The Big London Energy Switch

The Big London Energy Switch is a scheme which is bringing together Londoners who want to lower their gas and electricity bills.

Energy bills are likely to continue to rise significantly over the coming years, putting many more thousands of people across London into fuel poverty.

There are already more than an estimated 325,000 households living in fuel poverty in the participating boroughs.
Londoners  would benefit most from switching to a lower energy tariff, by collectively negotiating on their behalf a better deal from the gas and electricity companies.

Brent residents have until 31 March 2013 to register.

After this date, a 'reverse-auction' will be held with energy suppliers, who can bid to provide energy to households that have signed up.

There is no obligation to sign up to a new provider.
The more people who join the better. Similar schemes have achieved savings of up to £200 a year on energy bills per household.
