Householders have been urged to reclaim money they may have left in closed accounts with energy providers.
According to the industry trade body, more than £200m has been left in 3.5 million frozen accounts.
The campaign by Energy UK comes after regulator Ofgem uncovered the scale of the closed accounts.
Last February it told the so-called big six providers - British Gas, EDF Energy, E.ON, npower, ScottishPower and SSE - to refund the former residential customers.
Ofgem also found that the firms were holding some £204m from 300,000 closed business accounts.
Energy UK has since launched the My Energy Credit campaign and said around £50m had been reunited with its owners.
It is now pushing for more people to pursue money they may be owed and it has set up a helpline, freepost address and website.
Energy UK chief executive Lawrence Slade said: "This campaign aims to inform customers throughout the UK about money that might be owed to them by their previous energy supplier.
"Energy companies have long had systems in place to give back energy credit to customers.
"This campaign spreads awareness and makes it easier for consumers to check whether they are owed money or not."
Meanwhile, consumers have been warned that green measures, including insulating homes and boosting clean electricity, have added around £100 to household bills.
The Committee on Climate Change said a further £55 would be added to bills by 2020.
