An incumbent energy supplier is the default energy supplier for that area, and this varies depending on where you live.

Households in London have EDF as the incumbent electricity supplier and British Gas as the incumbent gas supplier.

This doesn’t mean that EDF and British Gas are your suppliers if you live in London, but if you have never changed energy supplier, and neither has the previous tenant, they will be – and you will be vastly overpaying for the energy you use on a standard energy tariff.
