Join the club to save on energy

Rotherham Borough Council has joined energy regulator Ofgem to raise awareness of the new initiative, which is led by consumer group Which? and online campaigning group 38 Degrees.

The two groups are asking residents to register their interest online by providing their name, postcode and email address before Saturday, March 31.

Which? will then contact people for details of their current gas and electricity suppliers and tariffs so that they can negotiate the best deal with the energy suppliers.

After Which? has negotiated a new deal with an energy company, it will get in touch with residents with details of how much they could save by switching.

Which? will handle also handle the switch if customers decide to go ahead.
