Troubleshooting

How to fix Essent not working

Essent is up on our end, so if it won't work for you, the problem is most likely on your side. Work through these in order:

Your browser tries to reach essent.nl over your own connection, right now. Nothing is sent to us or stored.

Reload Mijn Essent
If the dashboard opens but keeps spinning, reload the page without cached files. Press Ctrl+F5 on Windows, or press Command+Shift+R on a Mac.
Try a private window
A stuck login can come from an old session cookie, especially after the browser has saved your sign-in for a while. In Chrome, use Menu > New Incognito window, then open essent.nl and sign in again.
Clear essent.nl data
Remove only this site’s stored data before you clear the whole browser. In Chrome on desktop, go to Settings > Privacy and security > Site settings > View permissions and data stored across sites, search for essent.nl, then delete the saved data and sign in again.
Reset the app install
If the app opens but usage, invoices, or meter readings will not load, update it first. On iPhone, open App Store > profile icon > Updates; on Android, open Play Store > profile icon > Manage apps and device > Updates available. If it still fails, remove the app, install it again, and use the help centre at http://www.essent.nl/content/particulier/klantenservice/contact_met_essent/index.html.

While Essent is down: what to use instead

Mijn Essent app Use the app if the website will not load; it can cover common account tasks such as checking invoices and your monthly payment.
Website account Try the website if the app stalls, because the same account area is often enough for meter readings and contract details.
Customer service Contact support if you need a payment arrangement, a move processed, or help with access while the online account is unavailable.
Your grid operator Contact your local grid operator if your electricity or gas is out, since supply faults are handled outside the account service.

About

What happens when Essent goes down

Essent is a Dutch energy supplier for electricity and gas, with essent.nl and Mijn Essent used by households and small businesses to manage their contract. When it has trouble, you may lose access to meter readings, usage views, invoices, payments, and changes to your customer details.

Login usually breaks first. You may see the app hang after signing in, the website send you back to the login page, or Mijn Essent load without your contract data. Usage graphs, invoices, and meter reading forms can fail while the public pages still open. Most online problems are partial rather than a sign that energy delivery has stopped; regional power or gas faults are normally handled by the local grid operator, not by the account portal.

Questions

Essent FAQ

Is Essent down right now?

The status at the top of this page shows whether problem reports for the service are above their usual level, counted in 15 minute windows over the last 24 hours. Those reports are sent to a public outage reporting service; this site does not monitor the service or collect reports itself. If Mijn Essent will not load for you, try the website on mobile data and on your home connection; if only one path fails, restart the modem or clear the browser cache.

Why can't I log in to Mijn Essent?

Check the email address on the contract, then reset the password if the page says the login details are not accepted. If the reset mail does not arrive, look in the spam folder and wait a bit before asking again, because two reset links can make the older one fail. A private browser window can also help when the login page keeps sending you back to the start. If it still fails, use the Essent help centre: http://www.essent.nl/content/particulier/klantenservice/contact_met_essent/index.html.

Why does the Essent app show no usage or old meter data?

Usage in the app can lag when smart meter data has not reached the account yet. Check that the contract address in the app is the one you want and that your smart meter can be read remotely. Log out and back in if the app opens, but the usage screen keeps spinning.

Why can't I submit a meter reading to Essent?

The form can reject a reading when the number is lower than the previous one or the wrong register is entered. Read the meter label carefully, and enter only the digits the field asks for. If you have just moved, wait until the address appears in Mijn Essent before trying again.

Why will my Essent invoice or payment page not open?

Invoices often open as a PDF, so a browser that blocks downloads can make the page look stuck. Allow downloads for the site or try another browser, then open the invoice again from Mijn Essent. If iDEAL does not hand over to your bank app, test the bank app on its own before retrying the payment.

How we track Essent

The status on this page comes from user-submitted problem reports for Essent, counted in 15-minute windows over the last 24 hours. Each window is compared with the normal level for Essent, so a few complaints on a quiet day don't trigger anything, but a sudden jump well above normal does.

When reports climb well above normal, the status here changes to partial outage or major outage and the chart moves with it. Essent doesn't publish a public status page that we know of, so user reports are often the quickest sign that something is wrong on their side.
