This little piggy comes to market: Uswitch comments on Oink Energy

A new energy provider, Oink Energy, launches today, claiming to offer consumers a straight-forward solution and simple-talking. Commenting on the launch, Ann Robinson, Director of Consumer Policy at Uswitch.com, says: “It’s great to see another new entrant come onto the market to give the big six a run for their money – especially one that plans to make energy shopping a more enjoyable experience.

“It remains to be seen whether Oink energy will bring home the bacon. At a maximum cost of £1,198 for the average household, this is likely to be some distance from the cheapest deal on the market and more in line with the standard plans from the big six.

“At the end of the day, we all want great customer service and competitive prices. If Oink can live up to all its promises and deliver on these two counts, customers will be laughing all the way to their piggy banks.”
