largest independent supplier in that sector. They offer dual fuel contracts, but if electricity is your primary need, you might find specialists with more competitive rates.

Corona offers genuine 100% green gas backed by RGGOs (Renewable Gas Guarantees of Origin). This is biomethane injected into the grid from sources like food waste and agricultural residues. It's one of the few properly certified green gas options in the UK market — not just carbon offsetting. For electricity, their ECOrona product offers 100% REGO-backed renewable electricity.

Yes — this is one of Corona's key differentiators. Every customer gets a named, dedicated account manager who stays with you throughout your contract. You're not passed around call centres or constantly re-explaining your business to different people. Staff like Britney, Laine, and Dominic are consistently praised by name in customer reviews.

Corona Energy offers fixed-rate contracts from 12 to 36 months. For larger corporate customers, they also offer flexible procurement options that allow you to buy energy in tranches to manage price risk. Contract terms depend on your usage profile and requirements — through Smart Energy, we can negotiate the best terms for your specific situation.

If you don't renew before your contract ends, you'll roll onto Corona's out-of-contract (deemed) rates — which are significantly higher than fixed contract rates. Most businesses save 15-30% by securing a new fixed rate before expiry. Using a broker like Smart Energy means we track your renewal dates and contact you in advance — so you never accidentally end up overpaying on expensive deemed rates.

Request a quote through Smart Energy and we'll compare Corona's rates against 28+ other suppliers for your specific usage. If they're competitive, we handle the entire switching process — you just sign the contract. We'll also be your ongoing point of contact, tracking renewals and helping resolve any issues. There's no charge for our service; we're paid by the supplier.
