Minutes:

The big London energy switch

Annie from the citizens advice bureaux, explained that the big London energy switch was a collective energy switching scheme. A group of local authorities across London had come together to help customers pay less for electricity. Any bill payer could take part following registration. A customer would then be contacted with the cheapest tariff available for them without obligation to buy. Many households had saved a lot of money already. See www.biglondonenergyswitch.org.uk
