THE Essex Energy Switch is a county wide collective energy switching campaign designed to help Essex residents cut their gas and electricity bills.

This winter’s Essex Energy Switch runs until 14 February 2017, and can give small and medium businesses in the county a chance to make savings on their bills.

Once registration has closed, energy providers will bid against one another to obtain the custom of those who have registered. The winning bidder will be whichever company offers the best prices.

This is a great opportunity for busy business owners who don’t have time to hunt around for the best offer. It is free to register for the Energy Switch and you are under no obligation to switch providers.

The prices offered will be based on the number of businesses and residents who register. This means that the more people who register their interest, the better the deal offered.

Councillor David Finch, Leader of Essex County Council has registered for the Essex Energy Switch in previous years and is encouraging more people to take advantage of the opportunity.

He said “At Essex County Council we’re proud of the support we offer local businesses. This is a great opportunity for business owners in the county to make savings on their energy bills and I strongly urge everyone to consider registering for the Essex Energy Switch”
