Centrica were discarded when they split off from British Gas, because my then PEP provider did not include them in their list of approved shares.
I might otherwise have kept them, but based on my own experience with CNA, t/a British Gas, they are not a company in which I have much faith. I moved away from them to EDF for my gas supply because they were uncompetitive. I think that there are better retail energy companies, and I hold SSE, having previously held Energy (split out of Hanson), which was taken over, moved into Scottish Power, again taken over, and am now with SSE.
The other company split out of British Gas, or BG Group as it became, was Lattice which merged into National Grid. And of course RDSB now owns BG., which I sold because of low yield, so we end up going round in circles.
