We calculate thermal corrections to the Casimir energy of a massless scalar field in the Kerr black hole surrounded by quintessence, taking into account the metrics derived by Ghosh [S. G. Ghosh, Eur. Phys. J. C 76, 222 (2016)] and Toshmatov et al. [B. Toshmatov, Z. Stuchlík and B. Ahmedov, Eur. Phys. J. Plus 132, 98 (2017)]. We compare both results and show that they are almost the same, except very close to the horizons. At [Formula: see text], equatorial plane, the results are the same, as should be expected, due to the fact that the metrics coincide in this region.
