⸻
What is a Letter of Authority (LOA)?
A Letter of Authority (LOA) is a formal letter that allows a third party — e.g., an energy broker or consultant — to act on your behalf when negotiating with energy suppliers.
Why is an LOA necessary in the energy industry?
Suppliers must have written permission prior to releasing contract details, use statistics, or allowing any third-party negotiations. An LOA encourages openness and legal accuracy.
What does the LOA allow an energy broker to do?
It typically allows brokers to:
* View energy use and billing information
* Request quotes from suppliers
* Negotiate renewals or changes to contracts
* Supply change of tenancy forms (if necessary)
* Negotiate with suppliers on your behalf
Signing an LOA is it a contract?
No. An LOA doesn’t obligate you to any energy contract. It only authorizes the broker to obtain information and negotiate with the suppliers.
How long does an LOA last?
Most LOAs are for 12 months but could be otherwise. You can terminate it anytime in writing.
Is the LOA legally binding?
Yes, but only for the authorization it provides. It won’t give power to a broker to make decisions or sign agreements in your name on your behalf.
