Uswitch comments on latest Energy UK switching figures

Commenting on today’s figures from Energy UK which show a 12% increase in switching electricity supplier in June 2017 compared to last year, Claire Osborne, energy expert at Uswitch.com, says: “It’s great news to see that even more people are waking up to the benefits of switching. Consumers don’t have to accept whatever price their supplier puts them on, they can vote with their feet to send a message that bills are too high. Energy isn’t always at the front of consumers’ minds during the summer, so to see so many switches in one of the hottest Junes on record shows that they are fed up of receiving ever increasing bills.

“Despite this progress, we can’t ignore that fact that seven out of ten households are still stuck on expensive Standard Variable Tariffs. Those yet to switch could save up to £618 a year by choosing a cheaper deal in a matter of minutes.”
