A residential renewable energy supplier backed by BP is nearing collapse, joining the growing list of industry players which have found themselves unable to weather surging wholesale prices

It was unclear this weekend whether the small supplier was in any talks about alternative means of continuing to fund itself that could preserve its future.

News of the latest prospective casualty comes amid warnings to ministers from industrial users of energy that they face a mounting crisis during the winter months. Ovo, which joined the ranks of the market's biggest players when it completed the takeover of SSE's retail customer base nearly two years ago, lodged a bid for Bulb with the backing of Mitsubishi, its biggest shareholder.
