Residents are being offered exclusive market-leading rates* for home energy thanks to the power of collective energy switching.
East Riding of Yorkshire Council teamed up with technology partner iChoosr, the UK’s leading expert in collective energy switching, in 2013 and has been able to deliver savings of £3.5million so far for East Riding residents.
The average saving at the most recent auction for dual fuel customers was £250 per year.
Residents who register before the next auction, which is taking place on 14 February, will receive a personal offer letter or email letting them know how much they could save against their current deal.
There is no obligation for people to accept their personal offer but, if they do, it is easy to make the switch and the new provider will take care of the whole process.
Councillor Symon Fraser, portfolio holder for asset management, housing and environment at East Riding of Yorkshire Council, said: “We are seeing East Riding residents make real savings on their energy bills.
“YORSwitch is open to everyone. More than 14,000 households have now switched energy suppliers with the council’s support, it’s easy and safe. Once registered, there is no obligation to take up an offer so there is nothing to lose.”
To help as many residents as possible to save on their energy bills, residents can still register after the auction has taken place. These customers will also receive a personal offer; by e-mail or by post. The winning supplier’s offer will be available until 28 March and residents can go online at eastriding.gov.uk/yorswitch and receive an instant quote.
Auctions happen throughout the year, with the next round starting again on 4 April. Residents are encouraged to register for every auction as offers are always changing.
