Big Sheffield switch

[Jeffrey Shaw 90]

SCC are offering just the same as several private-sector utility-switching firms do.

I imagine that the bulk-buying achieves an extra saving (and that SCC are remunerated too).

[Mr Bloom 10]

Have you registered for The Big Switch?

 

As far as I know, there is nothing to lose, but potentially quite a bit to gain. I've been hearing about communities getting cheaper energy deals by grouping together. This sounds great.

 

Are you going to be signing up?

[Mr Bloom 10]

I registered my interest, there's nothing to be lost and possibly something to gain if the savings are worthwhile. You don't have to commit to the scheme at this stage so why not register?

 

My sentiments exactly.

[Hook 10]

Do the council get cashback from the energy companies for all the people who switch?

[Buzzing 10]

Ive signed up as people have said there is nothing to loose by just regsitering your interest at this stage.

Hate to think what my gas bills will be like given the freezing weather we are having at the moment.

Heres the weblink to sign up in case anyone needs it

I don't really understand how it works but it seems genuine and can't hurt to sign up and decide later

Has anyone accepted the quote from Sainsburys energy ? . I will be £150 better off if i change. But i know Sainburys are not a good company to use . They are extremely heavy handed with trying to sell you their services.When i changed to their telephone tarriff my debit card was cloned and alot of money was taken . Not sure the savings is worth the hassle.

I'm currently with SSE, and on a fixed tarriff until August 2014

thus I didn't sign-up for the big switch. SSE charges and tarrifs below.

 

Can anyone who has been made an offer in the Big switch publish the

charges and tarriffs they have been offered.

 

 

 

Yorkshire Area: SSE charges and tarriffs for Price Fix-7 inclusive of VAT

 

Electric charge per day: 16.05

Electric unit tarrif: 13.90

 

Gas charge per day: 34.34

Gas unit tarrif: 4.36

[Jeffrey Shaw 90]

I find Atlantic (a separately-run part of SSE) to be excellent value.

Just compared my quote from the Big switch with Sainsburys via uSwitch - and although the uSwitch one is up to Apr 2014 as opposed to July 2014, the unit price is cheaper going through uSwitch. Hmmmm.

Our quite worked out that we would be £200 worse off than what we are now.

[Jim Hardie 524]

£300 worse off.
