To help residents in York get a better deal on their energy bills, we are supporting the Big Community Switch. The next big switch will open for registrations in May 2016.
The aim of the scheme is to make it easy and simple for you to consider switching energy providers. We're working with iChoosr and use 'collective purchasing power' to secure better deals for everyone.
Watch our YouTube video for more information on the scheme:

The scheme, which started in December 2013, has so far seen 744 residents join to save on average £169 on their bills.
We can't guarantee you will save money, it depends on your energy use and the price you currently pay for your energy - you may already be on the best value tariff for you.
Small to medium sized enterprises, businesses and community groups can benefit from free, independant, expert advice on better deals for their gas and electricity, call tel: 0800 1884909.
Energy suppliers compete to make the best offer for your custom in an auction. They determine their bid based on the number of participants. So the more people we have registered the more likely we are to secure better tariffs. The supplier with the best tariffs wins the auction. The more people that sign up, the greater our purchasing power will be!
Full details of how the scheme works, who is eligible and full terms and conditions and how we will protect you and your data can be found via the iChoosr registration pages.*
It's important to check what winter energy bill support you are entitled to, see details of the Winter Fuel Payment, Cold Weather Payment and the Warm Home Discount and get more information about our campaign called Save Money by Saving Energy.
* Please note that Partners iChoosr receive commission from winning energy companies and this enables them to offer this scheme to you for free. We also receives a small commission from iChoosr and will use this to further support the 'Save Money by Saving Energy' campaign which aims to help alleviate fuel poverty in the City.
