Which? response to record number of energy customers with small and medium sized suppliers
Alex Neill, Which? Managing Director of Home Products and Services, said:
“It’s no wonder that people are increasingly switching to smaller suppliers when they generally have keener prices and better service.
“As the Government steps in with a price cap, it’s vital that we don’t see this trend reversing. Anyone overpaying on a poor value tariff should look to switch away to a better deal immediately, as they may save up to £305 a year.”
Notes to editors:
- Customers looking for cheaper energy deals can compare deals with Which? Switch, a transparent and impartial way to compare energy tariffs and find the best gas and electricity supplier.
- A £305 saving is based on a medium user (using Ofgem averages of 3,100 kWh electricity and 12,000 kWh gas per year, paying by monthly direct debit, with paperless bills), switching from the priciest Big Six SVT (Npower) to the cheapest deal on the market.
