People may be worried about the recent announcement that the Ofgem price cap will rise by 4% on 1 October. That means if you are currently on a variable or standard tariff, your energy bills will go up on 1 October. For many, fixing your tariff offers peace of mind, but choosing the best tariff can often be confusing.
North East Lincolnshire Council has partnered with Switch Together Energy again – the national energy switching initiative formerly known as Big Community Switch, to help local residents save money on their bills while accessing tariffs backed by 100% renewable electricity.
Switch Together brings households from across the country together to negotiate exclusive, fixed-rate energy deals with trusted, vetted suppliers. By joining forces, communities can secure better value than they might achieve alone.
Although the Scheme has a new name, Switch Together still offers the same trusted service – only now it’s bigger, national, and able to unlock even more benefits, including:
- Even better energy deals through collective buying power
- Protection against future price rises
- Access to exclusive tariffs backed by 100% renewable electricity
- A hassle-free, no-obligation switching process
Here’s how it works:
- Register for free online.
- Energy suppliers compete to offer the most competitive tariff.
- You’ll receive a personalised offer based on your energy usage.
- Take time to review the offer and compare it with your current tariff.
- You have four weeks to decide whether to accept the offer.
- If you choose not to switch, there is nothing more you need to do.
Key Dates
- Registration opened: Monday 17 August
- Auction date: Tuesday 29 September
