Had to get a quote to get a gas line connection to the house. Lewis was the point of contact and we could not get anyone more professional, kind and swift. He immediately had the answers to all our queries and broke everything down for us which made it very to understand and reassuring. Would highly recommend this company to anyone.

1. Get in touch
To request your personal data, please, complete the Data Subject Access Request Form. Although this is not compulsory it will help us get a better understanding of what personal data you require and help us meet your expectations.
Should you not wish to complete a form then we, still, require you to put your request in writing, setting out exactly what personal data you require and over what period(s).
Please send your written requests to
Email: datamanager@crownenergy.co.uk

Where you choose not to use our Data Subject Access Request Form, would you, please, provide clear details as to what personal data items you require from us and, where possible, an idea of when such items could have been processed? Such information will allows us to process your request effectively.
As soon as we receive your request we will record and acknowledge it within two business days and provide you with a reference number. Upon validating your request, we may contact you to clarify your request and/or ask for further information to help us locate the personal data.
2. Verifying your request and timeframe for response
As we will be retrieving personal data, you will appreciate it is important that we are able to confirm your identity before any personal data is released. We are under no obligation to supply you with any data until we have received satisfactory proof of identity.
Once we have confirmed your identify we are committed to responding to your request within one month. However, if we are unable to meet this timescale, we will contact you as soon as possible to confirm the date by which we will be able to respond – this must not be more than 90 days from the date we first verify your request.
If we are unable to process your request then we will notify you as soon as we can and justify why this cannot be processed.
3. Applicable Charging
In most cases no fee will be charged for a Data Subject Access request. However, where we can demonstrate that the request is unfounded or excessive we may charge an administration fee of £10.00. If this is the case we will contact you beforehand.
4. Response
Unless you inform us otherwise we will respond to your request electronically, although we can provide you with hardcopies upon request.
There may be circumstances where we will be unable to provide you with the personal data items that you have requested. These may include:
- Where personal data has been deleted in line with our data retention policy
- Where personal data also relates to other individuals – unless we can obtain their consent then their identity will be redacted.
- Where the personal data falls within certain categories e.g. legal advice, confidential references, criminal investigation or tax collection.
Should we be unable to provide you with your personal data, we will explain why and refund your fee, if paid.
5. Next Steps
We aim to provide a satisfactory response to all data subject access requests. However, if you have an issue with how we handled your request or with how we have handled your personal data could you, please, let us know so that we can work with you in an effort to resolve it.

What Our Customers Say
I have used Crown energy over the past 8 years on multiple projects. I have found them to be very easy to work with, they are both professional & knowledgeable. The most recent application was for services for a new build block of 34 apartments. Michelle Kelly was the lady I have been dealing with on my most recent application, she was very helpful, enthusiastic, professional, she even took the time to go back to the contractors with my many questions & differing requirements.
Good old fashioned customer service. Lily, my first contact was polite, very communicative and knowledgeable about the service they offered she was a delight to talk to. Tegan, contract person was efficient and so far has kept me up to date with all I need to know. I would recommend the company to others on their customer service alone.
