Join the Big Community Switch and take control of your energy bills!

Registration is now open for the Big Community Switch - and residents of Stockton-on-Tees Borough are being urged to sign up to fix their energy tariff!

The Big Community Switch is a safe and simple option for our residents to try and save money on their fuel bills.

Switching means you can fix your tariff and you no longer have to waste precious time comparing prices as it's all done for you! It's free to do and there is no obligation to switch.

Residents across the Borough can now register for the next online auction on March 18, when a variety of energy companies will compete to become the energy supplier for customers that sign up for the switch.

The more customers signed up and registered the more competitive the deal is likely to be.

Once registered, you will receive your personal offer highlighting how much you might save compared to your current energy tariff. If you choose to accept this no obligation offer you will need to follow the online instructions to make the switch.

Councillor Clare Besford, the Council's Cabinet Member for Environment and Transport, said: "We understand that many households are frustrated with the high energy costs and are still struggling with bills, that's why we're committed to seeking better deals working in partnership with Big Community Switch and iChoosr.

"But we also understand that switching energy suppliers can be a daunting task, and  we're here to help and to guide you through the process.

"Don't wait any longer to see if you can start saving on your energy bills. Join the Big Community Switch today and take control of your energy costs."

You can take part if you rent your home, but you must have an energy bill in your or your partner's name. If you have a prepayment or key card meter you can also register, but you must not be more than £500 in debt to your current fuel supplier to switch.

If you, or someone you know, can't access the form you can still register by calling the Big Community Switch registration line on 0800 048 8439. Lines are open Monday to Friday, 8am to 5:30pm, please have a recent energy bill to hand.
