Justina Miltienyte, energy policy expert at Uswitch.com, said: “This is a double blow for the energy industry and will cause further worry for consumers.
“Avro and Green’s simultaneous exits from the market come after People’s Energy and Utility Point ceased trading last week. Nine energy suppliers have been forced out this year so far and it’s likely that more may follow.
“Soaring wholesale prices are making conditions difficult for all suppliers, but challenger brands in particular are struggling to make ends meet.
“Affected customers will be moved onto new suppliers appointed by Ofgem, but for now they should sit tight and wait until their account is transferred to the new provider before trying to switch.
“Customers can be reassured that their energy supply will continue as normal and any credit balances they have built up will be protected.
“We recommend that Avro and Green customers make a note of their meter readings now, and again when contacted by their new supplier, to ensure bills are accurate.
"Once the new supplier is appointed, they will be in touch to provide more information.”
