Lawrence Slade. Chief Executive of Energy UK. who is stepping down from his post at the end of the year. said: “It is positive to see switching figures increase last month. despite the record breaking heatwave and dip in customers switching supplier in June. We hope that in the coming months. customers continue to seek out the best energy deals from the 60 different suppliers on the market.
I’d encourage everyone to get in touch with their current supplier. or look online. to see what savings could be made on their energy bill. Additionally. investing in energy efficiency measures – such as roof insulation or getting a smart meter – will help to reduce bills even further. whilst also reducing household carbon footprints.
The news comes after Ofgem announced a reduction in the price cap from October this year.
