Locals Urged To Join Mass Switch To Clean Energy
The Clean Energy Switch campaign will use the bargaining power of tens of thousands of people to cut the cost of renewable energy making it affordable for ordinary families.
In the first week of the campaign 50,000 households have signed up. Redcar MP Anna Turley urges people in Redcar & Cleveland and across Teesside to sign up and add their weight to the campaign.
The Clean Energy Switch campaign is run by consumer collective The Big Deal and campaigning organisation 38 Degrees. It’s free to sign up and there are zero obligations. If you don’t like the deal that is negotiated you don’t have to take it.
Locally one of the biggest pressures on local families is the rising cost of energy bills. Anna Turley believes that this pressure on families locally and nationally will continue “if we remain reliant on traditional fuels like coal and gas to generate electricity.
“I am pleased to give my support to the Clean Energy Switch campaign and urge as many people as possible to join me so that we can make it easier and affordable to go green, helping people to save money on their energy bills and protecting the environment.”
Will Hodson who is the Co-Founder of The Big Deal, said “It is fantastic that Anna is backing the Clean Energy Switch. The Big Deal has long used collective bargaining power to make energy more affordable. With the Clean Energy Switch, we'll make it affordable and sustainable. Millions of Britons feel a duty to help environment - the Clean Energy Switch will help them save some money in the process.”
How it works:
- People sign-up for free at the website entering just an email address and postcode to express an interest. There are zero obligations. Signing up does not mean you have to take the deal.
- Using the collective bargaining power of tens of thousands of people a brilliant green energy deal is negotiated via a reverse auction with green energy suppliers.
- The winning tariff is announced, delivering the cheapest genuinely green energy tariff on the market. It’s free to take and means people will save the planet as well as save themselves some money.
- People then begin switching to the tariff which is open for a limited period only.
