Uswitch comment on Energy UK switching data

Cordelia Samson, energy expert at Uswitch.com, comments:

“It’s good news to see that the number of people switching energy suppliers has risen for the first time during lockdown.

“Households have been using more energy than usual while staying at home, and the extra heating and electricity is predicted to add £195 a year to bills.

“Too many families under financial pressure are still paying over the odds for their energy, and switching suppliers is a great way to save money.

“Some customers on standard variable tariffs could save up to £316 by switching to the cheapest fixed deal on the market.

“If you’re on a standard variable tariff, do a search online and see how much money you could save by moving to a fixed deal.”
