Households switching electricity supplier and saving millions

AROUND £18.9 million was saved by 270,000 households in the North West in the last 6 months, simply by changing electricity supplier.

The figures, released as part of the 'Power to Switch' campaign, show that within the North West:-

38,000 households in Manchester saved around £2.7 million

25,000 households in Liverpool saved around £1.8 million

21,000 households in Chester saved around £1.5 million

The 'Power to Switch' campaign encourages people to switch supplier and save money by visiting:- BeAnEnergyShopper.com. Millions of people can save around £200; and some can save even more.

Nationally, during a 4 week period for the campaign, both gas and electricity switches through price comparison sites resulted in 130,000 households saving £38 million; an increase of 193% on the previous year.

Wrapping up the campaign, Energy and Climate Change Secretary, Ed Davey, said:- "Switching puts money back in people’s pockets; and thanks to our reforms, thousands are taking advantage of cheaper deals and a more competitive market.  We want even more people to join the thousands who are switching and saving today."

Energy and Climate Change Minister, Amber Rudd, said:- "With 27 energy companies on the market and some fixed deals £100 cheaper than they were a year ago, there’s never been a better time to find a great deal, switch and save."

The Government’s programme of energy market reform includes:-


Halving switching times - it now takes only 17 days to switch energy supplier down from 5 weeks last year

Encouraging new suppliers on to the market; there are now 21 independent suppliers

Legislating to back Ofgem reforms that force energy companies to make energy bills clearer; and providing information for customers about how to switch
