Go green and save money

Residents can save money and go green by signing up to the latest round of our collective energy switching scheme. But be quick - you only have until Friday 11 April to express interest.

Which is why the Council is urging households to register now for the Big Community Switch to ensure savings on the recent price cap can be realised.

Working with energy switching experts, iChoosr, the Council-backed initiative could save households on average around £260 on the latest energy price cap. They can also take advantage of a 100% renewable tariff.

The scheme uses collective buying power in a reverse auction where vetted and approved suppliers bid to provide the best value deal.

The process is all managed by iChoosr, taking the hassle out of shopping around. Registration is free, households receive a personalised quote and there is no obligation to take up the offer if it is not suitable.

Since 2012, Big Community Switch has seen more than 2.1 million people nationwide have registered their interest in switching energy contracts through the schemes.

Caroline Harbour, Group Manager for Community Services at Blaby District Council, said: "Rising energy costs continue to place a significant burden on households. They show no sign of decreasing. This scheme offers a practical starting point for residents to make an informed decision about switching their energy supplier.  

"By coming together as a community, residents across Blaby District can access tariffs through the scheme that might not be available to them individually. The scheme also brings a hassle-free way of switching. All people need to do is register, review their offers and if they accept, the switching process is taken care of.

"Tariffs are fixed so there is certainty over bills and the energy is 100% renewable. This allows households to support sustainability, reducing their own carbon footprint as well as that of the District and contributing to our ambition to be a Net Zero District by 2050."
