Local councils in London are running a scheme – The Big London Energy Switch – to help you make a quick and hassle-free switch to a cheaper energy provider.  The more people that register for The Big London Energy Switch, the greater the buying power will be, and the lower the price that may be offered.
 
A number of similar collective switch programmes have been set up by organisations such as the consumer group Which? and by local authorities including Cornwall Council and South Lakeland District Council.
 
How to register? You can register your interest in taking part by going to www.biglondonenergyswitch.org.uk and leaving your details.  When the auction is ready to go live, we will contact you – only at that point will you need details of your energy supplier and a recent bill.  There is nothing to lose by registering and you can change your mind at any time.
