SILHILLIANS can now register to take part in a scheme to go green and save money on energy bills.
Solihull Council is partnering with Switch Together Energy, the national energy switching initiative formerly known as Big Community Switch, to help residents save money on their energy bills while accessing tariffs backed by renewable electricity.
This scheme brings households together across the UK to negotiate exclusive, fixed-rate tariffs with fully vetted suppliers.
The Council says by using the buying power of a large group, communities can secure better deals than anyone switching provider on their own.
Councillor Andy Mackiewicz, cabinet member for Climate Change and Planning, said: “Under its previous name Big Community Switch, this scheme has been very effective in helping more than 7,580 residents save a staggering £1.921 million combined, as well as 3,687 tonnes of CO2 since 2015.
“Switch Together Energy continues this collective approach of pooling the purchasing power of the community to get a competitive deal on fixed-rate tariffs that are backed by renewable energy.”
Residents who register will receive a personal energy offer after the scheme’s auction.
Participation is free, and there is no obligation to switch.
