The company confirmed that using the “Shell” brand for its new domestic supply operations was one of the options currently being examined.
Shell acquired residential energy supplier First Utility last month in a deal thought to be worth £200m.
First Utility already operates in the German household energy market under Shell’s brand via a licensing agreement signed in 2015.
First Utility, which serves around 825,000 homes in the UK, is now a subsidiary of Shell within its new energies division.
Shell has appointed Colin Crooks, previously vice president of downstream strategy and portfolio, as First Utility’s chief executive.
The acquisition of First Utility is part of Shell’s strategy to sell its products across the energy chain.
Shell already sells energy to industrial and commercial customers, in addition to motorists via its petrol station network.
Shell’s move into the UK’s domestic energy market comes at a turbulent time for the sector, with the government bringing forward a bill last month that would give energy regulator Ofgem the power to cap expensive energy tariffs.

Royal Dutch Shell conspired directly with Hitler, financed the Nazi Party, was anti-Semitic and sold out its own Dutch Jewish employees to the Nazis. Shell had a close relationship with the Nazis during and after the reign of Sir Henri Deterding, an ardent Nazi, and the founder and decades long leader of the Royal Dutch Shell Group. His burial ceremony, which had all the trappings of a state funeral, was held at his private estate in Mecklenburg, Germany. The spectacle (photographs below) included a funeral procession led by a horse drawn funeral hearse with senior Nazis officials and senior Royal Dutch Shell directors in attendance, Nazi salutes at the graveside, swastika banners on display and wreaths and personal tributes from Adolf Hitler and Reichsmarschall, Hermann Goring. Deterding was an honored associate and supporter of Hitler and a personal friend of Goring.
Deterding was the guest of Hitler during a four day summit meeting at Berchtesgaden. Sir Henri and Hitler both had ambitions on Russian oil fields. Only an honored personal guest would be rewarded with a private four day meeting at Hitler’s mountain top retreat.
