First Utility’s one millionth customer account marks industry milestone

First Utility has today announced that it has reached the one million customer account mark, serving 550,000 households. Responding to the news, Ann Robinson, Director of Consumer Policy at Uswitch.com, says: “This is a significant milestone for First Utility and evidence that small suppliers are at last beginning to drive competition and make the energy market work for consumers.

“Many of us can save over £200 by switching to a small supplier, which can make a huge difference to cash-strapped households.

“The growing popularity of companies like First Utility shows that small suppliers are here to stay, thanks to the excellent deals they are offering.  If the big six energy providers are to keep hold of their customers, they’ll have to look at introducing more competitive prices and improving their customer service.”
