Warwickshire residents have already saved over £770K on their gas and electricity bills and are now encouraged to join the latest Big Community Switch to see how much they could save.
Warwickshire County Council has opened its 7th reverse auction in an effort to help its residents save money on their energy bills. Using their collective bargaining power residents can increase competition amongst energy providers and secure better energy prices. We have partnered up with iChoosr to use their expertise in negotiating with energy providers to secure the best prices for our residents.
Residents can register their interest in the scheme before the auction begins.
Those who have registered their interest, will then be given a personalised offer showing how much they could be save by switching. If the householder is happy with the deal they can then proceed and switch suppliers totally free of charge.
Over 11,000 households in Warwickshire have already registered and saved a combined amount of £778,000 on their gas and electricity bills as the scheme continues in its popularity.
Rob Powell, Strategic Director -Resources, said:
“Some residents will be paying too much, particularly if they haven’t switched supplier for a while, so I’d encourage everyone to sign up and see what offer they receive.
In our last reverse auction, over 95% of those who registered were eligible for an average saving of£285 on their energy bills. How much could you save? Don’t delay, sign up today”
In recent years, some of the winning suppliers have offered 100% renewable energy giving residents peace of mind when considering their environmental footprint. This trend seems set to continue with more and more companies becoming more environmentally aware.
The amount of money that can be saved will vary depending on the customers current tariff, payment method, consumption and the winning bid. There is no guarantee that an offer will be the cheapest, but the model aims to ensure the majority of participants are offered lower annual energy bills than they are on currently.
Residents who want to take part in this fantastic initiative should visit https://www.warwickshire.gov.uk/switchandsave and have their latest energy bill to hand as they will need the details during the registration process.
Registration opened on Tuesday 1st April 2020. The auction takes place on 19th May 2020, with individual offers posted or emailed to residents from 1st June 2020.
