Walsall’s Big Community Energy Switch

If you live in Walsall or have friends or family who do you may be interested in this.

Why pay more than you need to for your gas and electricity bills? Thousands of people have already saved money by joining collective energy switch schemes and you could join them by signing up to Walsall's Big Community Switch.

By allowing customers to join together to form a single powerful buying unit, cheaper energy bills could be the result for each household that signs up.

Once you have registered your interest, the council will go to auction along with other councils across the country to see which energy company will offer the best tariff. The more people who register for the auction, the more incentive there is for the energy companies to offer a better deal.

Walsall Council is looking to take part in regular auctions allowing its residents to take advantage of this proven method of getting cheaper bills.

A recent auction by Wolverhampton City Council took place on 9 April 2013, on average people were offered a deal from the energy companies that would save them £114 off their annual bill for gas and electricity.

The next auction will take place on June 3 2013.

Interested? All you need to do is complete the quick registration process, there's nothing to lose.

How to register

Registering is easy, it is free and only takes a few minutes.

This is available to all householders, including people living in rented accommodation and those with a prepayment meter, even those with a debt of up to £500 are able to switch supplier.

Simply supply your contact details along with information about your current energy supplier, the current tariff plan and how much you are currently spending on energy. You will find this information on your recent bills.

All you need to do is register your details which can be done online at www.walsall.gov.uk/bigswitch

Up to five people can be registered on one email address, so why not register a relative or neighbour who does not have internet access?

If you don’t have an email address and want the council to help you register phone us on 01922 652500.

What happens next?

After the auction is held, you will receive a personal offer and will be able to see how much money you could save. You can then decide whether or not to accept the no-obligation offer.
