Could you go green and save?

Lightbulbs and a sprouting plant

There’s still time to sign up and save in our latest round of the Big Community Switch.

You could join scores of other households in Blaby District and benefit from an exclusive tariff that is offering average savings of £199.

It's thanks to the community buying power of a reverse auction organised through switching experts, iChoosr. Registration for the scheme has been extended until 28 July. You can find all the details here: Big Community Switch

British Gas has won the auction, the supplier which offered the best deal with its Dual Fuel online billing tariff. The bonus is the tariff is 100% renewable energy giving you the chance to go green as well as saving money.

The Blaby District Council Big Community Switch provides a hassle-free way to switch to this competitive fixed tariff.

It works through economies of scale. The more people who sign up the better the deal can be. Trusted and vetted suppliers are invited to take part in a reverse auction with the best-value overall tariff chosen.

Sign up and you will receive your own personal offer from British Gas. If it’s not right for you then there’s no obligation to accept.  

Councillor Les Phillimore, Blaby District Council Portfolio Holder for Housing, Community and Environmental Services, said: "The deadline for registrations has been extended to allow more people to access this great deal through the Big Community Switch.

"Looking for the best value energy tariff can be daunting prospect for some. This scheme takes out all the hard work plus provides a 100% renewable energy tariff so you can do your bit for sustainability and reducing carbon emissions. It’s a win, win. And there’s no pressure to accept if you feel the tariff offer doesn’t meet your needs."
