THERE is still time for residents in Studley and Alcester to save on gas and electricity by signing up for Warwickshire County Council’s latest collective energy switching scheme – Warwickshire Switch and Save.
For those who did not sign up to the scheme before last month’s reverse auction they still have time to register before the current campaign closes on July 6, 2021.

Warwickshire Switch and Save uses residents’ collective bargaining power to increase competition amongst energy providers and secure better energy prices.
This scheme is delivered as part of a continuing partnership with iChoosr which utilises their expertise in negotiating with energy providers to secure the best prices for consumers.
At the May 2021 reverse auction, the following energy suppliers won:
Dual fuel online (Monthly Direct Debit) – Shell Energy
Elec-only online (Monthly Direct Debit) – Shell Energy
Dual fuel paper (Monthly Direct Debit) – Shell Energy
Elec-only paper (Monthly Direct Debit) – Shell Energy
Pre Payment Meter – Omni Energy
Over 24,200 households in Warwickshire have registered with the scheme to date and 6,200 have made the switch and saved a combined amount of £1.5million on their gas and electricity bills as the scheme continues in its popularity.
Councillor Peter Butlin, deputy leader of the authority and portfolio holder for finance and property, said: “Some residents will be paying too much, particularly if they haven’t switched supplier for a while, so I’d encourage everyone not to delay and sign up now.
“In the last reverse auction, many of those who registered were eligible for a saving on their energy bills.”
