David urges residents to join The Big Switch to cut energy bills
March 2, 2012 2:00 PM
Bradford MP David is urging Bradford residents to join the Big Switch Campaign which aims to use the combined switching power of thousands of consumers to negotiate a better deal from electricity and gas companies.
David has also signed a Parliamentary Motion calling on Parliament to support the initiative led by consumer magazine, Which? and action group, 38 Degrees.
Consumers are encouraged to register their interest in The Big Switch and negotiators will work on their behalf to secure a low price energy deal.
When the deal has been struck, consumers will be notified by email giving them an option on whether or not to accept.
Commenting, David said:
"This campaign gives consumers the chance to take back some control over energy prices by making companies compete for their business.
"For too long, we have been at the mercy of suppliers because most people have never switched their energy company or are confused by the different tariffs that are available.
"By signing up to The Big Switch, people can allow expert negotiators to work on their behalf and then decide whether the new deal suits them. This could bring big savings at a time when energy prices are crippling many family budgets.
"I would urge everyone to take a close look at this campaign and sign up to see what it could do to help the household finances."
